It's Never Too Late for Your Calling

Main message: One encounter with God can turn your life around — God calls ordinary, even flawed people (like Moses) to specific, significant work, equips them, and asks for their surrender and obedience.

Key points:

• Moses’ origin: raised in Pharaoh’s house, fled after killing an Egyptian, spent 40 years as a shepherd and felt disqualified — then at 80 met God at the burning bush (Horeb).
• God’s call at the bush was specific (lead Israel out of Egypt) and Moses raised five common objections (Who am I? Who are you? What if they don’t believe me? I’m not able/speaking is weak; send someone else).
• God’s responses: “I will be with you,” revealed his name “I AM,” provided signs (staff → snake, diseased hand, water → blood), and supplied help (Aaron) — illustrating God equips those He calls.
• “What’s in your hand?” — God often uses what you already have; our responsibility is obedience, God’s is the outcome.
• The burning bush was a turning point, not a starting point; it’s never too late for God to give a turning point and call someone into purpose.
