As you all now, there was no youth service last week due to........
The REVO WILDFIRE party at EPCC!!!
Here's what happened,
The REVO WILDFIRE party started with worship.
As you can see from the picture above the sermon last week was about Moses.
And the speaker for that night was non other than....
The Servant (Exodus 2: 16-17)
And the speaker for that night was non other than....
Pastor Sam :D
Moses had three parts to his life. each with a different belief.
1st 40 years of his life - Moses lived as he was somebody
2nd 40 years of his life - Moses realised he was a nobody
3rd 40 years of his life - Moses reaslised that God can use a nobody
Throughout his life Moses made a few mistakes as well.
One of them was when Moses killed the Egyptian for bullying a fellow Hebrew and he hid the body. Even though he hid the body, the Pharaoh still managed to find out about it.
You can hide the wrong but you can't erase it. God glorifies your restoration, not your mistakes.
There are three phases in Moses's life.
You can hide the wrong but you can't erase it. God glorifies your restoration, not your mistakes.
There are three phases in Moses's life.
First,
The Servant (Exodus 2: 16-17)
-Moses acted and did things by himself
-He served served and helped 7 ladies
-One of them was his wife (soon to be)
Philippians 2:5-9 (NIV)
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature of God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
Second,
The Obscure (Exodus 2:18-21)
-Became an alien in a foreign land
-Became a deliverer
And the third,
The Rest (Exodus 2: 23-25)
-Came to the point where he learned to rest
When you have Jesus, your broken dreams and ambitions are restored.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (NIV)
1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
Not everything can be accomplished by your own strength. Sometimes you need help from God. The harder you try to make things work out, the harder it is for Jesus to work in you. But when you start to rest and let Him take control, then he can start to work in you.
That's all for now. See ya'll this Saturday :D
