Is the God of the Old Testament a violent or bloody God? Is He different from the God of the New Testament? This sermon looks at these questions in the context of the zeal of Phinehas in Numbers 25. 

"Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 'Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal." Numbers 25:10-11
