1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face. No.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Sixteen four. Dear Heavenly Father, as I step into this

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: season of my purpose, I thank you for protecting me

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: against people who would try to corner me and accuse

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: me with false stories. Thank you that your protection provides

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: a way out when others seek to destroy my destiny.

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: When I am faced with challenging people, I will be

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: like Moses. I will drop to my knees in prayer

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: and seek a solution in your presence, Because wherever the

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom and liberty. Through

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: your power. I know that even though the attacks seem unrelenting,

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I can rest my mind knowing that with each attack,

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I will remain untouched because you surround me with a

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: cloud of glory and protection. Confirm my cause. Like you

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: confirmed Moses, I give you permission to take over my

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: trials and to silence all opposition. I confess that without

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you I'm limited, but with you on my side, I

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: am a force to be reckoned with what God has

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: for me is for me, and I'm coming after it

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: all in Jesus name. Amen. Listening to these daily prayers

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the Lord

22
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: by listening to today's Bible in a Year, brought to

23
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you by Bible in a Year dot com Kra and

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: his followers. In our last story, Moses sent spies to

25
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the land of Canaan. Ten out of the twelve spies

26
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: brought back negative reports and scared the people into wanting

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: to go back to Egypt. God, fed up with their

28
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: constant doubts, denied them access to the promised Land. They

29
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: were banished to die in the wilderness, and their children

30
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: would be the ones to inherit the land. In this story,

31
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: we learn about Israel's first organized rebellion. Seeds of doubt

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: were sown by Krah from the tribe of Levy. Those

33
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: who rise up against Moses regretted deeply as inspired by

34
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: the Book of Numbers. Hello, I'm Jack Graham with today's

35
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: episode of the Bible in a Year podcast. In our

36
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: last episode, we discovered that the Israelite's lack of faith

37
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: cost them. It cost them God's promised Land at least

38
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: for that generation, because they failed to trust in God

39
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: to give them the land and to defeat every enemy.

40
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: They listened to ten spies who spoke words of fear

41
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the entire generation would now die off. They would never

42
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: see the promised land. Only Caleb and Joshua would experience

43
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: the promise that God has given. We've previously heard the

44
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: story of Miriam and Errand defying Moses, but in today's

45
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: reading will learn of the first rebellion of the people,

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: led by Cora, a Levite. The people will turn against Moses,

47
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: but their actions will have terrible consequences, and God will

48
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: use their actions to remind his people that when they

49
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: oppose his plans and resist his will, there is judgment

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: to follow. Less. Listen now to today's reading. The stars

51
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: lit the skies like sand on the sea shore. The

52
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: camp was silent, and all of Israel slept in their tents,

53
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: all but a few. Cora, a son from the tribe

54
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: of Levy, had gathered a few of the elders around

55
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: some burning colds. Together they stood in frustration and jealousy

56
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: towards Moses. They whispered amongst themselves, conniving and scheming against

57
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Moses and Erin. A wicked grin could be seen at

58
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: the corner of Cora's face as they planned their coups.

59
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: The men arose in the morning with intensity Cora, with

60
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty chiefs behind him, marched to the tent

61
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: of Moses. They assembled together against Moses and erin they

62
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: brought him out in front of the congregation as if

63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: on trial. The Israelites took notice of what was happening

64
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: and began to gather around Cora and Moses. Cora smiled

65
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: at the attention and raised his voice for all the

66
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: people to hear. He pointed to Moses, how dare you,

67
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: Cora shouted, every one here is holy, Moses. You are

68
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: not the only one among us anointed by God, So

69
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: why do you choose to exalt yourself? Are you better

70
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: than all of us? He spoke with a frightening charisma.

71
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Moses refused to play Corah's game. The people watched Moses,

72
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: anticipating a clash of alpha's fighting for the right to lead.

