Counting God's Promises | Numbers 26

In this sermon series we walk through the book of Numbers as we see what it means for God to be in the midst of His people. Numbers 26 is a census that most people skip over, but it carries four powerful truths about God's faithfulness. Every person counted in Israel's census was a reminder that we belong to God, ransomed not by silver or gold but by the precious blood of Jesus. The census also shows that God's grace does not just forgive broken stories, He redeems them, as seen in the sons of Korah, who rose from the family of a rebel to become some of Israel's greatest worship leaders. Despite 40 years of wilderness wandering and an entire generation dying in failure, the population count barely changed, proving that God's promises outlive human failure. He was not scrambling for a Plan B when Israel rebelled. He was working through every detour to bring His purposes to completion. Ultimately, the Promised Land pointed to something greater: a rest that only Jesus can give, and an eternal inheritance for all who place their faith in Him.

Jealous for the Jealous God | Numbers 25

In this sermon series we walk through the book of Numbers as we see what it means for God to be in the midst of His people. What if the patterns of sin you keep struggling with are not a behavior problem at all, but a worship problem? When something other than God takes the center of your devotion, everything else unravels. God is not just a God who feels jealousy. Jealousy is one of His names. He is fiercely protective of His glory and of you, and He gave His Son to prove it. Take an honest look this week: what actually sits at the center of your devotion?

Why Should God’s Holiness Give Us Hope? | Numbers 20-21

In this sermon series we walk through the book of Numbers as we see what it means for God to be in the midst of His people. What if God's holiness isn't meant to scare you away but to draw you closer? Moses made God look human-like in his short temper, but God operates with otherworldly mercy - giving His best even when we're at our worst. Are you running toward God or away from Him when you mess up? 💧✨ Hays Hills Baptist Church seeks to bring life-changing hope, to an ever-changing people, through the unchanging Gospel

Does a Red Heifer Signal Jesus’ Return? | Numbers 18-19

In this sermon series we walk through the book of Numbers as we see what it means for God to be in the midst of His people. Why did red cattle shipped to Israel make international headlines and spark controversy? The answer lies in an ancient biblical ritual that hasn't been performed in over 2,000 years. But here's the real question: Are we missing the point entirely? What if the red heifer ceremony was never about end times signs, but about something far more personal and immediate for every believer today?

Why People Need a Priest: Death by Democratization | Numbers 16-17

In this sermon series we walk through the book of Numbers as we see what it means for God to be in the midst of His people. What happens when we think we don't need a mediator between ourselves and God? The story of Korah's rebellion reveals the deadly consequences of spiritual pride and misunderstanding our privileges. 250 leaders thought they could approach God directly - the results were catastrophic. Why do we still need Jesus as our high priest today?
