Grumbling

Wednesday Evening June 6, 2007 Numbers 11:1-15 “Grumbling” Dr. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers, chapter 11, and let me just remind you of one thing from last week together. You can take a look at Numbers 10:33-36, and just remember that at the end of Numbers 10, Moses is reminding you of how God visibly demonstrated and manifested His care for, His providence over, His protection of the children of Israel, and He did this in at least two ways. One, He did this through the ark going before the children of Israel. It was reminding them that their God was blazing the trail for them in the wilderness. He wasn’t saying, ‘You guys launch forth, I’ll be back here, I’m backing you up, with you all the way.’ No,…

Elders and Quail

Wednesday Evening June 20, 2007 Numbers 11:16-30 “Elders and Quail” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers, chapter eleven. Tonight we’re going to be looking at verses 16-30. Now, to God’s word. If you have your Bibles, let me ask you to cast your eyes back earlier in the chapter (Numbers 11), because the last time we were together in Numbers, back at the first Wednesday night of June a couple of weeks ago, we were looking at Numbers 11:1-15.

In verses 1-3 of Numbers 11 we see the complaint of the people against God; in verses 4-6 we see the influence of this rabble that’s amongst the people of God…

The Plague

Wednesday Evening June 27, 2007 Numbers 11:31-35 “The Plague” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 11 as we continue to make our way through this great book of the Old Testament — the fourth of the five books of the Law. We’re in chapter eleven. We’re in verses 31-35, right at the end of the chapter. The complaining of Israel has already been mentioned in this passage. We saw that when we were looking at verses 1-9, and it had initially resulted in God breaking out against Israel in the form of fire, just on the outskirts of the camp, but now God’s judgment is going to come again on Israel because of their complaining. It’s important for us to recognize that throughout the wilderness wanderings Moses himself…
