The stone builders reject becomes the cornerstone. God is building a temple — and you're not just a wall. You're a priest in it. Click here to read the sermon “A Spiritual House” 1 Peter 2:4–10 As we begin this morning, I want to thank you for hanging out with me for the past few Sundays. It has been a great time here at Yates. It is always a blessing to be with this corner of God's kingdom. A little heads-up on where we are headed in the next few weeks: I will not be here next week — Marty Childers from the Tri-West Association will be preaching that day — and then I will be back for two Sundays after that. I am excited to come back and spend a couple more weeks with you. Some of you already know — I am kind of like a bad penny. I keep coming back. So as we come to this morning, I want to continue a conversation that I have been having with you for the past few weeks. A couple of weeks ago, the point of the sermon was this: if you are a Christian, you are a saint. Sainthood is not a category reserved for an extraordinary group of Christians. Instead, it is a status bestowed by grace, and it is a calling that we pursue. To be a saint is to be a holy one of God. It means that you have been claimed by God and set aside by God for his purposes. So: you are a saint. Last week we continued that conversation to say this — and that is a good thing. Sainthood is not about being a goody two-shoes who never has fun. It is not about hypocrisy. It is not about being holier-than-thou. No — sainthood is about following Jesus into a vision of humanity. It is following Jesus into the people that God intends and calls us to be. You are a saint, and that is a good thing. Today we are going to move to this: we are saints together. If you are called to be a saint, that is not a lone wolf calling. Instead, you were called into a people. You were called into a community. And that communal piece is central to who we are. To talk about this communal dimension of sainthood this morning, I want to open the Bible with you to 1 Peter chapter two, verses four through ten. Let me give you a little backstory on what is going on in 1 Peter. Peter is writing to groups of people in places called Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. These are groups of Christians who are falling on hard times because of their devotion to Jesus. The surrounding communities are not being kind to them; they are suffering for the name of Jesus. Peter writes into this setting. Through much of chapter one, he reminds them who they are and what they are called to. He uses different language, but he hits some of the same beats we have been hitting in the past couple of Sundays. In chapter one, verse fifteen, he says: "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy'" (1 Pet 1:15, NIV). Peter is reminding these people that they have been called to holiness. They are to follow God into that calling — to reflect God to the communities around them. Then you come to chapter two. Peter gives them a few ways this is supposed to happen. In verse one he writes: "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind" (1 Pet 2:1, NIV). If you are going to be holy, there are certain ways of being that you need to put away — ways of living that do not match the kind of life God is calling you to. And notice: Peter is already intimating the communal character. He says rid yourselves of malice, of deceit, of hypocrisy, of envy, of slander. These are all ways of being that destroy community. Put them away. And instead, Peter writes: "like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good" (1 Pet 2:2–3, NIV). Put away the ways of life that are not what God intends for you, and realize that your life of faith is not static. You are meant to grow up in your salvation. You are meant to be nourished by Christ. Which brings us to chapter two, verse four: As you come to him, the living Stone — rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him — you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," and, "A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message — which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Pet 2:4–10, NIV) It is a well-known and beautiful passage of Scripture. This morning I want to approach it not in order, but by taking up the middle first and then jumping back to the beginning to see how these pieces fit together. The middle — verses six through eight — is all about who Jesus is. To understand what is going on here, you need to understand that Christianity emerged in those first decades as an incredible surprise. Jesus came and fulfilled the role of Messiah, but he did it in a way that was unexpected. Come Good Friday, when Jesus dies on the cross, his followers believe the game is up. We had placed our hope in him, and yet he has died at the hands of the authorities. We must have misplaced our hope — until Resurrection Sunday, when we learn that even the grave could not keep Jesus down. He begins to appear to his followers. It turns out that Jesus really was the Messiah. The resurrection proves that. But he fulfilled that role in an unexpected way, which means we have to go back and reconsider everything that came before. It is kind of like one of those movies where a key piece of information is withheld until the very end. And then once that revelation is finally made, the light bulb goes off. You realize that everything has been leading to that point, and you have to go back and