The Twelve Spies

June 7, 2020

Numbers 13:1-33

We give in to fear when we say no to God. The twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the Promised Land and report back their findings, were lacking faith. Ten of the twelve believed that it all depended on them and forgot to give it all to God. They gave in to fear and forgot their faith.

Numbers 13:1-33

Sermon Notes

Kids and Families:

1. Have you ever been afraid of anything?
2. What helped you get through that?
3. God says, “Fear not, for I am with you.” How does God’s presence make us braver?

For discussion and reflection:

1. Read Numbers 13:17-33. What did the spies see? What were they afraid of? Can you relate to those fears?
2. God called the Israelites to the promised land. Our promised land is the New Creation, which we experience now in part as life together in Christ. How is God calling you to a next step of faith in Jesus?
3. What fears hold you back from following where Jesus leads?
4. In the sermon we learned that saying yes to fear means saying no to God. How can you say yes to God and no to fear this week?
