“We must first be delivered by the Lord before He will use us to deliver others.”
Moses, at age 40 and raised in Pharaoh’s palace, sees the oppression of his people and attempts to deliver them in his own strength. He kills an Egyptian, tries to mediate between two Hebrews the next day, and is immediately rejected. His self-appointed role collapses, and he flees to Midian—entering 40 years of wilderness school.
This message examines three movements in the text: • Attempted Deliverer • Attempted Mediator • Admission to Wilderness School
It confronts the danger of ministry driven by compassion and self-effort without personal deliverance and dependence on the covenant God. Without a clear grasp of the gospel, even sincere leaders end up operating in the flesh and calling others to bootstrap their way out of sin.