reconsider what came before. It is often such a gut punch that you have to watch the movie again, and as you watch it, you begin seeing clues all the way through. You wonder how you did not see it before. Imagine the disciples. Jesus has been raised from the dead. He really is the Messiah. But that means we have to go back and reconsider all of our preconceptions. As they return to the Scriptures, they start seeing those clues. They start saying: we can read this in light of Christ — in light of who he was, in light of who he is. In fact, Jesus himself had applied the Psalm that mentions a cornerstone to himself (cf. Matt 21:42, NIV). And so the disciples say: Jesus applied that to himself. There are other passages that have stones in them. Those seem to apply to Jesus too. What Peter does in this passage is stack all of these passages about stones and apply them to Christ. It goes like this. In verse six: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame" (cf. Isa 28:16, NIV). Then in verse seven: "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone" (cf. Ps 118:22, NIV). And: "A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall" (cf. Isa 8:14, NIV). You can see how these come to be applied to Jesus. Here we have the Messiah who was rejected by the authorities, rejected by the world — and yet it turns out that he was indeed the chosen one of God. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. Notice the imagery Peter is drawing on. You have people building a building. They find a cut stone and say: that stone is not appropriate for our building; we will discard it. But it turns out that God has chosen that very stone to be not just any stone in the building, not just an appropriate stone, but the cornerstone. The cornerstone is the first stone that is laid in a building. It has to be cut perfectly, because it determines which way the building faces. It determines the angle of the walls. It is the first stone that gives shape to everything else. The stone the builders rejected has become the most important stone in the building. That certainly sounds like Christ. And there is also the promise that the one who trusts in this cornerstone God has laid will never be put to shame. That is us. We put our faith in this cornerstone. We will not be put to shame. But then there is also a stone that causes people to stumble — and we keep seeing people in our communities tripping over this message about Jesus. It is a message about rejection that is actually a message about acceptance and chosenness. The world may be rejecting Christ, but in God's eyes, Christ is the cornerstone: rejected, but actually precious and chosen by God. Remember, these are people experiencing rejection as they are true to Christ in the world. The same thing is true of them. Peter will go on to say: you are a chosen nation. This passage is in part about those who feel rejected actually being those who were chosen. Here is what I want you to see this morning. Peter goes a step further. He really plays on this idea of Christ as the cornerstone. The cornerstone is the first stone in the building. And when you zoom out, you start to see that the cornerstone is part of a larger structure. Go back to verse four: "As you come to him, the living Stone — rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him — you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" (1 Pet 2:4–5, NIV). Notice this. Jesus is the cornerstone, the first stone God has laid. And now each and every Christian also becomes a living stone that is built into what is called a spiritual house. That is temple language. The temple is God's special dwelling place on the earth. It does not mean that God is confined to the temple, but this is God's special dwelling. Peter seems to be saying that you have Jesus as this cornerstone, and around Jesus, on Jesus, in tune with Jesus, God is building a temple where he will dwell. You are the people of God. You are God's special dwelling place. Together, you are the spiritual house that God inhabits. You make up the walls of God's temple. And God dwells among you by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the cornerstone. You are a living stone who, with other living stones, is being built into a spiritual house. But you do not just make up the structure. You are not just part of the walls of the temple. You also make up the ministry group within the temple. Peter goes on to say that God is building you up to be a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Not only do you together make up the special dwelling place of God — you are also the priests in God's house. And it is your vocation, both individually and together, to offer up spiritual sacrifices that are pleasing to God through Christ. Spiritual sacrifices has to do with what we do here on Sunday morning. It has to do with proclaiming the deeds of our great God. It also has to do with who we are throughout the week — who we are together, how we pursue this calling of sainthood together. You are part of God's house. You are a minister in God's house. You offer spiritual sacrifices to God. You are a priest. And this is where I want to camp out this morning — this idea of being priests before God. Now this is a place that Baptists love to camp out. How many of you have heard of the priesthood of the believer? We like to hammer home that we do not need a mediator between us and God, because Jesus alone is the mediator