The Lord’s Day Evening Numbers 20:1-29 “Just Another Day in the Wilderness” A sister dies, a rock is struck, the water flows, the Edomites refuse, and a brother is gather to his people Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 20. Since Numbers 11, we have been experiencing precisely what the Apostle Paul warned us against in I Corinthians 10: that is, a seemingly ceaseless cycle of grumbling and complaining and murmuring and rebelling against the Lord. And now that we have come to Numbers 20, we have come to one of the saddest chapters in the whole of this book — in the whole of the first five books of Moses, in the whole of the Pentateuch, in the whole of the Old Testament, and indeed, in the whole…

We’re Levites, but we want to be priests.’ And they challenge Moses’ and Aaron’s leadership, and they defame them. You be on the lookout for how they do this, both those things — they challenge the leadership and they defame Moses and Aaron. Let’s hear God’s word. “Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, and they rose up before Moses with a number of the people of Israel, two hundred fifty chiefs of the congregation, chosen from the assembly,…

In this passage today, Paul is reminding Timothy…

James 4:11-17Worldly Speaking and Christian Speaking If you have your bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to James chapter 4.As we've worked through this very practical book, we noted that in James 1: 26 & 27 James actually gives us a three-point key to some of the important topics that he addresses for the rest of the book.

As we continue our study of the life of Jacob, we have not too long ago reviewed the well known passage in which Jacob wrestles with the Lord Himself in Genesis 32, verses 24-32, and we saw there Jacob emerge as a broken and a named and a blessed man. And we saw that as part of the whole work that God had been doing on Jacob from Genesis 30 all the way through 32, where God is preparing Jacob to…

The Meeting of the Brothers

Genesis 33:1-20The Meeting of the Brothers If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 33. We’ll study this chapter tonight which recounts the meeting between Esau and Jacob. This much-anticipated reunion of the brothers. Jacob wasn't much anticipating a positive experience in this reunion. And so there has been some tension building in the succeeding chapters as we have seen Jacob making his way back towards Canaan to the promised land. And then hearing that he…
