Welcome to Hamilton Central Baptist Church! This is the seventh sermon in the Heading For The Promised Land teaching series.REFLECTION:Numbers 13Gaining an insight into the storyWhat is your impressions of this story?Why do you think this story is recorded in scripture?Why do you think God asked 12 to go and check out the land?Do the percentages of a 10/2 sound about right to you? – Why?Giants• What are the giants in your life that could defeat you from wholly following Jesus and the pathway to life?• What are the giants that we have faced as a church community over recent times?• What are giants that are still to be faced and how will we do this?Celebrating the Caleb’s and Joshua’s How might we better celebrate Caleb’s and Joshua’s in our church community? One thing is clear God never forgot this defining moment in the nation’s history and both these had significant stories to come. The others all died off in the desert.Defining MomentsShare or consider from your life story – some defining moments that you now see as having a significant ‘turning point’ moment in your spiritual journey. What happened? What did you think happened? What do you now perceive happened?Heart or Head – which comes first?What did you think about the heart of head thought from today’s message? Which comes first? I believe the heart needs to be set firstly and then the head (daily choices and thinking) trimmed and aligned to reach the direction and destination your heart desires. Thinking of scriptures that support this:Look at both Joshua and Caleb from a heart and head perspective – what stands out to you about these two? Are both heart and head present in their report? Where were the 10 others defeated – in their heart or head?What implications does heart and head have for us right now at HCBC?NOTE: This is not a bible study or I would have given you scriptures to look up and answers. These comments and questions are designed to provoke you to reflect on your life journey and the story of Numbers 13. This is where your life intersects with scripture and how you reflect on that for personal growth. Ideally done with other people.