between humanity and God. And therefore, as Hebrews says, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence to receive mercy and to find grace (cf. Heb 4:16). So in one sense, we are priests before God. We are able in Christ to approach God without mediation, and we are able to offer sacrifices to God — those spiritual sacrifices we talked about just a moment ago. Priesthood is relationship to God. But here is where I really want to camp out this morning as well. It is not just about our relationship to God. It can also be about our relationship to one another — or maybe we could say it is about our relationship to God with one another. Here, maybe we could talk about sports. Anybody here play golf? Golf is an interesting game because it may be more fun in community — you can go out with other people — but ultimately you do not need anybody else to play golf. Sometimes we think about Christianity like that: it is really just me and God, and maybe sometimes it is more fun when there are other people around, but really I can do this on my own. But what if Christianity is less like golf and more like baseball or soccer? With those kinds of sports, you cannot play by yourself. You can toss the ball up and down, but you really need other people if you are going to play baseball. You can juggle the ball, but you need other people if you are going to play soccer. Christianity — church — is like that. It is a team sport in which we are brought together as the people of God. We approach God together. We serve God together. We pursue God together. It is a communal calling, this priesthood piece. We see this. We come together and we raise our voices together in praise. We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community together. And yes, we do that individually, but there is something special about when the people of God come together as priests who approach God and who, on God's behalf, approach the world. We are priests before God individually. And we are priests with one another. Do you remember last week, how we talked about how the Holy Spirit is bringing about fruit in our lives? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (cf. Gal 5:22–23). We said: these are good things that we want. This is part of the life that God has for us; this is what God is bringing about. What is interesting about those qualities is that so many of them are communal. Yes, they have an individual aspect, but if you are going to love, you are going to love one another. Joy can be individual, but it is so much sweeter when we are joyful together. Peace — because we need peace among one another. Patience — have you met Baptists? Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It is as if God is making us able to be community. God is fitting us to be a certain kind of people. We are priests with one another, which means it matters how we are with one another. There is one more piece of this priesthood that I want you to see. This is something that Baptists sometimes overlook, but it is really important. We are also priests to one another. Now that is not because we need a mediator between us and God. It is because God often chooses to work through people. How many of you have ever experienced a moment where a fellow Christian came alongside you and said the right word at the right time? It was almost like God had sent them to you. It was almost like they said the words that you knew you needed to hear from God. Priesthood can also work like that — where on God's behalf, we do the work, we say the words, we hold one another up. It reminds me of a story in Exodus. When the Israelites were attacked by the Amalekites, Moses sent Joshua and the fighting men down to battle. And it says that as long as Moses stood over that battle and held up his staff, they did well. But when Moses began to lower his arms, they began to lose — which becomes pretty problematic, because you can hold your arms up for a while, but eventually you are going to get tired. The way the story goes is that there were two people with Moses: Aaron and Hur. They realized they needed to help him. They pulled up a stone behind Moses so he could sit down, because even just standing had become too much. And then they stood on either side of him and held up his arms (cf. Exod 17:8–13). The Israelites won the battle that day because Moses held up his hands with that staff — and Moses held up his hands because Aaron and Hur gathered around him and helped him with the task. Sometimes church is like that. Have you ever felt like you have got this thing you have to hold up, but you are just so tired? And sometimes God chooses to work through people — to send them around us, to pull up a chair, to hold up our arms. The sainthood thing is not about being a lone wolf. It is about being called into a people. It is about being called together. Together we become the walls of God's temple. And notice how each stone offers support to the stones around it. Not only are you a member of God's dwelling — you are a priest in that dwelling. You are a priest before God. You are a priest with others. And you have the privilege, at times, of being a priest to one another. Yes, we are called to follow Christ and to become who we are called individually to be. And we are also given the privilege of being called into a people. Works Cited The Holy Bible, New International Version. 2011. Grand Rapids: Biblica. © 2026 Michael Smith. All rights reserved.

