Called to Obey, Called to Care

About this episode

This sermon explores the life of Moses as an example of loving God through obedience and caring for others.

This sermon continued the theme of loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbour, by looking at the life of Moses as a living example. Through Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush, we saw that loving God is shown through wholehearted obedience, even when God’s call feels challenging or costly. Moses trusted God’s presence and responded in faith, understanding that obedience flows from love. His love for God shaped his love for others, as he stood up for the oppressed and vulnerable, reflecting God’s heart for justice and compassion. The message challenged us to listen for God’s voice, respond with obedience, and allow our love for God to be demonstrated through practical action, defending and caring for those in need.
