GOD’S SERVANT/ MOSES “HEARING REQUIRES LISTENING”
1Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
· Why was it that Moses found himself on the back side of a desert?
· What do you know about the father in law of Moses?
· What can you discern about Moses from just reading the first verse?
· Why do you think that the mountain was named “The Mountain of God?” Who do you think gave the mountain this name?
2And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
· How did God manifest himself to Moses? Why do you think that God chose to manifest himself through a burning bush? What does a “burning bush” tell you about God?
· Why did Moses turn aside to see this bush?
· What first caused you to take an interest in the things of the Lord?
4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
· Now that God had gotten the attention of Moses, what next did he do? Has God ever called you by name?
· How did Moses respond to the call of God upon his life? Why would he be told to take his shoes off from his feet? What would that symbolize?
· Why would God remind Moses of his heritage? How important is your American heritage to you?
· What did Moses do when God identified himself to Moses? Why would he hide his face from God? Is it possible to hide from God?
· Do you think that Moses had a right to not want to talk with the Lord? Might Moses had thought that God had failed him in the past?
7And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
· How much does God know about our suffering? Does God care whether or not we suffer? Then why does he let us suffer so?
· Does God have favorites? Why would God be more inclined to help the Israelites than the Egyptians?
· What do you think would become of our nation if we turned our backs on the nation of Israel today? Do you think that this might happen?
· What was God’s perfect will for his own people? Has God made any promises to us of future provisions?
· What is meant by the “land of milk and honey?”
· Who was living in the promised land at the time? Why were these people not the rightful heirs of the land? Who did it belong to?
· Who does the Land of Israel belong to today? Should the Arabs be allowed to have a “Palestinian State?” Are not Arabs also the sons of Abraham as well of the Israelites?
9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
· Who were the children crying out to in their prayers? When is the last time that you cried out to God in prayer for a need in your life?
· Is it wrong to ask God to deliver you from oppression? Isn’t that complaining and not being thankful to do so?
· Who did God say that he was going to send to deliver Israel? Why do you think that God would choose Moses for such a mission?
11And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
· Did Moses seemed surprised that God would use his life?
· What promises did God make to Moses to encourage him to serve?
