Numbers: A Pilgrim People (Page 2)
The Demands of Our God Bring Life
Conselor Christ has sent, lead us in the path of your commandments and in the ancient way of your will. Through Christ Jesus, our Savior, we pray, Amen. Selection from numbers 15, this is the word of the Lord. The Lord spoke to Moses saying, Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, when you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you, and you offer…
The Lament of God
God’s Word. Book of numbers 13 and 14. From Egypt now, through the wilderness, through the very southern edge of the promised land, Israel sits, as it were, like a rocket on the launchpad. You can hear the familiar words, at least in our movies. Houston, we have primary ignition and the rockets are roaring. The smoke and the steam are billowing out and that rocket…
Sibling Rivalry
Numbers 12, the grumbling and complaining of the crowds in the people of Israel have given way to now the leadership grumbling and complaining as well. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, you would join me in prayer. Christ our God, we ask you to set our hearts on fire with love through your Word, that in its flame we may love you with all of our hearts, with…
Grumblings
Numbers 11. I had grand intentions of covering Chapter 12, but next week. N umbers 11, we’ve so far come to some smooth sailing for israel, and now we hit some turbulent seas ahead of us in the response to what God is doing. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you’d please join me in prayer. Father of all mercy, in Your Word endless glory shine…
Follow Me
As we prepare to read the word of God, let’s go before him in prayer. Father, the desire that our hearts would be warmed, our affections would be changed such that we would pray even as the Psalmist prays. Remember your word to your servant in which you have made me hope. This is my comfort and my affliction that your promise gives me life. The insolent utterly…
Only a Holy God
Before we do that, let’s go to him in prayer. Father, we come before your throne and before your word, a distracted people. We are distracted by many things, the busyness of the week that has passed and all that we feel we have left undone. We’re distracted by the events of the week to come, things we anticipate and perhaps things we dread. And many of us are…
Set Apart for Blessing
Number six, begins with another curiosity for modern readers, the Nazareth vow. How does this fit into the flow of numbers? Then Chapter 6 ends with a very familiar blessing to us, the blessing of Aaron. As we look through the reading of God’s Word, though, if you’d please join me in prayer. Our Father, Majesty and Bounded, worthy of all worship, and you,…
Messy Lives Maintaining Order
Numbers. Chapter five. Israel is about to set off on March and they are given three case studies to apply to help them maintain their order as we look through the reading of God’s word. If you would join me in prayer. Heavenly Father, as we come before you this day, as we meet in your presence, we ask that you would open our ears to hear your voice, to open our…
Guarding the Presence of God
Please remain standing for the reading of God’s Word. We are in numbers three, continuing through this new series, looking at rather large section of chapters three to four, basically looking at who are these Levi’s and why are they having so much fun? I hope, in a way, that a bunch of docs will be connected, connected for us, that we understand numbers fits…
After the Wedding
A new series looking at God’s people living between the Exodus and the Promised Land. It is indeed a large book, 36 chapters at times. We’re going to cover ground more quickly, a few chapters at a time, and then we will be slowing down as well as we look through the reading God’s Word. If you would join me in prayer. Blessed Lord, you have. Must all holy…
