    In week 10 of our In the Wilderness series Lee Woodmansee walks us through Numbers 26 and 27. In this pivotal chapter the people of Israel are numbering the new, faithful, generation that will inherit the Promised Land. Intermingled among the census are three examples of Israel's history that remind us of the dire consequences of our sin. However, that is not the end of the story. Key questions that are considered are: Where are we in the narrative? What is so special about this census? What's the deal with the daughters of Zelophead? What is significant about Joshua's designation as the new leader of Israel? What does all of this have to do with us?

    In week 9 of our march through In The Wilderness Lee Woodmansee dissects Numbers 22-24. The most famous portion of this passage is the episode of Balaam's donkey speaking to him, but there is far more to this story than that episode. Lee takes some time to address each of the major portions of this story by asking some basic questions. Where are we in the narrative? Why was God angry with Balaam for going to Balak after he already gave him permission to go? What does the talking donkey say to us today? What exactly did God give to Balaam to say? What does this have to do with us?

    In Week 8 of In The Wilderness Alex Hopper tackles chapter 21 of the book of Numbers. Alex is a student leader at the BCM who brings insight into the discussion around how the transitional generation of Numbers 20-26 is working out their faithlessness and working in their faithfulness. By looking at Numbers 21, Alex reveals that God's means of punishment for our sin was also his means of salvation. Major questions considered are: Why was Israel impatient? Why did God choose to send serpents into the camp as his judgement? Why was the Bronze Serpent as a means of healing effective? What does all of this have to do with us?

Major questions that are posed and then answered are: Where are we in the narrative? Who is Miriam and why does she matter? What has Israel learned in the last 40 years? Why do we see the same failures reoccur? What is the new development in the scene of Numbers 20? What happens as a result of Moses' and Aaron's disobedience?

    In week 6 of our In the Wilderness series Lee Woodmansee addresses the issue of why there are occasional segments of ceremonial law sprinkled in among the larger narrative portions. By looking at Numbers 15 Lee discusses what is meant by intentional and unintentional sins, how the sabbath breaker illustrates what intentional sin looks like, and what tassels have to do with any of this. Questions that are considered during the message are: Where are we in the narrative? Are there different kinds of sins? How is the death penalty for gathering sticks justified? What hope would Israel have to be saved from God's justice? Are the location and color of the tassels essential? What does this have to do with us?

What is Israel's first interaction with the Land like? What did the 10 spies report? What did the other 2 spies report? What happened as a result of the bad report? What does this have to do with us?
