As Christians, we understand the reality that God has appointed every aspect of our lives; such as who we are, when we exist, where we live, and what we do. Despite this cognitive understanding, we also live in a fallen world that demands much of us. In our little pocket of Orlando, it's possible that we may get distracted by performance, comforts, and overall success -- that we fail to remember that our work and our lives carry an eternal significance. When we forget the eternal significance of every aspect of our lives, it becomes easier to fall victim to discontentment in our lives and dissatisfaction with God.

In Numbers 16, we find several influential figures in the camp, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, who are discontent with their lives. They believe the leadership of Moses and Aaron is failing the people and that a change is necessary. From making theological arguments to pointing out the failures of Moses and Aaron, these rebels feel justified in and empowered to form an uprising that goes against God's plan for the people. They disregard God's systems, they disregard God's leaders, they disregard recent history, and the results are disastrous.

Join us Sunday as we look at the roots of this rebellion, examine how those roots often exist in our own heart, and explore the only hope available to those who daily rebel against God's plan for their lives.
