The Passage

Numbers 14:10-20

The One Thing

Prayer is our action

Know 

  • K1 The Israelites in Numbers 14 teach us that “Bad attitudes are infectious”. Are you someone who is more easily infected by other’s bad attitudes or who infects others with your bad attitude?

  • G1 What did you think of the pole analogy: that each end of the pole is clear (one end is God’s action, the other end is our action), but the middle of the pole (where God's sovereignty and human agency meet) is mysterious? 
  • G2 How do you make sense of Number 14:20 where God says to Moses “I have forgiven them as you asked”. How can this encourage us to pray with boldness and faith? 
  • G3 Dan presented 3 options to explain what happened: a) God changed his mind b) God didn’t really mean He was going to destroy the Israelites b) God foreknew that He would threaten to destroy the Israelites but would relent because of Moses’ prayer. Which do you think makes best sense of the evidence? 
  • G4 Dan said that when we’re faced with the mystery of God, we pray His character that He’s already revealed. Do you think this is wise advice? Why or why not? 
  • G5 Dan said that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the One who represents the Mystery of God to us as humans AND He is the image of humanity, the One who represents us in perfection to God, through interceding for us. Thank Jesus for occupying this middle ground and bringing God and humankind together.
