Covered & Confront Sermon

About this sermon

In "Covered to Confront: Returning to Uncomfortable Places," we embark on a transformative journey alongside Moses, from Exodus 4:18-31. As we trace his steps from the dimming embers of the divine bush back to the realities of life, we're invited to ponder deeply on how to carry the fire of God’s presence within us when external signs fade. This sermon unravels the courage and conviction required to face our past with a new perspective, underlining the pivotal role of spiritual guidance, realistic resilience, and divine assurance in navigating these returns. We delve into five strategic approaches to embracing our past challenges with faith and fortitude: -Prayerful Peace: seeking wisdom and blessings from mentors. Ex 4:18 - MSG -Purposeful Priorities: discerning God's directives for our journey. Ex 4:19-20 - MSG -Realistic Resilience: preparing for the hurdles with God's foresight. Ex 4:21-23 - MSG -Team Training: ensuring our circle is spiritually and practically prepared. Ex 4:24-28 - MSG -Worshipful Witness: grounding ourselves in worship as the ultimate preparation for confronting our 'Pharaohs.' Ex 4:29-31 - MSG This message is a call to recognize that while we may have to return to places of previous pain or failure, we do not go back the same. We are changed, equipped, and covered by God’s grace. It's a reminder that our capacity to confront and overcome is not predicated on what we carry in our hands but on being held in the omnipotent hands of God. Join us as we explore how to navigate the journey back to uncomfortable places, not alone, but covered, called, and consecrated for the confrontation ahead.
