Adultery rituals. Bloody war. Judgement. Failed Heroes. The Book of Numbers contains some of the most difficult and confusing passages in the Bible. Often we are left to sort through these passages on our own, and rarely are they the subject of preaching. But isn't this God's Word? How can the New Covenant church make the most of the Old Testament -- the Bible that Jesus read?

In the months leading up to our formal start date as a church in 2015, we faced these subjects head on. Join our launch team as we crammed into the foyer of the IFS office building.

Difficult Passages in the Book of Numbers

Jesus grew up on the Hebrew Bible and affirmed it as God's inspired Word which was fulfilled in Him. It also remains God's Word for the Church today. Bible scholar Dr. Sarah Hall discusses the ongoing relevance of the Old Testament to the spiritual formation of the New Covenant community.

The Old Testament: The Bible Jesus Read

Accused women drink the dust of the tabernacle?! Pastor Taylor opens up one of the most obscure and "disturbing" passages from the Book of Numbers -- the test for adultery -- showing us how to understand it in context and how it ultimately points us to Christ.

Drinking the Bitter Waters (Numbers 5:11-31)

Why did God forbid Moses from entering the Promised Land? It's confusing. And if the greatest figure in the Old Testament couldn't make it, what hope is there for us?

Why Did Moses Strike Out? (Numbers 20:1-29)

When the king of Moab tries to hire the infamous Balaam to curse the Israelites, he replies, "I could not go beyond the command of the LORD my God to do less or more." So why is Balaam regarded as a bad guy (Jude 11; Rev. 2:14)? Pastor Jon helps us sort through this mysterious and entertaining story.

The Strange Case of Balaam (Numbers 22-24)

Why did God command war in several places in the Old Testament? Does war contradict God's holy, just, and loving character? What does this mean for those of us who follow a Messiah who died for His enemies?