This week's message is titled "The Rebellion of Moses & Aaron" Part 6 of our series "Numbers" with Pastor Chris. This book is not about mathematics, but about two generations of Israelites. It maps what was supposed to be an eleven-day journey, but ended up taking forty years. Despite many failures along the way, God was faithful to His promise to His people. Join us as we learn lessons about what to repeat and what not to repeat as we journey through life.
Jenna Wright and Pastor Matt unpack how Leviticus 9's joyful worship and 10's sobering judgment (Nadab & Abihu) belong together. They touch on: • reverent joy vs. casual or stoic worship • sacrifices in Jesus' day & temple context • Moses/Aaron's exchange (10:16–20) and careful obedience • practical steps for relational discipleship Questions welcome for future episodes.

This story is based on Numbers 20. This is a famous incident in which God wants Moses to “speak” to a rock so that Israel will be supplied with water. Instead, Moses strikes the rock. Both Moses and Aaron (his brother) were involved. And, both incurred God's anger and punishment. The punishment was that neither would be allowed to enter Canaan, the Promised Land. As it turns out, though, it seems there was another reason that Moses got into trouble. This time, at least, Israel did nothing wrong. But Moses did. He accused Israel of being rebellious when he was the one being rebellious.

The Bible is full of examples of people being used in-spite of their past. The story of Moses is one of those examples. It reveals that when we present ourselves to God, with a 'here I am" kind of attitude, that God can do amazing things. That he can deal with our past and equip us for a great work. Join us tonight as we look at lessons from Moses.

After translating and publishing The Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith was inspired to embark on a Bible translation project to restore “many plain and precious parts” (see 1 Nephi 13:28) that had been lost throughout time. But how was this work accomplished? How has this translation of Genesis 1:1—Genesis 6:13 been received by early and modern Church members? In this episode, professor of ancient scripture Aaron P. Schade discusses his recent publication The Book of Moses: From the Ancient to the Latter Days, co-authored with Professor Matthew L. Bowen. Professor Schade describes the revelatory translation process, highlights its historicity in the Doctrine and Covenants, and examines how the Book of Moses transcends time and continues to influence Church members today.

In today's episode of OOBT, we pick up with more conversation between God and Moses at that burning bush. Truthfully, the verses covered in Exodus 4 were the literal mic drop moment in the creation of this podcast (and yep… the mic pun was definitely intended there! LOL!). These words are now forever etched in M's mind as confirmation that God has called her to serve as a Bible Study Podcast Host for His glory and the good of others. Really though friends… when God says who made a human's mouth? How does one even begin to argue with that? All of this is a very tender realization as we are now 45 episodes into the podcast God so lovingly placed on M's heart in the pages of her then study in the book of Exodus. She had been working through many things since January of that year BUT this study M started in April 2021 was the clincher to the eventual launch of the Open Our Bibles Together with MFahring podcast in early November of 2021. Amazing. Just amazing. We also dive into the truth that Moses' doubt and questioning would not stop God from fulfilling His promises to His people. The same God who spoke to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was now speaking to the Israelites through Moses, AND He's now speaking of those promises in the past tense. As in, these were a done deal already in God's eyes. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew God as a Promise Maker, but Moses experiences Yahweh as the one who fulfills promises. Promise Keeper. ALWAYS. All this and so much more… please don't miss out on any of it friends! For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/exodus-4-6/

People flex against the authority of Moses & Aaron and pay a high price immediately. Imagine if the people who were guided by the forever president to initiate the attack on Jan 6 had naturally darker skin. It wouldn't take over a year to begin to prosecute people who voluntarily posted their alleged crimes online yet a fraction of the crowd, who have blood on their hands, were even stopped from leaving the scene. Now, in the long awaited Act II you see the theatre of action being taken by a toothless committee rather than actually criminal prosecutions and the same outcome the rioters were attempting to carry out on the seemingly silent congress & VP. Instead there's an intermission by the enabling of mass shootings while pretending to care that the Purge is proceeding. It was little White children who died during Sandy Hook & Columbine; don't expect much action when Uvalde happened. Instead there's projection about violence in Chicago. The same thing will likely be done about guns as it's done about things known to kill and burden the health of society by allowing companies, legacy American monopolies to still sell packs of cancer sticks enhanced to be more addictive, toxic, and deadly; just about nothing. Like I said before, if you really want “Justice” for Jan 6 then it's simple, treat the snake that attempted it, head and tail to the same punishment for treason they chanted as their belief system. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S3-C2-1/ALDE_00001227/ The healthy balance would be keeping tobacco legal but not subsidized and not “enhanced “ . People should still be able to roll up and smoke if they want to but the plant should be purely the leaf only and available at Home Depot in the plant section, along with basil, oregano, and yes marijuana, I have green every green herb. (Genesis 1:30). Now media (modern day scribes) and political powers pretend that more evidence is needed to charge those involved with Jan 6 though the world saw the events of the riot be announced and unfold in real time.
An indepth study of Exodus 7-13, which recounts the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt, from the first plague to the Passover. This lesson focuses on wandering children, lessons from the plagues, unconditional surrender, Passover symbolism, redeeming the firstborn, leaving Egypt, and more. 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Will Wandering Children Return 6:51 Stephen's Story of Moses 24:28 Hearkening to Prophets 33:08 Moses & Aaron against Pharaoh 37:09 Water to Blood 45:44 Letting Our Sins Go 50:05 Frogs & the Consequences of Sin 1:00:24 Lice & Natural Consequences 1:07:51 Flies & Obeying on Our Terms 1:16:33 Cattle & Distinguishing the Righteous from the Wicked 1:19:36 Boils, Pestilence, & Hitting the Heart 1:24:00 Hail & Deciding for Ourselves 1:35:44 Locusts & Last Chances 1:47:11 Darkness & Total Sacrifice 1:52:47 Plundering the Riches of Egypt 2:04:33 The Final Warning 2:10:16 Passover Symbolism 2:22:38 Besting the Gods of Egypt 2:26:55 The Feast of Unleavened Bread 2:36:27 More Passover Instructions 2:40:59 Unconditional Surrender 2:50:14 More Passover Commandments 3:00:49 Redeeming the Firstborn 3:16:02 Leaving Egypt 3:21:34 Conclusion
Reading Numbers 20:1-13 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Moses & Aaron, grieving for Miriam, again deal with the people complaining against them, Moses and Aaron hear from God but lose their faith as they speak deliver the message. They use words that are directed towards their actions and fail to point to God's Holiness. The good things in life can distract us from the goodness of God when we only focus on the blessings. We all fall short. If Moses faltered how much more likely are we to need to grow in our faith. Acting out of anger, frustration, or trying to force it to happen is a lack of faith that God will do what He said He will do.
Jonathan Wright looks at the confrontation between Moses/Aaron and God and looks at how God equipped them for an impossible task.

