Oct 28, 2025    Daniel Guillaume, Chris DeArman, Ben Hays

In this deep-dive sermon conversation on Exodus 4:18-31, the teaching pastors unpack Moses' pivotal first step back to Egypt. We explore key lessons for every believer facing a major decision, including how to overcome fear, doubt, and "analysis paralysis"1111.


Key Topics Covered:

Wise Counsel: Why Moses sought the blessing and counsel of his father-in-law, Jethro, and the importance of having a "wisdom council" in your life to ask hard questions and affirm God's call


Obedience and Honor: The practical application of taking a step of obedience while honoring those in authority (like a boss, spouse, or pastor)3.Covenant and Identity: The significance of Moses reaffirming the covenant sign of circumcision for his son before leading Israel, showing he identifies with "my brothers in Egypt"


Trusting God's Sovereignty: Finding comfort and encouragement in the Lord's word, knowing that the mission is a "co-commission" (God through you), and that God is in control


Learn how to increase your faith and decrease your fear by resting in God's sovereignty as you navigate the unknowns in your life.
