When God Calls, Say, "Yes” Series Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 31, 2021 (message contributor) Summary: A look at the call of Moses, comparing to our own need to say "Yes" when God calls us to do...anything. Intro: The following excuses are from a collection of excuses that have actually been turned in at school: • "Ralph was absent yesterday because he had a sore trout." • "Please excuse Joyce from P.E. for a few days. Yesterday she fell off a tree and misplaced her hip." • "Please excuse John from being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and also 33." • "My son is under the doctor's care and should not take fizical ed. Please execute him." • "Please excuse Johnnie for being. It was his father's fault." • "George was absent yesterday because he had a stomach." • "Please excuse Sara for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot." • "Please excuse Ray from school. He has very loose vowels." • “Please excuse Casey from school. It was Take Your Daughter to work day. I don't have a job, so I made her stay home and do housework.” • Actually received at a high school attendance office: "Johnny was late today because of a shallow gene pool." • “Please excuse my sister/daughter from school. We told her that her mother is her grandma, her sister is her mother and daddy is still daddy this weekend and she hasn't come out of the bedroom since.” What do we mean by “excuses”? Where does it come from? It’s the reason I shouldn’t be held responsible. It’s the way it’s someone else’s fault. It’s me, being relieved of obligation. It’s the reason I shouldn’t be expected to serve, to give, to participate. I’ve reached the conclusion that excuses are really a symptom. Behind all of them are a few basic causes: fear – I’m afraid of a confrontation, so I begin to make excuses as to why I haven’t made a certain phone call. wrong priorities – I wasn’t very careful with my time – spent it with Fortnite instead of studying for school, so I begin to make excuses for why my homework isn’t done. apathy – Deep down I really don’t want to get involved with someone else’s problems, so I begin to rationalize, to make excuses, for why I’m avoiding them. Help me out here. Call them out: What are some common excuses you hear in the church culture, when it comes to something that needs to be done? No time Can’t afford it Too tired They won’t listen They won’t believe (Your message isn’t good enough, Lord) I’m not able Someone else will do it I already did my time Excuses aren’t new. Barak had an excuses: “I won’t go alone!” - Judges 4:8 Gideon had an excuse: “I’m a nobody” - Judges 6:15 Jeremiah had an excuse: “I’m just a kid” - Jeremiah 1:6 Jesus talked about excuses and our relationship to His Kingdom. But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ If you get nothing else from this story, you can at least learn that God doesn’t like excuses. Let’s set the scene by looking together at Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4 When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And he said, “I am the God of your 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 at God. 7 Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” Related Media SermonCentral Preaching Slide SermonCentral Preaching Slide SermonCentral Preaching Slide

प्रस्थान अध्याय 3 त्यस समय मोशा उसको ससूराका भेडाहरूको हेरचाह गर्दैथिए। तिनका ससूरा यित्रो मिद्यानमा पूजाहारी थिए। मोशाले भेडाहरू मरूभूमिको पश्चिमतिर लगे। मोशा होरेब, परमेश्वरको पहाड गए। 2 पर्वतमा मोशाले परमप्रभुको दूतलाई एउटा बल्दै गरेको पोथ्रामा देखे। पोथ्रामा आगो जलिरहेको थियो तर पोथ्रा चाँहि भस्म भएको थिएन। उनले हेरे त्यो आगो पोथ्रामा जलि रहेको थियो तर पोथ्रा भस्म भएको थिएन। 3 मोशाले विचार गरे, “किन पोथ्रा आगो द्वारा नाश भएको छैन?” 4 जब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई त्यो दृश्य ध्यान पूर्वक हेर्न आएको देख्नुभयो परमप्रभुले पोथ्राबाट यसो भन्दै बोलाउनु भयो, “मोशा! मोशा!”मोशाले उत्तर दिए, “म यहाँ छु।” 5 तब परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “नजिक नआऊ। जुन ठाउँमा तिमी उभिरहेका छौ त्यो भूमि पवित्र हो यसर्थ आफ्नो जुत्ता खोल। 