Scripture: “Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.” Numbers 20:12-13 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/num.20.12-13.NKJV Observations: • Aaron apparently complicit • Sin of unbelief • rather than hallowing the Lord in the congregation's eyes, Moses & Aaron displayed fleshly anger • consequence: neither one would enter the Promised Land • Meribah (means contention/strife/quarrel) Application: • Hero's Fall and there are consequences, Deuteronomy 32:48-52: “Then the Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying: “Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel as a possession; and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people; because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.”” • Hero's fall….yet that's not whole story in Christ, Hebrews 11:24-29 “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.” • check out this article, https://www.gotquestions.org/Moses-promised-land.html Prayer: pray the passage and how the Holy Spirit has convicted you back to the Lord.

Despairing of Thirst | Numbers 20:2-6 Scripture: “Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: “If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord! Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here? And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.” So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them.” Numbers 20:2-6 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/num.20.2-6.NKJV Observations: • No water • thirsty people • whole congregation contended against Moses and Aaron • saying it would have been better to die before the Lord (implying like the rebels?) • longing for Egypt, reminiscing of the bounties of slavery. How tempting it is to live like the world • Moses & Aaron take it to the Lord's Presence Application: James 4:1-3 “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.” 1 John 2:15-17 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Prayer: the direction of God's presence “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalms 16:11 This Podcast is brought to you by FMM: Focusing on the Mark Ministries ~ keep living a Matthew 6:33 live until He comes.

Observations - whole congregation weeping, complaining against leadership, despairing of their lives - a motion made to vote a leader & return to Egypt (which is a type of the world, compromise, and bondage in sin) - Moses & Aaron fall on their faces - Joshua & Caleb, spies, tear their clothes in grieving and admonish the people 1) not to rebel, 2) not to fear, and 3) to remember the Lord is with them: obey. But the congregation proposes stoning them. - The Lord's glory appears in the Tabernacle to all Applications - will of the majority is often wrong - the people enter a business meeting (let's put our heads together), rather than a prayer meeting like in Acts - most weep in despair, 4 it seems weep in grief for the waywardness of God's people - God's sheep are persecuted by the goats - Beholding the Lord silences all parties Prayer This passage deals with God's people's rebellion, fear, and compromise. Pray for God's people - your local church and local churches you know of. Truly pray for congregations to behold the Lord and obediently be a prayer meeting church. this podcast is brought to you by Focusing on the Mark Ministries, Live a Matthew 6:33 Live until He comes

