The call of God to Moses took lots of time because Moses had so many questions for God. Most of them revolved around the question ‘you want me to do what?!?‘ You too may wonder how this idea of call works itself out in the “real world.” How do we specifically find our place? What happens as a result of the work we do for God? God’s call is often met with objections.
One thing is assured though − God has a specific plan for you and it’s built on a certain foundation. That foundation is Jesus Christ. So when assessing the open door in front of you, it’s wise to ask how it relates to spreading the word about Jesus. That is God’s call and you can’t go wrong doing that!
Prepare for Sunday’s message by reading Exodus 4:10-17, 27-31.

On January 9, 2010, we welcomed Pastor Ginger Hertenstein as the permanent pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Duncanville. A very inspirational installation service was held in the Sanctuary at 3:00 pm, followed by a reception in the Fellowship Hall. Ginger has served our church for the past 18 months as Temporary Stated Supply. Through much prayer and perseverance by our congregation, and with cooperation and support by Grace Presbytery, we were able to keep her here as our permanently installed pastor. Among her many gifts and talents, Pastor Ginger has shown exemplary leadership skills, and has encouraged us to “expect miracles” at First Presbyterian Church. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful ministry together with her.

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Shakespeare certainly understood the power of a name in his tale, “Romeo and Juliet.” The two family names in that story were so strong that even love and “will” could not overcome the divide.
Names in the Bible show character and purpose. When Moses encounters God at the burning bush, Moses asks, “What is your name?” God’s answer reveals a whole lot about God. God says, “My name means I AM always present with you, just as I was with the people before you.” God adds, “I’ve come to set you free and lead you to hope!” That’s the message of this week’s Scripture. Join us as we discover we are forever God’s and forever free.
Read Exodus 3:13-22. See you Sunday at 10:30!
