After forty years as a fugitive shepherd, Moses encounters God in a way that will change his life—and the course of history—forever. In this sermon on Exodus 2-4, Pastor Stephen Armstrong examines the iconic story of the burning bush and the divine call of a reluctant leader.

He unpacks the profound theological realities of this moment, explaining the nature of a theophany and identifying the "Angel of the Lord" as the pre-incarnate Christ. The message then follows the famous exchange between God and Moses, as Moses raises a series of familiar objections: "What if they don't believe me?" "I am not an eloquent speaker," and "Please, send someone else." For each excuse, God provides an answer, a sign, and the promise of His all-sufficient power and presence.

The sermon pivots from this ancient story to a powerful, direct challenge for believers today. Do we wait for our own "burning bush" moment before we obey? Pastor Armstrong argues that through the complete Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit, we have been given something far greater. This message confronts our own excuses and calls us to act on the truth we already possess, trusting that God will validate our ministry and equip us for the work He has prepared.
