God continues to encourage Moses, and us.
What happens next? How do the hearers react?
I had a happy childhood but none of the family thought about God at all. At 17 I was asked out by a Christian guy. As we got to know each other he tried to talk to me about God but I really wasn’t interested, in fact I began to get angry when he suggested that all was not well between God and me. I just didn’t want to think about it.
Being dragged (almost literally!) into church was odd. I quite enjoyed the service! From there I began to consider God’s claims on my life but after a few weeks decided that following Christ was too big a step and not for me. However, God had other ideas! During an afternoon chat I suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to get down on my knees. I fought tooth and nail – but lost. David prayed over me and suddenly – I guess I’m a Christian.
I found myself wanting to read the Bible and pray, neither of which I’d had any interest in before. It was about 3 months later, going to church and learning about this God who had called me to himself that I began to realise that sin is a complete barrier between God and human beings. My life was outwardly respectable but inside it was always me first and the Bible calls that sin.
That was 40 years ago and God has been beside me all the way since. In the inevitable difficult times it’s been so good to know that I can trust him, that nothing happens just by blind chance. I have a prayer answering God who loves me.

How do you measure success in life?
If you are Boris Johnson that might be a difficult one to answer.
Most of us like him, probably have some positives in life and some negatives.
But how does God view success in life?
The Puritans of England and Scotland produced a catechism in 1645 and the very first question they posed was – “What is the chief end of man?”
In other words what makes to a successful life? Is it Wealth, Fame, Exploits in a time of war or in a time of peace.
They set their answer in the light not of this world but of God’s world.
The answer they gave was:-
Man’s chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy Him [God] forever.
Now many of us can quote this but how many have ever thought about the answer?

What is a church?
A church is not a building. It is not a denomination or organisation and it is not just a gathering of people.
It is however a gathering of a group of special people who are called Christians. They are people who love Jesus, believe that Jesus died for them on the Cross at Calvary. Who believe that Jesus died paying for all their sins, as a sacrifice to God the Father, so that Heaven is open to them. They are also a people who follow Jesus and seek to serve Him with their lives on earth.
Whenever God’s people meet then Church happens. A building is not required, what is required is a heart to worship God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit together.
Matthew chapter 18 verse 20.
