Class 8 started a new outline blank. Numbers 15-Deuteronomy 34 – Forty Years in the Wilderness
We looked at:Promise before Punishment
When God makes a promise, He keeps it. He is reminding His people the outcome if they obey, even though they are being punished.
We looked at the differences in sin
Rebellion and Wrath
How “Grace Calls for Faith and Love”
God makes them wander but doesn’t leave them alone.
Graces teaches, and love obeys through faith.

Class 7 looked at the period of unbelief that eventually kept the first generation out of the promised land.

Outline blank: Numbers 11-14 – Unbelief

Numbers 11:1a – “Now the people complained…”

Numbers 14:2 – “All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness!”
Numbers 14:26-28 – “As I live, declares the Lord, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:”
Numbers 14:34 – “34 According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years”

They missed the menu of Egypt more than they valued the presence of God.
Following God costs something. Not following God costs something. Pick your hard.
The two great lawgivers were defined by meekness and gentleness.
Bad people don’t have a monopoly on sin
Miracles are not enough for a hard heart.
Success is doing what God says, no matter where it takes you and no matter what it costs you.
It shows us that they were still looking for the solution for sin. It reminds us of Genesis 3:6 and looks forward to the promises of Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 12:3.

Class 6 looked at the 1 year spent at Mt. Sinai.

Outline Blank: Exodus 19 – Numbers 10 – One Year at Mt. Sinai
God gave them food, water, shelter, clothing, and health, and fought for them.
Their needs were not primarily physical. The year at Mt. Sinai was to teach them how to be God’s people.
4 big things at Mt. Sinai
1. Law
2. Tabernacle
3. Sacrificial System and Priesthood
4. Numbered and organized – Numbers 1-10
God assigns roles in His kingdom. Those roles are about order and function, not value or worth.
We can worship the right God the wrong way.

Outline blank: Exodus 1-12 – Slavery in and Judgment on Egypt
Genesis closes with the “Great Nation” promise underway, and Exodus opens with it being fulfilled.
A change in the throne brought a change in attitude towards the Israelites.
But God blessed them. There was growth in the struggle.
Moses spent 40 years being a shepherd before he led the Israelites

The driving force of genuine faith has never been “I think” or “I feel” or “I want.” The heartbeat of faith is “God said.”

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He responded by quoting Scripture. Throughout His ministry, He often asked, “What does the Scripture say?” If the Word made flesh relied on God’s written word, how much more should we?

There has always been law in every age; not as a burden, but as a gift. In the patriarchal age, God spoke to heads of households. In the Mosaic age, He gave detailed commandments. In the Christian age, we live under the law of Christ.

Trembling reverence for every word God has spoken isn’t legalism. Submission to God’s will doesn’t negate grace. Legalism is adding our own requirements to God’s commands. Obedience is simply accepting God’s grace and responding in faith.
