Jan 11 worship starts at 9:30 am, followed by Sunday School. Join us for this weeks message: Thats Why They Call it the Desert! (Numbers 11-4-18). THE BIG IDEA: To explore the spiritual significance of the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites under the leadership of Moses. It started with an aged husband and wife (Abraham & Sarah) and the promise that they would become a great nation. The descendants of Abraham now number in the hundreds of thousands, and they have endured generations of slavery in Egypt. Under the leadership of Moses, the people leave Egypt and move toward the land of promise. But this difficult desert journey will last forty years. As we watch Moses lead the people of Israel in the desert, it becomes clear that God desires to be trusted. After experiencing generations of slavery in Egypt, they resemble a disorganized mob eager to complain and swift to return to idol worship. In the desert, they must learn to trust God. This sermon will explore the era of the wilderness wanderings through focusing on one incident that happened in the desert. Life in the desert is always challenging, but it provides one of the best places for faith to grow. A journey through the desert is a journey of trust.
