The Messy Middle: Fear Has Consequences

Title: Fear Has Consequences

Main Passage: Numbers 13

This week we move into the book of Numbers.  The Israelites had been led to the edge of the Promised Land but they were hesitant to enter it.  After the report of the spies the choose their fear over faith in the Lord.  The result was a diversion back into the wilderness for the next 40 years.  Failing to follow the Lord in faith has consequences.

The Messy Middle: The Need for Holiness

Title: The Need for Holiness

Main passage: Leviticus 17-27

God did not arbitrarily put all of the rules in place for the Israelites.  He was teaching them that He is holy.  And for good reason!  They were to be holy as He is holy.  The same is true for us today.  We may not be bound by all of the statutes in Leviticus anymore.  But we are still called to be holy as God is holy.
