God’s definition of a leader - anyone who steps up to make a difference.

1.   WHO AM I? (INSECURITY)

“The Lord said, ‘I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them.’”

Exodus 3:7-9 (NIV)

“So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Exodus 3:10 (NIV)

“But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?’”

Exodus 3:11 (NIV)

“Each time He said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

“And God said, ‘I will be with you…’”

Exodus 3:12a (NIV)

2.   WHAT IF THEY...? (FEAR)

“Moses answered, ‘What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, The Lord did not appear to you?’”

Exodus 4:1 (NIV)

3.   I HAVE NEVER... (INADEQUACY)

“But Moses pleaded with the Lord, ‘O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though You have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.’”

Exodus 4:10 (NLT)

4.   USE SOMEONE ELSE. (RELUCTANCE)

“But Moses said, ‘Pardon Your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.’”

Exodus 4:13 (NIV)

“God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”

1 Peter 2:9-10 (NLT)
