Some of the most common marks are feelings of inferiority and fear of failure. Moses faced the same problems. Failures 40 years before left him feeling inferior (Acts 7:25). His complete lack of confidence in his own ability left him hesitant to respond to God's call from the burning bush. As a result, Moses here responds to God's plan (3:9-10) by offering one excuse after another. An examination of these verses will enable us to discover how God answers our own excuses when we feel inferior or fearful. It is His way of encouraging us to step out in faith in response to His call to us! Rich Schoenert Rich Schoenert Sun, 27 Jun 2010 9:00:00 CST no In this series, we're looking at the stories of a number of Old Testament personalities who accomplished amazing things for God. We often think of individuals such as Moses, David and Ruth as heroes. But they were flawed human beings, just like us. Yet, they followed the one true Hero who deserves to be followed: the living God Himself who, in Jesus Christ, has entered our lives and, by His Spirit empowers us to make a difference in the world. Today, we're going to consider how God helped Joseph handle temptation. Temptation comes in various shapes, sizes and colors. Because Joseph encountered sensual temptation, we'll concentrate on that one. Sooner or later, almost every Christian struggles with sensual temptation. How do we say "no" when desire screams "yes"? Let's learn from someone who dealt with it God's way. Rich Schoenert Rich Schoenert Sun, 20 Jun 2010 9:00:00 CST no According to ABC News, superheroes have never been more popular than they are today. Since in real life, we're often overwhelmed by our problems, we're attracted to figures with super-human powers as they address injustice and the forces of evil. Their stories encourage us to believe that we can address wrong and make a difference in the world. If only these heroes were not confined to the make-believe world of comic books and film. If only there was a true, living hero who could transcend human weakness, overcome our obstacles and right the wrongs of life. Such a figure would be worthy of our commitment. In this series, we'll consider a number of important Old Testament personalities who accomplished amazing things for God. But unlike Superman and other superheroes, they're not fantasy figures. We'll also learn that they were just like us-flawed human beings-as they sought to follow the one, true Hero who deserves to be followed: the living God Himself who, in Jesus Christ, has entered our lives and empowers us to make a difference in the world. We begin by considering Joseph. Rich Schoenert Rich Schoenert Sun, 13 Jun 2010 9:00:00 CST no June 06, 2010 Rich Schoenert Rich Schoenert Sun, 06 Jun 2010 9:00:00 CST