Lead us we pray as we spread the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Amen. 19 - The red heifer sacrifice was of tremendous significance in this culture. There is much debate and mystery about the reinstitution of this ritual that you are encouraged to do a "search" on. It has an ominous overtone about it that can be discussed into infinity. The cedar/hyssop/scarlet is a combination wherein the oils are still used today as powerful anti-septics in medicine. God was very concerned about cleanliness at every level; with the soul being first on the list. We could say more about the red heifer matter, the next Temple and such but again, the interested will look into that and can immerse themselves in the ongoing debate at will. The remainder of 19 deals with the handling of the dead for families and for those in proximity to the dead. This is a matter that had to be reinstated anew. They had come from Egypt after 430 years there and Israel was not to be a cult of the dead as Egypt was. The dead ended up being more captivating than the living in Egypt. In Israel, God wanted them to deal with the dead with issues of purity and the health of the living in mind. Bury them, mourn and call it over with. Hebrews were agents of a culture of life leading to Eternal Life, not death. It's interesting that at one point Jesus replies, "let the dead bury the dead." He came to give abundant life, not to obsess over the dead. 20 - Miriam dies at Kadesh (she was 130). Soon there is more complaining in the camp, the food is drab - nothing reminds them of the fresh produce of Egypt, there's an apparent lack of water so they are laying it on thick and Moses/Aaron are having stress. God gloriously appears to them in the tent! He gives specific instructions; this time to speak to the rock. Mind you Moses has always done exactly what he has been told since being called into ministry. But exasperation took over this time. He doesn't want to appear looney. Think about his sentiment when he suspects every one thinking, "oh great, now Moses is talking to rocks. Now what do we do? Our leader has been out in the sun wayyy too long!" Moses falters, has a tantrum and whacks the rock - twice. Water came, yes, but the disobedience would cost Moses. He was now relegated to die, in the desert too, and not enter the Promised Land. His wanderings would end in...wandering; not in Canaan. Sad stuff. But that was down the road. Next they request passage through Edom; the Land of Esau for some 400+ years now. His descendants do not take too kindly to their long lost and returning cousins who were sequestered in Egypt for 430 years. They deny them passage through Edom and are insistent about it. Would God have assisted them had they pushed back against Edom? It was a short route into Canaan. But the Israelites submitted to the Edomites show of force and went to Mt. Hor. Aaron's time for passage arrived. His mantel is put upon his son and Aaron dies (at 123). baby brother Moses would die within a year as well [at 120] but that is not told to us until the end of Deuteronomy. We'll read that on December 31, in 3+1/3 months. 21 - Next, the Canaanite King of Arad fought and kidnapped some Israelites. With the Lord's clearance, the Israelites decimated Arad and his people and their cities. It is a marvel that the Israelite farmers of Goshen (the delta of the Nile), turned nomads, then became successful soldiers. The next journey had them going the long way around. A look at a map will reveal why they were complaining. But let's not forget the larger picture that God wanted them in the Promised Land 38 years prior to their entry; Numbers 13-14. They are still out there because of their complaining - not because of God. So let's all remember that when we reject God's straight way and opt for our long way, let's not blame God for doing it our way v.s. His Way. The snake bites got their attention and as most beleaguered parents tell their children, "I'll give you something to cry about" - this really got the Israelites attention. The remedy is a daily reminder even today as the symbol for medicine is still a serpent on a pole. You see it on ambulances. That comes from right here in Num. 21. The balance of today's reading, to the end of Num. 21 is filled with travel and cities and more confrontations. The lesson going here and there and ending up [AGAIN] in nowhere [AGAIN] is to not complain so that God can take you somewhere. Their battle was against the Amorites led by King Sihon. Sihon was like your neighborhood yapping dog who barks and snarls just because you are walking by. If he could get past the fence he would come and nip at your heel. Yes, this was Sihon. He charged Israel like a dog escaped from his yard. And he received a hound dog's whoopin'. Sihon lost every one of his cities to Israel. They also assumed all the land of Bashan from King Og. The Lord directed against King Og and there were --> no survivors. The Israelites now possessed the land east of the Jordan.
A few decide that there's nothing special about Moses/Aaron and attempt to seize power...things don't end up great.

