My current congregation’s mission statement is simple: Loving God. Serving Others. Changing Lives. This statement is written on the wall above the doors so that we can’t help but see those words as we walk out of the sanctuary each Sunday morning. It is a nice reminder that the world...

God, we are thankful that you are rich in mercy. As we encounter the wilderness, we pray that we are open to the ways that living into our faith and experiencing the fullness of your grace can change us. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

Sometimes we get ourselves into trouble by our words and actions. It’s okay to admit it. It happens to all of us. The Israelites experienced this when their constant grumbling provoked God’s wrath in Numbers 21. Yet even in this story, God provides the means of salvation. The psalmist echoes the refrain that when we put ourselves in bad positions, we may cry out to the Lord for deliverance. We read in Ephesians that all of us were living in disobedience to God, but God has done all the work of reconciliation by grace given through Christ Jesus. John ties all this together, gesturing to the story in Numbers 21 to teach us that Christ is the means of restoration and salvation for all who believe in him.
