In God’s kingdom, good leaders are good followers. As servant-leaders we are not able to lead others where we are not ourselves willing to go first. God’s leaders are people who do not only talk the talks but also walk the walk. In this intriguing passage, we will see how God confronts Moses on his personal life and reminds him that in ministry, integrity is not optional.

How does God empower his servants to overcome the excuses to his call?

God’s enablement of his servants to overcome their excuses confronts…

I. The insufficiency of their excuses with the sufficiency of his resources Exodus 3:1-4:17.

Moses’ excuses God’s resources
Insecurity 3:11 God’s presence 3:12
Ignorance v. 3:13 Revelation and relationship 3:14-15
Incredulity 4:1 Signs (works of God) 4:2-7
Incompetence 4:10-12 God’s sufficiency 4:11
Indisposition 4:13 Community 4:14-17

II. The duplicity of their character to produce integrity Exodus 4:18-31.
a. Conflict v. 24.
b. Resolution vs. 25-26.
c. Motive?

Leadership without integrity is hypocrisy
Stop making excuses
Trade duplicity for God’s integrity
Don’t let your insecurity distract you from his sufficiency.

1. What excuses have you been giving to God to keep you from doing what he has commanded you to do? Is there an area of your character where God wants you to grow and you continue to procrastinate or disobey?
2. In what areas of your life are you not walking according to God’s talk? Is there any area where duplicity or hypocrisy may result in God’s discipline in your life?

Cruzando barreras con el evangelio (Segunda Parte) | Hechos 8-10

June 14, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Cada cultura tiene sus líneas divisorias: las personas que evitamos, los espacios a los que no entramos, las suposiciones que nunca cuestionamos. Pero el evangelio se niega a quedarse a un lado de la línea. En Hechos, Dios impulsa a su pueblo más allá de su zona de confort y a lugares a los que jamás habrían ido por sí mismos. Porque la misión de Dios no tiene fronteras.

Crossing Barriers with the Gospel (Part II) | Acts 8-10

June 14, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Every culture has its dividing lines—the people we avoid, the spaces we don’t enter, the assumptions we never challenge. But the gospel refuses to stay on one side of the line. In Acts, God pushes His people beyond their comfort zones and into places they never would have gone on their own. Because the mission of God has no borders.
