Let's Figure it Out Together

“But Moses said to God…” A bit cheeky, right? As an obedient servant, shouldn’t Moses just do what God says? But what if you’re uncertain that you’re up to the task? What if you feel you need to push back to make sure you can do what you’re being asked to do? What if you think maybe you might possibly be willing, but you’re going to need some serious help? Perhaps true obedience is not an automatic “You bet!” but a thoughtful “Let’s figure out together how we can actually make this happen”?

Scripture References: Exodus 2:23-25, Exodus 3:1-15, Exodus 4:10-17

From Series: "You're Invited Into - Obedience"

Obedience. It’s no one’s favorite word, especially in a society that so prizes individuality and independence. Because obedience, which implies subservience, seems a strange thing to focus on after taking three-weeks to focus on the importance of relationships. As Google tells us, however (yes, roll your eyes, but it CAN be helpful), “The Latin foundational word for 'obedience' is oboedire, which correctly translated means – ‘to hear or to listen’. This translation implies a relationship of mutuality where members of the community are listening to one another.” Community. Mutuality. Where have we heard THOSE words?
