The Book of Numbers: Look and Live

The Lord was ready to bring Israel into the Promised Land in just eighteen months. Instead, it took forty years. Is your own "wilderness wandering" a result of geography, or is it a matter of the heart? Summary: In this episode, we dive into the Book of Numbers. We move past the genealogies to uncover the spiritual friction that keeps us from moving forward. We analyze the pivotal moments where faith collided with fear and learn how to speed up the clock on our own spiritual progress. The Timetable of Faith: We discuss how our activities or procrastinations can "slow the hands of the clock" on God’s promises. The Report of the Spies: We contrast the "grasshopper complex" of the ten spies with the "mountain-moving faith" of Joshua and Caleb. The Brazen Serpent: We explore the profound simplicity of "looking to live" and why we sometimes refuse the easiest cures offered by the Savior. Miriam and Aaron’s Murmuring: We look at the dangers of "steadying the ark" and questioning local and prophetic leadership. The Daughters of Zelophehad: We conclude with the beautiful balance of agency and order found at the end of the book, proving that the "Number" God cares most about is the individual soul. Call-to-Action: Are you currently in a "Caleb" season of faith or a "Grasshopper" season of fear? What is one "giant" in your way that you are ready to overcome with the Lord’s help?