73
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Moses looked at Cora, no doubt, remembering the time he

74
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: once strangled an Egyptian soldier in the sand. Yet instead

75
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of fighting or speaking, he fell on his face. The

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: crowd watched as Moses took the position of bowing, while

77
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Cora exalted himself in front of the people and puffed

78
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: his chest. Moses laid there silently in the dirt, mumbling

79
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: prayers to God. Moments passed and the people held their breath,

80
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: waiting for Moses to answer Cora. He looked up and

81
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: rose to his feet. When Moses lifted his head in

82
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: intensity could be seen shooting from his eyes. His gaze

83
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: locked on to Corah, the look of a warrior king,

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: a posture strengthened by the spirit of God. Moses spoke

85
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: plainly and directly. He said, morning, the Lord will show

86
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: who is his. We will both bring offerings to him,

87
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: and he will choose among us, and Moses turned to leave.

88
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Before departing, he looked to all two hundred fifty men

89
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: and said, you have gone too far, sons of Levy.

90
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I know why you rise up against me. The leadership

91
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: God has given you was not enough, and he turned

92
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: back towards his tent. Later that day, Moses sent for

93
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: two elders of the congregation, Dathan and Abihum. He needed

94
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: support from people with influence, yet they denied him, saying

95
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: we will not join you. You have denied us the

96
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: land flowing with milk and honey. You have banished us

97
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: to die in the wilderness, and now you act as

98
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: king over us. At that instant, Moses's anger ignited within him.

99
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: If they had only known the hours he had spent

100
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: begging God to spare them, countless times Moses had beat

101
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: his chest before God, asking him to take his own

102
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: life instead of theirs, if they had only known the

103
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: sacrifice it took for him to watch the Egyptians, the

104
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: people he was raised with, to drown in the Red Sea,

105
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: and now they question his integrity, his humility, and his

106
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: devotion to them. Moses's eyes burned with rage, and his

107
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: fists clenched with furrowed brow. He beat his chest once

108
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: again and looked to God. Not even a donkey I

109
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: have taken from them. I have given them everything. Do

110
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: not respect their offering Tomorrow. The next morning, Moses rose

111
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: up to meet with Corah and his men. The entire

112
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: congregation surrounded them as they would a colosseum. Moses and

113
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Cora stood opposite of one another, with their offerings prepared.

114
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: Before God. The Lord whispered in the ear of Moses,

115
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: tell the people to separate themselves from Corah his men.

116
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Moses raised his voice for all to hear. Depart from

117
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: these men immediately, lest you be swept away, stay back.

118
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: So the crowd stepped back from Corah, Dathan and a

119
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Birham and their families. The three men stood by, watching

120
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: Moses with their offerings in front of them. Moses rose

121
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: his staff to Corah. Moses, once slow to speak and stuttering,

122
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: spoke clearly and powerfully. His voice boomed, and the people trembled.

123
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: This day, you shall know it is the Lord who

124
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: has sent me. Nothing I have done has been from

125
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: my own power. Moses pointed to the men and shouted,

126
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: If these men die a natural death, then I am

127
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: made a liar, and God has not sent me. But

128
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: if the Lord comes now and swallows them up into

129
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the fiery shadows of shol, then you shall know whom God,

130
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: God has chosen. In an instant, as Moses spoke, the

131
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: land trembled and shook. A roar could be heard from

132
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: the mountains, and the ground began to split. The earth

133
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: opened up before Corah and as men like the mouth

134
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: of a beast, and they were swallowed up into the

135
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: jaws of Sior. The screams of the three men stabbed

136
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: at the ears of all who were present, and fire

137
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: ascended from the depths and consumed all two hundred fifty men.

138
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: The congregation fled, fearing they would also be consumed by

139
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: the earth. The next day, the camp still smelled of

140
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: burnt flesh and brimstone. The place where the earth had

141
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: torn in two was within sight and acted as a

142
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: haunting reminder of God's power. The panic of that day

143
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: had subsided and was replaced by grumbling. You have killed

144
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: God's people, they said to Aaron and Moses. Then they

145
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: sought to harm Moses and Aaron, and in that instant,

146
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: the presence of God sir rounded the tent of meeting.

