The fourth book of the Old Testament has a plot that veers from an influx of quail, cowardly spies, earth-swallowing judgment and deadly plagues to a budding staff, water from a rock, and even a talking donkey. More than that, the book of Numbers strikingly foreshadows Jesus Christ as firstborn redeemer, mediator, sinless sacrifice, living water, a rock struck once, Star of Jacob, and our inheritance. As well, it touches on great spiritual truths like holiness, atonement, proper worship, the new covenant, spiritual warfare and more.

The unspoken question permeating this book is: Would we fare better than this newly freed first and second generation? The book of Numbers points a snake-bitten and perishing world away from ourselves to the One lifted up as a provision for our incessant rebellion and invites us to look – and live.

We would love to have you join us on Tuesday evenings this fall for “Look and Live” – a nine-week overview of the book of Numbers beginning October 3rd at 7:00-8:30 p.m. Bring a binder or duotang for the study sheets that will be handed out each week. There is no book to purchase.
