“When Forty Years Had Passed”

 (ID: 3767)

After failing in his first attempt as Israel’s deliverer, Moses spent the next forty years living the routine life of a shepherd. During these “silent” years, God was preparing Moses to shepherd His people. In this study in Exodus 3, Alistair Begg walks us through God’s appearance in the burning bush, His assurance of His sovereignty, and His assignment for Moses. Whether our lives seem out of control or stuck in humdrum routines, God is still in charge, and His promises remain trustworthy.
