Numbers: A Faithful God to Unfaithful People | Video DevotionalSample

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Numbers: A Faithful God to Unfaithful People. Before you journey through the book of Numbers, watch the short overview video below. The book of Numbers shows us what it looks like to get trapped in the cycle of sin. Whether it was Israel in the wilderness or ourselves in the city, we all disobey and are headed toward punishment. Only Jesus can break the cycle of sin, intercede for us, and bring us out of the wilderness to himself.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the book of Numbers. Numbers 14:26-38 shows us that even when God's people rebel and disbelieve, his promises are still sure—but disobedience has consequences. This passage confirms the major theme of Numbers: that God is faithful to bring his people into his presence, but only through trust in his appointed leader, which ultimately points to Jesus, the true and better Joshua who leads us into the final Promised Land.

What's Next?
