Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. True power is never found in us.

It belongs to the Lord. Today we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus,

the gospel

one rescue at a time. In this episode, we meet Moses at a moment of weakness, fear, and doubt,

as he wrestles with God's call to confront Pharaoh and lead Israel out of Egypt. But God reminds him

where real power is truly found. To hear more from this series, visit paultrip.com slash exodus. Now here's Paul,

teaching from Exodus 3. Romans 8 says to you and to me that if we're in Christ, we now have

the same power dwelling in us by God's Spirit that raised Christ from the dead.

How mind-boggling is that?

Where the power is found is what our next study is going to be about.

This is Exodus 3, 9 through 12.

And now behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, God speaking,

and I have also seen the impression with which the Egyptians oppressed them. Come, I will send you

to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God,

who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children

of Israel out of Egypt? He said, but I will be with you and this shall be assigned to you

that I have sent you when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God

on this mountain.

When God calls Moses to go to Pharaoh and ask for the freedom of the Israelite slaves,

Moses had a perfectly understandable response.

Like, seriously? This is Bush 6, Lord.
