What's in your hand....

I started a new sermon series entitled' What's in your....'

This week was 'What's in your hand?'


Here are some of the points to the sermon
What was in Moses hand? (Exodus 4)
Moses had a staff. That Staff represented his Identity (shepherd)
God wants to use your experiences and expertise to build the kingdom.
We have to be careful not to run from our spiritual gift and calling (God told Moses to threw his staff to the ground and it turn to a snake and moses ran)
We have to do God's work God's way (God told Moses to grab the snake by the tail...generally not a great idea but when Moses listened to God the snake turned back into the staff)
What was in David's hand? (1 Samuel 17)
David had a Slingshot. The slingshot represented Faith and Faithfulness.
Faith because it took boldness and faith in God for David to defeat Goliath
Faithfulness because I believe David learned how to effectively use the slingshot while being faithful to his responsibilities as the family shepherd. I believed he practiced using the slingshot 'In the dark' by himself which helped get the victory 'in the lights' in front of everyone.
I also spoke about other people about I want to keep it short today.

Also know this when you give God wants in your hand in obedience and faith he opens his hand in blessings. God can use common things and people and produce uncommon results.
Moses used the staff for God and his identity was changed from shepherd fugitive who worked for his father in law to a deliverer and hero in the faith.
David used his slingshot for God and never went back home to be neglected and disrespected by his family again, the next time is family saw him is when there were looking for his help (he also didn't have to pay taxes again, married the king's daughter and wind up being the king but you know the story)

Alright guys have great day.