147
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Israel had learned nothing from the day before. Moses and

148
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Aaron ran to the tent, knowing full well the fury

149
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: of God was going to unleash once again. Get away

150
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: from the people, God said to them, for my wrath

151
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: is coming. Moses turned to Aaron and gave him incense

152
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: to spread among camp, to intercede and plead for God

153
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: to have mercy. Aron ran like the wind, wanting to

154
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: save the people from the wrath of God, but he

155
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: was too late. A plague had descended upon them like

156
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: a tempest. Moses and Aaron made atonements as fast as

157
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: they could, but not before the Lord had taken fourteen thousand,

158
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: seven hundred lives. The next day, God had Moses gathered

159
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: the elders from the tribe of Levy to take shepherd's

160
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: staffs and lay them at the altar. The one whose

161
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: staff would bud with flowers would be the one appointed

162
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: by God as priest over Israel. God would make it

163
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: under nihively clear through a miraculous sign who would be

164
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: in charge of the Levites now that Kora was gone.

165
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: The next day, Erin's staff had budded flowers and almonds,

166
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: and no one questioned who God had chosen. Fear and

167
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: trembling marked that season for Israel. They lived in constant

168
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: dread of what God might do to them if they

169
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: complained again. From this posture, they would begin to discern wisdom,

170
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: truth and justice. Israel's wrestling match with God was not over,

171
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: nor was God's desire to bless them completely. Today's story

172
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: begins with an early morning meeting led by Kora from

173
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: the tribe of Levi. He, along with two hundred and

174
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: fifty leaders, were gunning for Moses and Erin. They were

175
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: envious of moses very special place in the community and

176
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: wanted equality with him. Worse than that, They sought to

177
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: discredit his leadership. So they went to Moses and Aaron

178
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: and laid it all out in front of the entire

179
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: community for everyone to hear. They essentially said, what makes

180
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: you think you are so special? God has made us

181
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: all holy. You're no different than anyone else. Get off

182
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: your high horse. But Moses would not engage in an

183
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: argument with them. He and Aaron fall on their faces,

184
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: humbling themselves before God. When he answers Kara, he proposes

185
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: a test. Both groups would bring an incense offering to God,

186
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: and they would see who God would choose. But then

187
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: he spoke boldly with the conviction of a real leader,

188
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and called out Cora and the others for their actions.

189
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: Had not they already been set apart as leaders? Was

190
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: that not enough? Moses lets them know in no uncertain

191
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: terms that the one they were really opposing is the Lord.

192
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Moses calls on other leaders like Dathan and Abaram, and

193
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: they are also bitter about the loss of the Promised Land,

194
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: and they're blaming Moses, and so they sighed with Cora.

195
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: Fill with anger. Moses goes before God to urge him

196
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: not to accept their offering. The next morning is Moses, Aaron,

197
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: and Korah and the two hundred and fifty liaders gathered

198
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: themselves with their offerings. The congregation stands with Korah, which

199
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: is an affront to God himself. God tells Moses to

200
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: stand back so he could consume the entire congregation, but

201
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Moses and Aaron demonstrated true leadership and prayed for the

202
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: lives of the people and pointed the rebellious towards repentance.

203
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: When we come up against those who oppose us, even

204
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: those who oppose God, do we leave them alone to

205
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: their own destruction? Do we rallish their punishment? Or do

206
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: we step in and try to rescue them by pointing

207
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: them to God. Christ himself faced rejection and opposition that

208
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: we cannot imagine, yet he interceded on our behalf, just

209
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: as Moses does here for the people. God tells Moses

210
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: to have the people get away from Korra. They obey.

211
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: As Moses is speaking to Korai and the others, the

212
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: ground opens up and swallows all two hundred and fifty men,

213
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: their homes, and their families. The people blame Moses and Aaron,

214
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: saying they killed the men. So God says he will

215
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: wipe them away with the plague. Again, Moses and Aaron

216
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: seek to make atonement for the people's sin with burnt offerings.

217
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: They succeed in stopping the plague, but not before fourteen

218
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: thousand and seven hundred people perish. God sends a sign

219
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the very next day, flowers budding from air and staff,

220
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: to show every one whom he had chosen to lead

221
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: the Levites. The people were now living in fear of

222
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: God's judgment, but this would not be the end of

223
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: God's struggles with his stubborn, wayward people, and yet his

224
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: blessing and promise remained upon them. Dear God, thank you

225
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: for moses example of humility and servant leadership. Thank you

226

227
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: took our wrath and our sin and intervened on our

228
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: behalf before you. We are so thankful for your salvation

229
