God, I’m Available | Answering the Call to Be Used by God

In this heartfelt and transparent message, Pastor James shares his personal journey of answering God’s call and encourages everyone to do the same. Drawing from the life of Moses in Exodus 3–4, this sermon reminds us that God isn’t asking for your ability—He’s asking for your availability. Whether you feel unqualified, insecure, or unsure, this message shows how saying “Yes” to God opens the door to purpose, peace, and power. Discover how to hear God’s voice, walk in obedience, and experience the comfort of God’s presence as you step into His plan for your life.

Key Takeaways:

  • God calls everyone: To salvation, to service, and to spiritual preparation.
  • Your calling begins with availability: God doesn’t need your ability—He gives you what you need when you say “Yes.”
  • The comfort of the calling is God's presence: “I will certainly be with you” (Exodus 3:12).
  • Excuses are normal—but don’t let them stop you: Like Moses, many of us say “I can’t speak, I’m not good enough,” but God says, “I made your mouth.”
  • God uses ordinary things for extraordinary purposes: Moses had a staff; you have gifts, skills, and influence God wants to use.
  • There’s a cost to rebellion: Rejecting God’s call results in loss of protection, provision, and peace.
  • Respect authority as part of your calling: Submission to godly authority (like Jethro’s blessing for Moses) is a biblical principle that leads to favor.
  • Obedience affects your family too: When you follow God, your family walks into blessing; when you rebel, they may experience the consequences.
  • Pain is part of preparation: You can only grow spiritually to the level of pain you're able to endure.
  • God uses your past and weaknesses to train you for future influence: Preparation is part of the calling.
