Into the Wilderness - Pt. 5

Sermon Series:

Into the Wilderness - Pt. 5

This week we look at a short passage in Numbers 21. The Israelites complain against God and Moses, and God sends venomous snakes to bite them. Pastor Ralph Williams walks us through this passage (with a nod toward Jordan Peterson) as we look at what it means to die in the Wilderness.

 

Pastor Ralph helps us understand that God doesn't just pluck us out of the Wilderness. Instead, we have to be willing to look at the snake on the pole in order to gain healing. The elements of chaos are left in place, but we have a healer who Himself hung on a pole (cross) for us. We hope you'll join us for this provocative look at a rarely preached passage!

This is the final message of this series (yes, we know it should have broadcasted on Christmas Day, but be honest: how many of you would have watched it then?) This week we look at the Father's Song. As Pastor Ralph Williams points out, it's not really a song; however it seems like it should be included in Luke's unfolding commentary on Who Jesus is.

This year Christmas Eve is also the fourth Sunday of Advent! This week's message focuses on Simeon and Anna, two "senior adults" who bring experience and life situations with them into the Temple. Pastor Ralph Williams shows how Simeon's Song is a powerful reminder that God is a Keeper of Promises, and He has not forgotten the promises He made to His people!

Everyone loves a Christmas Carol! This week we turn our attention to the song of the Angels and the Shepherds' response to it. In many ways this is the point where the songs of Mary and Zechariah come to life -- the place where real people in real life begin to experience the joining of the heavens above and the earth below!

This week continues the Advent Season. This year Pastor Ralph Williams is leading us through a Christmas Carol series, and who doesn't like a Christmas Carol, right? We hope you'll join us for this fun, yet in-depth look at some of the original Christmas songs as sung by the original singers.
