Broken Yet Known
I AM
A flawed view of yourself comes from a flawed view of God.
When you see God clearly, you will see yourself more clearly.
Exodus 3:1-4 NLT One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement. Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn’t burn up. “This is amazing,” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must go see it.” When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
I. PERSONAL
Exodus 3:5 NLT “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.
II. HOLY
Exodus 3:7-8 NLT Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.
III. COMPASSIONATE
Exodus 3:11 But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?
I AM NOT CALLED – I AM INCAPABLE. – I AM INCOMPLETE.
I AM INSUFFICIENT.
Exodus 3:12 God answered, “I will be with you.
IV. SUFFICIENT
2 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?
A LIE BELIEVED AS TRUTH WILL AFFECT YOU AS IF IT WERE TRUE.
1. CALLED BY CHRIST.
1 Peter 5:10 NLT In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 NLT But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
2. CAPABLE THROUGH CHRIST.
Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.
Romans 8:37 We are more than conquerors through (Christ) who loved us.
2 Corinthians 3:4-5 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.
3. COMPLETE IN CHRIST.
2 Peter 1:3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
Colossians 2:9-10 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
