In the book of Numbers we see that the one who has been appointed by God to be a deputy authority must be a proper representative of God; we need to see the characteristics of those who properly represent God with His authority to His people. This week we have been looking at the book […]
Being those who Properly Represent God with His Authority as Ambassadors of Christ
Apply the Death of Christ to our Situation and Speak to Christ to Drink Living Water
In Num. 20 we see that the people of Israel were thirsty, and Moses was told to speak to the rock so that water may flow; Christ as the spiritual rock follows us to give us living water to drink whenever we’re thirsty. The smitten rock is a type of Christ, and the water flowing […]
