Danny opened Part 2 of his “God Wants to Use You” series by celebrating the rare occasion of having all his children in the same service, then quickly situated the message within last week’s theme that God turns ordinary people into extraordinary servants. From there, he zeroed in on Moses as a case study in Hebrews 11 : 23-27, extracting four foundational decisions every believer must make if they want God to work through them.

1. Identify your identity
   • Moses, born a Hebrew slave yet raised in Pharaoh’s palace, faced a pivotal choice: live a lie as Egyptian royalty or embrace his God-given heritage with Israel’s oppressed.
   • Danny highlighted Psalm 139 : 16 and Ephesians 2 : 10 to argue that success is simply being who God handcrafted you to be; reshaping yourself into someone else always backfires.
   • He emphasized that Moses “refused” the palace title, illustrating how refusal (negative) must be matched by purpose-filled choice (positive).

2. Accept responsibility
   • “Life isn’t fair, but maturity means owning your future,” Danny said, rejecting America’s victim culture.
   • Moses “chose to be mistreated” with God’s people, proving that destiny is forged by deliberate decisions, not circumstances.
   • Danny pressed the congregation: “You’re as close to God right now as you choose to be.” He cited Romans 14 : 12 to remind listeners that each person answers for themselves.

3. Determine your priorities
   • Moses weighed Egypt’s prestige, pleasure, and possessions against eternal rewards and judged the latter “of greater value.”
   • Danny unpacked the world’s three-pronged value system—status, sensual pleasure, and stuff—then contrasted it with Moses’ counter-values: God’s purpose over popularity, God’s people over temporary pleasure, and God’s peace over material treasure.
   • He teased an upcoming eight-week series on “Values That Last,” encouraging families to draft written value statements before that study begins.

4. Choose your authority
   • Quoting Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” and Jesus’ warning about two masters, Danny insisted that everyone ultimately bows to either God or lesser gods.
   • Moses “persevered because he saw Him who is invisible,” demonstrating a life lived for an audience of One even when Pharaoh—the most powerful earthly authority—stood opposed.
   • Danny challenged worshipers to settle who would be CEO of their lives, warning that straddling the fence is spiritual sabotage.

Illustrations and rhetorical flourishes
• He revisited the Joshua/Elijah-style challenge: “How long will you waver between two opinions?” and echoed Joshua 24 : 15—“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
• An earlier communion meditation recounted Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor’s self-sacrifice to foreshadow Christ and prime hearts for the sermon’s call to costly discipleship.
• Danny wove in Psalm 139’s intimacy, Romans 10’s accountability, and practical maxims like “You can have the kicks, but then you get the kickback.”

Invitation and application
He closed by urging immediate action: accept Christ’s sacrifice if you haven’t, plant roots in a church home, and deploy your gifts in tangible ministry—whether at work, school, or home. Framing the invitation hymn as Christ personally saying “I want you on My team,” Danny drew a metaphorical line in the sand, inviting listeners to step across, surrender all, and let God leverage their lives for kingdom impact.
