Sunday School Remix: Why Did God Call Moses?

May 29, 2026    Nate Preisinger

What if the story of Moses and the burning bush is not about Moses being brave, but about God calling someone who was unsure, reluctant, and full of questions? In this episode of Sunday School Remix, Pastor Nate looks at Exodus 3 and 4 and explores how God meets Moses in the wilderness, hears the suffering of the people, and works with what Moses already has.

What You’ll Learn:

Why Moses’ call begins with God hearing human suffering

What the burning bush shows us about mystery, doubt, and holy ground

Why God’s name, “I am who I am,” still invites wonder

How God uses ordinary gifts for holy work

Why reluctance does not disqualify anyone from being called
