Sermon Summary:

In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Stacie Rodgers reminds us that God has not forgotten His people. Even when we feel overlooked, delayed, or burdened by the weight of life, we are still seen, heard, and deeply known by God.

The message opens with a reflection on Israel’s bondage in Egypt—a time when they were numerous but oppressed. It seemed like God was silent. But Pastor Stacie brings our attention to Exodus 3:7, where God declares that He has seen, heard, and knows the sorrows of His people. This is not just a distant observation; it's a deeply personal and intentional awareness.

We are reminded through the life of Moses that timing is everything. God’s plan for deliverance had many moving parts: the rise of Israel in Egypt, the birth of Moses, his journey through the palace and the wilderness—then God called him. Moses’ life was a divine puzzle piece. So is yours.

Whenever you find yourself asking “Why?”, Pastor Stacie encourages you to remember: God has a plan. His thoughts are higher, and His timing is perfect—even when it feels delayed. Just like an archaeologist handles fragile artifacts with care, God is delicately and purposefully shaping you for His glory. You are chosen for such a time as this.

Listener Notes & Takeaways:

• God sees and hears you. Your cries have not gone unnoticed (Exodus 3:7).
• Every step of your journey is part of the plan. Moses wasn’t called by accident—his life was intentional.
• Delay is not denial. God’s timing often looks different from ours (Isaiah 55:8).
• You are chosen. Reactivate your confidence in God’s calling.
• Go through it armed this time. You’re not the same person you were before.
• Affirmation: “God didn’t make a mistake choosing me.”

Pastor Stacie ends with a powerful reminder to walk boldly in your calling, knowing that God has not forgotten you. Like Moses, you’ve been chosen for a divine assignment. Don’t shrink back—step up and show God He was right when He called your name.

Tune in, take notes, and get ready to walk in your purpose—armed this time.
