Turn with me in your Bibles to Psalm 72. Let me just remind you that at the time of the response at the end of the service, after the benediction, that we’ll sing the last stanza of that arrangement of Psalm 72. You will have noticed that everything we've sung tonight, except for the word before the Children's Devotional, is related to Psalm 72. We sang at the beginning of the service, Hail to the Lord's Anointed, which is four stanzas of–I don't know, about twelve or thirteen stanzas of James Montgomery's great hymn based upon Psalm 72.

First of all, that God’s call to serve him, isn’t always easy. His call to…

I AM Who I AM

I Am Who I AmExodus 3:13-22 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, chapter 3. When last we were together, God had revealed Himself in this manifestation of the burning bush to Moses, and had announced to him His intentions to make him His spokesman to Pharaoh and His leader for Israel. Moses has already met the Lord with one question. Who am I to do this? What qualifications do I have to do this, Lord? Are you sure that you have the right person? And now we will begin in the rest of the story in Exodus, chapter 3, beginning in verse 13. This is God’s holy word: “Then Moses said to God, ‘Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you.” Now they may say to me, “What is…
