The Life of Moses: Taking Unnecessary Risks Numbers 10-14
God gave His Word to them in written form on Sinai. We studied the Decalogue and highlighted the intricate instructions that God gave Israel for the tabernacle and the other ceremonial aspects of the Law. This instruction extended from Exodus 21-31.
After the failure of the Golden Calf and God’s judgment on those that worshiped it, the worship of the Lord was reconfirmed. They constructed the tabernacle per His instructions and began the journey to the Promised Land. They had the tablets and the ark and also a new respect for the Lord as they begin their 2nd year.

The Life of Moses: Passing the Torch to Joshua Numbers 20 and 27
The risky business of resentment by the Israelites eventually provoked God to the extent that He judged the current generation in the land. While in only the 2nd year of their 40 year wilderness journey, God pronounced judgment on them because of their resentment against God.

The Life of Moses
(We are closing our study of Moses)
Obituary of a Leader: Deuteronomy 34
The Lord shows Moses all of the Promised Land, and Moses died (34:5). He died alone; He died secure; He died in God's timetable; He died without bitterness, regret or self-pity

May 24, 2009’s Sermon
You don’t have leave your brains at the door to become a Christian
I Cor.2:14 “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
Faith is more than “you ask me how I know He lives; He lives within my heart;” the Spirit of God uses intellectual enlightenment through reasonable explanations of God.

May 31, 2009’s Sermon
If God Exists, He Can Be Known
There are many arguments for the existence of God, most of them valid and quite powerful. However, because we are sinners and cut off from immediate communion with God we need something more than good arguments. What we need is for God to reveal Himself to us. This is exactly what He has done.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:3-4
