Sermon Illustrations
You're Not God
During Sunday school, our pastor, who was teaching the adult class, selected a middle-aged couple to act out the burning bush scene from the Old Testament. The husband was asked to supply the voice for God and his wife would read Moses' lines.
All went well until they got to verse 15. The wife, as Moses, mistook her husband's dialogue for her own and read, "Say to the Israelites, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers--'"
The pastor interrupted her. "Wait a minute. You're not God."
Without missing a beat, her husband deadpanned, "I've been trying to tell her that for 18 years."
