What the Lord teaches us in the book of Numbers.

The Missions Team to El Rancho Del Rey share with the congregation about their experience and what the Lord did in and through them.

Teaching and dialogue on evangelism in our world today.

Israel lived in the wilderness for 40 years. Through it all the Lord was with them. Christ was their Rock through all of the storms and trials and He is with us also when we are in the wilderness.

Caleb had a different spirit, and because of this, God was going to bring him into the land so that he could possess his inheritance. Disobedience cost Israel their blessing and inheritance. Many Christians don't enter in because of their spirit. We need Caleb's spirit.

God has promises that we as Christians need to take hold of. Just as Jabez prayed in 1 Chronicles 4:10, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm[a] so that it might not bring me pain!” God granted his request and he will grant our requests as we cry out to Him. The Lord blesses us so that we can be a blessing.

In the middle of crisis we need to rely on the Lord and not ourselves. He strengthens us through the battle and comforts us in our struggle. It is the Lord and not us because all of the power comes from Him and He is made strong in our weakness.

It is so prevalent in our society, however we rarely speak about it in church. What does God say about sex and sexuality? We as believers need to know what God's word clearly says. The Old and New Testament reveals God's heart about sex that was as relevant 3500 years ago as it is today.

It seems that many Christians have let the fire that they had when they gave their heart and life to Jesus Christ burn down to where it’s nothing but a small coal of the fire that we should have. When we as believers allow this to happen, our churches can’t help but become places where there is no fire for the Lord. We must rekindle the fire for the Lord and never let it go out.
