WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 09/05/2010
Greetings Saints in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: In all things give God praise, he is worthy. This Sunday marks the Labor Day weekend, the end of our summer break, and preparation for kicking off the Fall quarter.
Our theme for this first quarter in “The Inescapable God” and we will consider in the preaching and teaching ways that God reveals himself to us, sustains us, and protects.
This Sunday we will get started with God revealing himself to a shepherd that He was going to put in service to carry out a great task, you know the story and here is the text…
TEXT: Exodus 3:1-6 (New International Version)
1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.
3 So Moses thought, I will go over and see this strange sight— why the bush does not burn up.
4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, Moses! Moses! And Moses said, Here I am.
5 Do not come any closer, God said. Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
6 Then he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: How God calls us from unusual places and calls us to do important work—we need to be ready to say “yes Lord”
SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Learning to agree with God (i.e. do what God wants)
RESPONSIVE READING: #590 Christian Commitment
SEPTEMBER MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 139:7-8 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
