Today, back in the Book of Numbers, we explore two colorful animals that turn out to be powerful pictures of who Jesus is. These examples, and others, remind us of the importance and turning point in our lives when we look to Him!
Time can fly by! At least that is what seems to happen when we open up to the later part of the book of Numbers and discover that almost 38 years of time disappear in a few short chapters! The larger part of the wilderness wandering are unaccounted for as these years seem to have […]
We’re back in the book of Numbers today! Following their rebellion in chapter 14, God speaks hope to the nation. He declares “WHEN” you enter the land… not “IF.” A setback in our walk with Jesus doesn’t have to be the end of the story! God offers hope and mercy – but we must choose […]
The Israelites spied out the Promised Land in Numbers 13… and the majority of the reports were not positive. Now, in Numbers 14, we see the fallout from these reports and how, even today, we have a tendency to want to turn around rather than press into walking in faith.
What do you see? Simple question but often times it leads to a complex answer. Our eyes are amazing things that help us sort out visual data and yet sometimes our eyes limit us to only see what is right in front of us. Today we explore Numbers 13 and the need to “see” more […]

We often reflect on the “good ol’ days”… and there’s nothing inherently wrong with looking back on the past with fondness. However, as we turn our attention to Numbers 11 today, we discover that sometimes longing for the past leads us into sin in the present.
Fifty days after Jesus rose from the dead, His followers were gathered in an upper room when the Holy Spirit descended upon them. On the day of Pentecost, things changed once again forever. Now the very Spirit of God has come to dwell with us and in us. As we reflect on the great truth […]
It’s Mother’s Day and we’re all asking the same question… “Mom, am I your favorite?” It’s the age-old questions most mothers will never answer.
