The New Generation

Wednesday Evening January 23, 2008 Numbers 26 With God in the Wilderness The New Generation Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I would invite you to take your Bibles in hand and turn with me to Numbers 26. This is a long chapter. It is a chapter in which Moses is commanded to do another census. You will remember that before the wilderness journey began, in Sinai, Moses had been commissioned to take a census of the people. And we were reminded in that census how faithful God had been to His promises to the children of Israel, even in their days in Egypt. Though they had gone down as seventy men, they had come out with a massive army, and that is made so clear in that census that was taken in Sinai. But now a generation has come and gone; a generation has died in the wilderness because of their…

With God in the Wilderness (29) The Wars of the Lord

The Lord’s Day Evening October 21, 2007 Numbers 21:10-35 “The Wars of the Lord” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 21. The last time we were together in the book of Numbers, we were looking at Numbers 21:1-9, that deeply moving story of the Lord bringing judgment on the grumbling people of Israel in the form of poisonous snakes; and then, having cried out to the Lord for relief in repentance and in supplication, having gone to Moses and begged that he would intercede for them with the Lord, the Lord appointed Moses to set up a brazen serpent, a copper serpent, whereby all who looked on it were saved. This passage began with a deadly challenge and a glorious victory, and continued with the all…

Arranged

Wednesday Evening January 24, 2007 Numbers 2 “Arranged” Dr. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 2. Thank you. It’s not quite as long a passage as last week, but it’s a fairly long passage. Last week we were in Numbers 1, which gave us the numbering of the tribes; now in Numbers 2, we come to the arranging of the tribes. And we’ve said as we have come to the book of Numbers that this book, though it is filled with history that is unfamiliar to some, history that is suspected to be boring by others…we’ve said that Moses tells the stories of the history of God’s people in such a way in this book that these stories are electric, and they are filled with wisdom and with Christ for us. We also…

Numbered

Wednesday Evening January 10, 2007 Numbers 1:1-46 Numbered Dr. Ligon Duncan III I'd invite you to turn in your Bibles, if you have them, to the book of Numbers; and if you don't, there should be a sheet somewhere with the entire text of Numbers 1:1-54. I just want to remind you of a few things. Last week we said that Numbers may not be one of your favorite books; it may not be one of the books that you most recently read; you may not list it in your “Top Ten” list of favorite Bible…

God Help Us

The Lord's Day Evening January 8, 2006 Psalm 83 “God Help Us” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn to Psalm 83 as we continue to make our way through the Third Book of the Psalms. This Psalm is an imprecatory Psalm, and as we’ll see later on, it's, by the way, not the only imprecatory Psalm in this Third Book of the Psalms. When we were looking at Psalm 79 together, we noted also there an imprecatory Psalm. An…

The Lord is My Banner

Exodus 17: 8-16The Lord Is My Banner If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 17. Last week we came to the final stage on Israel's journey in the wilderness before they reach Sinai, but the oasis of Rephidim turned out to be yet another example of Israel's faithlessness and God's patience and mercy. Things are going to get worse at Rephidim. Israel, we've already mentioned, faces four crises on the way to the mountain of God. They face a lack of…

The Lord Overthrows the Egyptians

Exodus 14: 15-31The Lord Overthrows the Egyptians If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus 14. We’re in the middle of this chapter. Two weeks ago we began the journey out of Egypt with Israel. It's an exciting story and we've already seen a couple of turns. It begins in Exodus 13 in verse 17 down to verse 22. With great expectation, great excitement the people of God are being led, in God's providential kindness, not by the way of the sea, which would…

The Lord Will Fight For You

Exodus 14: 1-14Saved to Worship If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 14. Last week we did indeed begin our journey out of Egypt with Israel. It is an exciting story, and I hope to continue to bring to mind some things that you have missed in the past, though this story is very familiar to you. But most of all it's important for us to remember that this is not just exciting history, it's not just exciting Bible history, or history of redemption, it…
