The Book of Numbers tells the story of Israel’s journey through the wilderness—a time of testing, failure, and God’s unwavering faithfulness.

Through this study, we’ll explore how their journey mirrors our own, calling us to faith, obedience, and confidence in God’s promises.

From Genesis to Revelation, “God’s Redemption Story” outlines the narrative of God’s plan for the reconciliation of humanity. This 12-part reading plan summarizes the story of the Bible. Exodus through Joshua continues the story of God’s chosen people on a journey to know their God and discover his plan for their lives.
