We all have been saved to serve!

This morning I’d like to challenge us as Christians to serve and not be afraid. We all have been saved to serve, but how many of us have quit because of some fear along the way? In (Ex. Chp. 3+4) Moses was called by God to lead the nation Israel out of Egypt, but do to different fears Moses tried to back out four times. Why ? 1) Moses felt unworthy. Now in the service of God this is not necessarily a bad thing, for there is no place in the service of God for high minded people, but this is still a dangerous fear . You see, God wants us to see that Moses wasn't chosen for his worthiness, but rather for God’s purpose. He wants us to see that He can use anyone. God could have done it Himself, but He chose rather to use a man named Moses as an example of a surrendered life. God enjoys taking a sinner and making him useful, or using the weak to bring about miracles. None of us are worthy, but all of us should be willing. 2) Moses felt unprepared. Now I’ll deal with the other two next week, but here I want you to see that even Moses felt unprepared to do such a job. And so will we without God's help. God told Moses “to go” and to trust in Him for the right words to say, but Moses still feared. Listen, fear always causes us to make excuses for what we know God wants us to do, but if our faith is solely in God nothing is impossible. So don't fear, stop making excuses, and trust in God's ability, and not yours!
