FBCW Sermons First Baptist Church of Woodbridge

Pastor Josh covers Numbers 32 and gives practical applications from Scripture on knowing if our plans are God-honoring. First, we need to seek counsel from people who know the Lord and not be surprised when they disagree with us. We need to receive their counsel with humility and follow their advice. We can't be offended by their loving oversight. Christ equips His church for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12), and we have the church's people to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:12) as we do so.

This week, Pastor Josh covers Number 31 and how we can see God's goodness in His vengeance. God's Word is always good in good and bad circumstances, and we can see His grace in every situation. We must remember God in His vengeance and that He will lose no one who is part of God's people. No matter what, we serve a good God who keeps His promises forever.

This week, we continued our series on the Book of Numbers, covering Numbers 26-30. The next generation in Numbers needed the right kind of leader, they needed to know how to worship rightly, and they needed family structure. The two things we need to know about the next generation are that they are in our midst and that they are taking their inheritance seriously. Our next generation has the same needs that Israel had in the wilderness.

This week, we continued in our series on the book of Numbers reading Numbers 25. In this passage, we hear about how Phinehas stands up for righteousness and stops God's plague of judgement on Israel. Some key takeaways: In this spiritual war, the greatest weapon against you is your own; your own desires really are that dangerous; God’s grace really is that marvelous.

This Sunday, we continued discussing the passage in Numbers on Balaam and the talking donkey. We read Numbers 23 and 24 as a continuation of last weeks sermon on Numbers 22. In every battle we face, we know who wins and we are on His side.

On Palm Sunday, we continued our series in Numbers as we read Numbers 21. We discussed five habits that lead to God-honoring victory. These habits were praying God's heart back to Him, gazing upon Christ in the midst of defeat, taking time to praise God, walking the path God puts before you, and trusting the God of victory.
