It’s Mother’s Day and we’re all asking the same question… “Mom, am I your favorite?” It’s the age-old questions most mothers will never answer. However, underneath this questions lies perhaps an even more pressing one – am I God’s favorite? Or, more specifically, how do I earn favor with God? Today as we explore Numbers […]
Today, our brother Bob shares with us about his recent trip serving on the farms in Israel as well as the biblical prophesies he saw being fulfilled during his time there.
Today we explore Numbers 5… which for the first time in the book does NOT include numbers of things to count but may actually be even more challenging to read through as we encounter seemingly odd rituals and instructions.
