House Rules
“Our House will take RISK”
Gen/ Exodus/ Lev/ NumbersNew to FBA I believe it is God’s perfect timing for you to be here to find out what makes us tick.
What makes us FBA.
What are our Essentials.
So we are super glad that you chose to worship with us and hope you come back over the next 5 weeks.
Last week we began our sermon series that we entitled HOUSE RULES.
(we are family and today this place these people are our HOUSE) We said OUR HOUSE WILL PRIORITIZE UNITY.
We will do that through PATIENCE/ HUMILITY/ AND GENTLENESS.
Our take away which we will have each week was:Someone sitting alone is a 911Friends can waitIntroduce someone new to someone else.
Today house rule #2 is OUR HOUSE WILL TAKE RISK.
I believe that a church that God is using in incredible ways is a church that will take RISK.
It is a RISK TAKING church.
You ask the question have FBA taken Risk.
Absolutely!! Mission Trips and trusted God to provide.
– Now 1 full time missionary in GuatemalaLIFE ACTION.
15 day revival.
House was packed.
Stepping out to buy the 14 acres behind us.
Someone paid it off and we voted from buying it to accepting it as a gift.Coming to the school.
RISK.
Decline we have grown.
We run about 100 people more today than we did a year ago.
Building a new building.
RISK Why?
To reach Arlington tn for the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Do we have the money?
God is faithfully providing through His people and that has been YOU!!!HOW will we continue to be a RISK-TAKING church and is that IMPORTANT?
Glad you asked we are going to push into that today as we exegetically walk through the text and look and see what risk God has called us to take as a CHURCH and as INDIVIDUALS.
Numbers chapter 13.
This is our focal passage for today.
Just for a little context, setting the stage for the text we are diving into this morning.
The children of Israel were held captive due to their sin in the country of Egypt and God had released them in a supernatural way.
Under Moses leadership under these incredible plagues that got the attention of Pharaoh.
The Nile was turned to blood, there were plagues with locust and gnats that came upon the people and ultimately the final plague was that of the first born in all of Egypt that was killed.
The children of Israel had the blood of the lamb that God had told them to put on the lintel or the door post of the door and God had promised to Passover the house and not harm their firstborn.
Then the children of Israel were released headed to the promise land (which is going to be the main context of our story today) and they were going to take over the land of Canaan.
On the way God supernaturally opens up the RED SEA.
That’s a pretty big deal isn’t it.
The Children of Israel are headed to the promise land.
The Red Sea in front of them, the Egyptian army behind them ready to kill them, God parts the RED SEA and the Children of Israel walk across on dry land is what the bible says.
The Egyptian army is destroyed as the sea closes up when they try to walk across.
So when we pick up the story in Numbers chapter 13 the children of Israel are making their way to the Promise land.
Moses is calling them to go into the land and take a look to spy out the land.
So we have each tribe of Israel will have a spy to go in with this task at hand.
This is where we pick up the text this morning.
Before we dive into the scripture as we think about risk today PLEASE UNDERSTAND LIFE IS FULL OF RISK.
There is no life without risk.
In every arena of life ultimately there is risk.
The key is risking your life for something that really matters/ for something that counts.
The best way to WASTE YOU LIFE is not risking anything for something that really matters.
We are going to discuss this today because we don’t want to be church that waste our time here.
We want to be a church that embraces risk for the glory of God.
As we pick up our text this morning we are going to see in a long section of scripture how the children of Israel missed this opportunity out of fear.
What does it look like to be a CHURCH THAT WILL TAKE RISK?
Glad you asked.
Stand read Pray.Let move down to verse 26.
They did go in they spied out the land and it was exactly as the word of God and Moses had told them it would be.
READ 26.
You can just imagine everybody gathering around asking how was it?
There was no internet, there were no brochures.
We need to hear about this!
We are about to go in.
There was excitement.
They brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
They gave Moses this account.
We went into the land which you sent us and it does flow with milk and honey here some of its fruit.
BUT…HOWEVER.
Here we go, now we are going to hear the other side of the story.
READ V28.
The people….i am imposing my belief which may not be the best thing to do..I think they began to WINE as they gave their report.
READ 28 until LARGE.
Now keep in mind they just came out of the most powerful country in the world Egypt.
God had liberated them but now they are shrinking back into fear.
They are big and fortified and large READ v28 and BESIDES.
Read all of the way to V30.
READ v30.
But Caleb we are going to see Caleb and Joshua step up and be great examples of men of courage.
Men who take risk for the glory of God.
Read verse 30/31.
In other words the spies were looking at this situation through their own weakness instead of through the power of their God who had brought them out of captivity.
Joshua and Caleb are looking at the situation differently.
READ v32 -33.
Nephilim descendant from Goliath.
Really.
Cowardness is contagious that they are embellishing because of their lack of faith.
Read chapter 14:1.
READ v1.
They should have been celebrating about to go in and take their inheritance and now they are weeping and mourning and all of the Israelites grumbling against Moses and Aaron.
READ v2 -3 Boy this is an exciting group to be around.
Wining and crying.
Just should have killed us in Egypt.
Do you remember how God provided for the Children of Israel in the wilderness?
Every day the woke up they had DONUTS.
Mana from heaven that came down.
Then they grumbled against that we want some meat so God sent quail CHICK A FILET do you remember that from Sunday School years ago.
Then they got THIRSTY so Moses struck a rock and what happen?
Spring of water came out.
The Children of Israel just kept forgetting the promises and power and provision of God.
“Why is the Lord bring us into this land only to let us fall/ die by the sword.”
