In the Wilderness E3 - The Bronze Serpent

Israel becomes impatient in the wilderness. They rebel. God's judgment comes. They ask for mercy. God forgives. This pattern repeats again and again throughout Israel's wilderness journey. And it reveals to us one of the core ideas of the Bible: God has provided a priest for sinners. Check out our Story of God podcast feed to find all the messages in one place.

In the Wilderness E2 - Scouting the Land

Moses sends spies into the land, who find that it's just as good as God said it was. But they also find giants. Ten of the spies want to turn back to Egypt, but two believe they should move ahead and conquer the land. Their choice is the same as ours: will we turn back in unbelief or will we boldly step into the promise of God? Check out our Story of God podcast feed to find all the messages in one place.

In the Wilderness E1 - Welcome to the Desert

After spending a year at Mount Sinai, Israel sets out for the Promised Land. They have a salvation in their past and a promise in their future, but in between they have a desert. The wilderness is the "in-between" place, full of trials and tests. How we handle the wilderness determines whether or not we make it into the Promised Land.
