It's called The Book of Numbers, and it's all about being in the wilderness. You guys excited? You ready? I'm going to paint a picture for you. In this sermon this morning. And we're going to be painting a picture on the imagination. God uses the imagination. It's a place where the things that are invisible, God speaks to us, that we can then imaginatively realize.

I want you to take a census. And and really, what God is building is an army. And so numbers. Why did God spend so much time? This is going to be in the Word of God, read by people for thousands of years, and people that are not alive anymore that we don't know. Why would God include their names?
