Big Idea - The nation has repeatedly fallen into sin and they deserve to be destroyed completely by God - that is what full justice would bring upon them. But, instead of justice, they receive mercy and God repeatedly makes a way for the atoning of their sin, which turns away His great and deserve wrath. God’s plan to bless them will not fail, and with atonement This passage begins a new and final...

Big Idea - What exactly is the blessing of God and how can we receive the fulness of His blessings in our lives? In modern times we may not think about the power of blessing or cursing like they did in the past when people were not so scientific. In ancient times, a spoken blessing or curse was considered to have power that would come true, even more so if spoken by one with a gift for such things...

Big Idea - In the account of Balaam and Balak, the question is raised as to how God blesses or curses. Balak is convinced God can be paid off to do the bidding of kings. Balaam has better theology and knows that God cannot be bought, but his understanding of God also falls short in that he thinks God might easily change His mind as people do. We may have other ideas about how God blesses based on...

Big Idea - The people had finally come to understand that sin and holiness cannot mix - like touching a high voltage wire So, how can God possibly live in their midst and not completely destroy them! God made two provisions to protect the people from His holy wrath. The first was the ministry of the Priests and Levites. It was their responsibility to stand between sinful people and the holiness of...

Big Idea - What happens when we really blow it? When we let fear and our flesh control us, instead of God's Word and His Spirit? Because of God’s marvelous grace, nothing can prevent God from fulfilling all His plans and promises, not even our worst failures. But there are serious consequences for sin and a defiant attitude. Jesus paid the price for our sins, and even for our rebellious hearts tha...

Big Idea - A quick search of the Internet and we discover that people like to complain. One site states that everyone complains - at least 15-30 times per day! Internet experts are also divided if this is really a bad thing or not. Most would say that complaining all the time is bad, but some suggest that complaining sometimes is necessary or even healthy. The Bible would agree that complaining is...

Big Idea - Why do Church? What is the point? What should the Church be focused on - what is her main focus of ministry? Evangelism? To help people get saved? Making disciples? Helping the poor - Social justice? Buildings? Programs? Worship - the glory of God? The Church should above all else be involved in helping people draw near to God and experience His presence through the Ministry of the Word...

Big Idea - God is holy and if He is to dwell in the midst of the people, they too must be holy. God gives extensive laws to make sure the camp is a holy place. God guards His holiness through the Priests and Levites as well so that the people are not destroyed. Then, it seems quite randomly, God blesses the people. How are we to understand the holiness of God, the law that guards His holiness, and...

Big Idea - What does it mean for God to be with us, to be in the camp, or to dwell in our heart, and how are we to respond to His presence with us? God is with us as the very center of our life. God is rightly the the center of everything but in our sinful rebellion we have put ourselves in the center and God in the remote fringes of the universe. But God chose Abraham and his descendents to be Hi...
