Main message: God calls ordinary, often reluctant people to “make a difference,” and when we bring our excuses He answers by promising His presence, revealing who He is, equipping us, and providing help so we can serve His kingdom.

Key points:

• The church’s mission: know God, grow in community, then make a difference by serving others—God has work already prepared for you.
• Using Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3–4) as the example, the preacher walks through common excuses people give when God calls them.
• Moses’ objections and God’s responses highlighted: insecurity (“Who am I?”) → God: “I will be with you”; ignorance about God’s identity (“Who are you?”) → God reveals His name and character; perceived inability (speech impediment) → God equips and promises to teach what to say; refusal/asking for someone else → God provides Aaron to help.
• God sends deliverers in response to people’s cries; believers should be ready and equipped to meet those needs (testimony of an airport encounter).
• It’s not about who you are but whose you are—God’s presence enables ordinary people to make kingdom impact.

Scriptures mentioned: Exodus 3 (Exodus 3:1, 3:12, 3:14 implied), Exodus 4, Ephesians 2:10 (paraphrase), 1 Samuel 3:10 (alluded)