6 म तिम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबको परमेश्वर हुँ।” 7 मोशाले उसको अनुहार छोपे किनभने ऊ परमेश्वर तिर हेर्न डराएका थिए।परमेश्वरले उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मिश्रमा भएका मेरो मानिसहरूले कष्ट भोगेको मैले देखेको छु। मैले तिनीहरूको शोकपूर्ण प्रार्थनाहरू सुनेको छु, जब तिनीहरूका कमारा मालिकहरूले जबरदस्ती कठिन कामहरू गर्न लगाए। म तिनीहरूको दुःखको कारण पनि जानेकोछु। 8 अब म त्यहाँ जान्छु अनि मेरो मानिसहरूलाई मिश्री मानिसहरूबाट बचाउँछु। म तिनीहरूलाई त्यस स्थानबाट निकालेर तिनीहरूले कष्ट भोग्नु नपर्ने स्थानमा लिएर जान्छु। त्यो ठाउँ धेरै-धेरै असल चीजहरूले भरिएको हुनेछ र कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसी जस्ता विभिन्न जातिका मानिसहरू बसो-बास गर्छन्। 9 मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको पुकार सुनेकोछु। मैले देखें मिश्रीहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति जीवन कति कठोर बनाइदिएका छन्। 10 यसकारण अब म तिमीलाई फिरऊन कहाँ पठाउँछु। जाऊ अनि मेरा मानिस इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याऊ।” 11 तर मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “म कुनै एउटा त्यस्तो महान मानिस होइन। म कसरी त्यो मानिस हुन सक्छु जो फिरऊन कहाँ जान सक्छ र इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याउन सक्छ?” 12 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले भलो गर्न सक्छौ किनभने म तिमीसित हुनेछु। यही प्रमाण हुनेछ कि मैले तिमीलाई पठाउँदैछु तिमीले इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशाबाट अगुवाई गरेपछि, तिमी आउनेछौ अनि यही पर्वतमा आराधना गर्नेछौ।” 13 तब मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “जब म इस्राएलीहरू कहाँ जान्छु अनि तिनीहरूलाई भन्छु, ‘म तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरद्वारा पठाइएको हुँ,’ अनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ सोधेमा मैले के भन्नु पर्नेछ?” 14 तब परमेश्वरले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “म जो हुँ’ त्यही हुँ तिनीहरूलाई भनिदेऊ, ‘म हुँ,’ भन्नेले तिमीलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाएको हो।” 15 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई अझ भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले इस्राएलीहरूलाई के भन्नु पर्छ भने, ‘परमप्रभु तिम्रो पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर, अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। मेरो नाउँ सदैव परमप्रभु रहनेछ। यही रूपमा मानिसहरूले मलाई पुस्तौं-पुस्तासम्म चिन्नेछन्,’ यसैकारण मानिसहरूलाई भन, ‘परमप्रभुले मलाई तिमीहरू कहाँ पठाउनु भएको छ।”‘ 16 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई फेरि भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ अनि इस्राएलका बूढा प्रधानहरूलाई एकत्रित गर अनि तिनीहरूलाई भन, ‘यहोवा, तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका अब्राहाम, इसहाक अनि याकूबका परमेश्वर मेरोअघि मानिस जस्तै प्रकट हुनुभयो अनि मलाई भन्नु भयो, यहाँ मिश्रमा भोगेका कष्टहरू र शोकहरू उहाँलाई थाह छ र तिमीहरूलाई उहाँ कष्टबाट मुक्त गराउनु चाहनु हुन्छ। 17 उहाँले यसो भन्नु भयो तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर निकाल्नु हुनेछ, अनि विभिन्न जातिहरूको भूमिमा लानु हुनेछन् जस्तै कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरू अनि दूध र मह बगिरहेको भूमिमा पुर्याउनु हुनेछ।’ 18 ती बूढा-प्रधानहरूले तिमीहरूको कुरा सुन्नेछन्। त्यसपछि तिमी र बूढा-प्रधानहरू मिश्रका राजा कहाँ जानेछौ। तिमीले राजालाई भन्ने छौ “यहोवा हिब्रू मानिसहरूका परमेश्वर हुन्। हाम्रा परमेश्वर हामीकहाँ आउनु भयो अनि हामीलाई तीन दिनसम्म मरूभूमिमा यात्रा गर्न भन्नुभयो। हामीले हाम्रा परमेश्वर यहोवालाई त्यहाँ बलिहरू चढाउनु पर्नेछ।’ 19 “तर म जान्दछु मिश्रको राजाले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनु हुँदैन कुनै महाशक्तिले मात्र उहाँलाई जानु दिने बनाउनेछौ। 20 यसर्थ तिनीहरूमाझ म अचम्मका कुराहरू गर्न महाशक्ति प्रयोग गर्नेछु। जब म महाशक्तिको प्रयोग गर्छु राजाले तिनीहरूलाई छोडन बाध्य गर्नेछु। 21 अनि म मिश्रका मानिसहरूलाई इस्राएली मानिसहरूप्रति दयालु बनाउँनेछु। जब इस्राएलीहरूले मिश्र छाडछन् तिनीहरू रित्तै हात जाने छैनन्। 22 हिब्रू महिलाहरूले तिनीहरूका मिश्री छिमेकीहरूसित सुन र चाँदीको चीजहरू अनि लुगाहरू माग्ने छन्। तिमीहरूले ती चीजहरू तिमीहरूका छोरा-छोरीहरूलाई लगाईदिने छौ। यस प्रकार तिमीहरूले मिश्रबाट सम्पत्ति लिएर आउनेछौ।”