Sandra Jones reflects on the lives of these three siblings and how their leadership shaped a nation.
(Delivered 08/16/2020) What would have to happen to cause you to betray someone you loved? When Israel worshiped the gold calf, it was like cheating on a spouse on the wedding night. As we compare Moses to Jesus we see you can't punish your way back into a right relationship.
God heard the cries of the nation of Israel and sent a deliverer...Moses & Aaron into Egypt to demand Pharoh to release HIS people. Pharoh disobeyed and God commanded Moses to release series of devastating PLAGUES. These PLAGUES were designed to not only get attention, but to show the POWER of God ! Due to our sin & disobedience and our laxk of WORSHIP of God, HE has released more PLAGUES to get our attention. Storms, floodings, mudslides, Wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, juvenile delinquents, murdersCRV-19, Flu, How many have to die before WE REPENT ?

You should always want to know what the writer was doing and how he wanted us to read it… If we don't understand what he was doing and what he wanted us to see we'll be apt to read it wrong, make it mean things that it wasn't meant to mean… If we don't understand what it meant to his original audience we'll have a harder time knowing what it should mean to us… 2. Matthew, the tax collector who left everything behind to follow Jesus, wants us to see that Jesus is greater than everything and everyone… Ever! He wants us to follow Him with everything we are! To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind! And dwell on His words day and night… search out the riches of His word… It is packed to the brim with insights into who He is and how he functions… 3. He wants us to see that if He is for us… who can be against us… So, give Him everything you have and in your daily going out… heal the sick, cast out demons, bring life wherever you go… Be holy as He is Holy… Bring life as He is life… And make disciples…
Exodus 4b,5a We are reminded that God wants complete obedience. He wants us to journey through life together, especially during difficult times. During difficult times it is important to keep our focus on the character and power of God. The God who saved you is the same God who will sustain and help you.

Moses | Aaron McRae by Hillside Community Church
A discussion/explanation of priestly vestments and their connection to Christ. As well as the dramatic narrative of Moses Aaron and Korah.
This lecture continues to discuss the archetypes of our soul, and how the false archetypes are known as our imperfections, "passions" or simply egos. It continues with a general outline of the Paths of Peter, Judas, and John, at the introductory level. The inner meaning of the name “John” is explained, as well as the meaning of the “servant” and “witness” of God, the olive trees, the candlesticks, in relationship with Zechariah 4: 11 – 14 and Revelation 11:1 – 4. How to work with the Keys of Heaven, Two Keys of Peter, is explained. In relation to the Old and New Testament, The Path to Christ can be understood, at an introductory level, in the following way Abraham descends from the City of Aur (“light”). The Spirit emerges from the uncreated light into the created light. Isaac is born. The Spiritual Soul unfolds from the Spirit. Jacob is born, and becomes Israel. The Human Soul unfolds from the Spiritual Soul. The Human Soul unfolds further into mind, emotion, vital/sexual energy, and body, and may choose to begin the Path. Joseph and Benjamin (and all the 12 Tribes of Israel) develop. The Human Soul begins to develop superior qualities. The Inner Temple is constructed. Moses & Aaron liberate the Israelites by overcoming the Pharaoh (psychological defects, attachments, passions, etc.). John baptizes Jesus in the River Jordan. Joshua crosses the River Jordan after the laying of hands by Moses. John/Moses dies to make way for resurrection in Jesus/Joshua. Jesus (Yeshuah, Joshua, “savior”), the Intimate Christ, is the descension of the Universal Christ into the initiate who has achieved the level of “John” or “Moses.” After John, comes “Jesus” in the New Testament. After Moses, comes “Joshua” in the Old Testament, which is the same symbol.

What Did The Devil Want With The Body Of Moses - Aaron Wilkins
Introduction Signs of the Lords Power Moses pleads with God to use someone else. God shows Moses His power by changing his staff to a snake, his hand into leprosy, and changing water from the Nile into blood. God gives Moses Aaron to speak for him The Trip to the Elders Things go very well with the elders.…
After Moses and Aaron speak to Pharaoh, his heart is hardened and he puts more work on Israel. The elders of Israel are upset with Moses & Aaron because they believe they have put them in this bind. Open your Bible to Exodus 5 and let's dive in...
A sermon series in Exodus.
The Wilderness Wanderings of the Children of Israel had some of the most intense situations. A few of them are discussed as we see our selves in their actions and situations...We see Christ magnificently displayed in a variety of ways and we see that the Wilderness, though thought to be a punishment is often where we are mercifully brought along to be retaught, reprogrammed and remolded into the very people of God He desires us to be!
