What can I do when I face scary new things? What if I feel lost?

This summer and early fall as a church we are getting an overview tour of the first 5 books of the Bible — called the Torah, Pentateuch, or “The Law”. We began, fittingly, with the book of Genesis. The vast majority of Genesis is dedicated to God working in the messiness of people’s lives and the world they live in. We then moved into the second book of the Bible — Exodus. God delivered his people from slavery and made them a covenant community. Next came the book of Leviticus — where God demonstrates both the need to be holy and his commitment to be the one who makes us holy.

Now we have arrived at the book of Numbers where the people are brought to the edge of the promised land — have they learned the lessons of trusting in God? Who will they look to to save them?

In the Pentateuch we see God take decisive action, demonstrate his care, and point to his future deliverance in Jesus Christ. We pray that Sunday messages will encourage our hearts today and help us to grow.
