The Laws for the Land
Numbers, Chapter 35 and 36. We reached the end of our series on the Book of numbers. We’ve been taking, as it were, a 10,000 foot view over the whole book. This morning we are going to cover the issue of murder and inheritance, as well as connecting all the dots of the whole book as it relates to the person work of Jesus. So if you’re visiting, buckle up. To…
Going Forward by Looking Back
What’s in an Inheritance?
Continuing moving through the Book of numbers, where chapters 31 and 32 are almost near the end of our series. Today we are looking, as Israel sits across still from the promised land, a victory they have over the nation of Midian, followed by a change in some of the tribes desire for their inheritance. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you join me in…
Getting Jesus Right
John 10. Last week, Pentecost Sunday, we looked at the work of the Holy Spirit as he empowers us to bring the message of Christ as the mission of the Church. And today we continue to look then on Trinity Sunday at an aspect of that core belief in the divinity of Christ. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you would join me in prayer. Father, indeed, you are…
Brought Together in Christ
Genesis 11, we’ll take a break from our series on numbers in honor of Pentecost. Pentecost was the Old Testament feast of weeks. 50 days after the Passover, they celebrated the in gathering of the harvest. And for Christians, it is the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples for the in gathering of the harvest of the nations for Christ. And…
I Will Bless You
Remain standing for the reading of God’s Word. The account of Balaam and his donkey is probably one of the better known stories in the Bible. And through it, we see God’s commitment to bless his people. So we look to the reading of God’s Word if you join me in prayer. Our Father, Majesty and bound, worthy of all worship, and you Christ, are the King of…
A Pair of Scandals
Numbers 21. If you’re visiting with us, we are working our way through this often neglected part of Scripture, connecting biblical dots along the way. This morning we are confronted with a pair of scandals, a sign of the serpent as a means of salvation, healing, and a seeming injustice in dealing with the enemies of God. As we look to the reading God’s Word,…
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Numbers 20 come to the low point of the wilderness wandering. Catastury comes to all three of Israel’s great leaders, and the look for mercy never shows up. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you would join me in prayer. Most gracious God, our heavenly father, in you alone dwells all the fullness of light and wisdom. We ask then that by your Spirit,…
Providing Access to Worship
Numbers 18 and 19. Together, these two chapters answer the question asked by the people in Chapter 7, how is it possible for an unholy people to come before a holy God through the provision of priest and purification? We look to the reading of God’s Word if you join me in prayer. Father God, indeed, we ask by your Holy Spirit that you would open our minds that as…
The Power of the Resurrection
Luke 24, The shadows and darkness of Good Friday gave way through the brightness of Easter morning. The grave could not hold him. Death has been swallowed up in victory. He is risen indeed. If you join me in prayer for the reading of God’s Word. Father of all mercies, in your Word endless glory shine forth. And we ask that you would reveal to us this day by the…
