Introduction:
I got bit by a big ol’ king snake (consequence)
Dad: “Sometimes you can only do one thing at a time Pat.”
Big Idea: We are one CONVERSATION away from changing the course of our lives.
Scripture
Exodus 18:7
1. Direction flows through Relationship
LOOK AT THE CAMERA
Explain
This passages gives us great insight into the kind of relationship that Moses had with Jethro
: Moses meets Jethro (priest)
Moses tells Jethro everything…
the hardships they faced.. (don’t shy away from hard parts)
God’s rescue...
This conversation just confirmed what Jethro was beginning to understand that Yahweh was God
Jethro became a believer
Story: When I met my wife...
Every conversation confirmed what my heart was feeling
LOOK AT THE CAMERA
I bet Jethro didn’t know that his life would change meeting Moses… but I also think that Moses didn’t know that Jethro would be instrumental in the leading of God’s people either...
Exodus 18:
2. Wisdom is gained by CONSEQUENCE and CONVERSATION
LOOK AT THE CAMERA
Explain
The next day Moses is judging the people day and night.
Why?
Maybe he’s using an Egyptian model of leadership
Maybe he feels like he’s the ONLY one that can do the job
Moses was feeling the consequences…Now Jethro would start the conversation
Obey my voice…I’ll give you some advice...
1000, 100, 50 and 10’s
Who are your Jethro’s (List them)
LOOK AT THE CAMERA>>>
Story: I’ll fire you myself...
Tarah: I’m not on your calendar
Duke: I’ll fire you myself
Story
Apply: The Path to Wisdom
Be Present: Don’t be distracted
Be Humble:
Recognize you don’t have ALL the answers
Ask for help
Be Willing:
Are you willing to FIND a Jethro?
Are you willing to BE a Jethro?
Conclusion: Joel: You haven’t failed enough
We are one conversation away from changing our lives
Some of us may be scared that because we have failed or made mistakes that we can’t connect with God.
Some of us may be scared that because we have failed or made mistakes that we can’t connect with God.
The good news of Jesus is that He died so that you and I could actually respond to the voice of our Heavenly Father.
He died on the cross so that there would be nothing in the way of you and I knowing His love and experiencing His glory
