Aaron - Miriam
by Miles Seaborn
INTRO. What a gifted house! From out of a slave but in Egypt came Moses, the deliverer, leader and lawgiver. Aaron, the high priest, the silver tongued, and Miriam, a terrific performer in Sacred drama, sacred songs and instruments of music. A vivid reminder that environment is not everything and people can rise above circumstances whether they often do or not. It was the house Amram the Levite and his wife ''God my glory,'' that God not only poured quantity of talent but quality of talent was spread so well that all Israel was complete in Moses, Miriam and Aaron. But this morning let's fix our eyes on brother and sister...
The Terrible Fall of a Godly Woman: Miriam
by Jesse Hendley
Now, friends, if you have your Bibles, I would like for you to turn with me to Numbers, the 12th chapter. I want to speak to you about A WOMAN, a woman whose name was MIRIAM, a woman upon whom God's terrible JUDGMENT struck. My subject is "The Terrible Fall of a Godly Woman," or "God's Terrible Judgment Upon a Godly Woman."You know, in my ministry I have met all types of people. No minister can fail to be criticized. Nobody can, for that matter. Every person has some critics. Many people have made remarks about THE SERIOUSNESS of our message. Well, I want to remind you, friends, and I want to show you today in...
Bumps in the Road (3 of 10)
by Jerry Vines
I want to remind you of the fact that there is a reason why we are studying this Old Testament passage of scripture. Sometimes we look at these Old Testament books and we wonder why in the world are we studying them; and yet when you go to the New Testament in I Corinthians 10, you will find that there is a commentary given built on these chapters in the book of Numbers. You will find that the Lord says in I Corinthians 10 that what happened to the children of Israel in the Old Testament happened as an illustration to us and to give lessons and to be examples to us of the things that we have to deal with in our life. The Bible deals...
Miriam's Envy and Selfish Ambition (5 of 8)
by Larry Osborne
Envy often arises when we become discontent with what we have. The book of Ecclesiastes records King Solomon's search for contentment in a world where he had everything at his fingertips. Take a look at what he learned by reading the following passages and then jotting down his insights about the pursuit of contentment...How To Respond When Someone Else Has What You Want 1. Life is not fair - Eternity is better than fair 2. You can't lead if you can't follow 3. Nothing is ever as good or easy as it looks 4. A fool spits in the wind - a bigger fool argues with God 5. The difference between contentment and envy is focus...

Gentleness Is Love's Humility (8 of 9)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: In a culture of rough-and-rugged individualism, gentleness is thought of as weakness, being soft, and virtually spineless. Not so! ... Biblical gentleness is ''strength under control,'' in fact, the Greek word translated in Gal. 5:23 ''Gentleness'' came from a term that was used of a wild horse that had become obedient to the bit and bridle. It was therefore not the lack of power, but great power under the control of a master. Christianity is NOT for the weak! Being a Christian does NOT mean being soft spoken, weak, easily intimidated, it is strength under control of a master! Gentleness means finding a loving and kind way to...
Of Pride and Prejudice (5 of 7)
by Jeff Strite
OPENING: Joe had ordered an expensive suit for a banquet, and the tailor finished alterations just in time. But as Joe left the shop, a sudden rainstorm doused the jacket and shrank one of the sleeves. ''We can't do anything about it today,'' the tailor told Joe when he returned to the shop. ''Just stretch the sleeve over your hand, and no one will notice.''With his arm contorted, Joe left the shop, and again was doused by rain. This time, a pant leg shrank.''I can't take care of that now!'' exclaimed the tailor. ''Pull the bottom of pants over your heel, and nobody will notice.''His body twisted, Joe again left the shop. Two women were passing by....
The Power of Meekness (3 of 8)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: There have always been those who have attempted to conquer the earth. We have seen the likes of the Pharaohs of Egypt, Alexander the Great, Ghangis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Caesar's of Rome, Adolph Hitler, etc. All these have failed! Each one of these men who almost did it shared one thing in common; though they controlled huge armies and had great power they did not have rule over their own spirit! In the end, their kingdoms were lost and they were ruined! And now we read Jesus' words here in this beatitude: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." This is not the quality most people associate...
A Sure Stopper For Big "MO"
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST quoted the prophet Isaiah: ''These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from me...''Is that descriptive of you or someone you know? There now I have already made an error in this message by saying ''someone you know,'' because each of us has the capacity of immediately shifting attention from ourself to another person. Reconsider, is it true of you? An incident in the lives of Moses, Miriam, and Aaron is a case study of this happening. Each had been assigned by God a very distinctive role. A problem arose when one became jealous of the other. I realize....
When Grace Becomes a Song (7 of 17)
by Drew Hunter
There has not been a moment on a Sunday in the past 2,000 years when there has not been praise sung to God. Somewhere, by some number of people, joy has welled up in hearts and turned into a song. Christians have always been singing people. Why? John Calvin tells us. ''The Church is the place where the Gospel is preached; Gospel is good news; good news makes people happy; happy people sing. But then, too, unhappy people may sing to cheer themselves up'' (T.H.L. Parker, John Calvin, 113). Christians are singing people because, in one sense, they can't help themselves. Something so great has...
Divine Healing
by Jesse Hendley
HEALING IN OLD TESTAMENT There is much opinion today about Divine Healing. Let us go directly to the Word to see what God has to say. The Bible teaches divine healing. It is a reality. It is a glorious fact. And anyone who loves God and loves the Bible and has studied His Word will admit that the Bible teaches divine healing. There is healing of the body, healing of the soul and healing of the spirit. Man is a tri-partite, or three-part being. We are going to see what the Word has to say about healing. The Healing of Miriam We know the Bible teaches divine healing from Numbers 12:13. ''Moses cried unto the Lord, Heal her now...
Who is Like the Lord? (4 of 8)
by Patrick Edwards
Introduction: During the reformations of the sixteenth century, one of the most significant concerns of the Reformers was the worship of the church. In particular, we see them lament how late medieval Roman worship had become a ''spectator event.'' Sinclair Ferguson observes, The service of divine worship was not an event in which the congregants were participants so much as spectators. The ''quality'' of worship was therefore measured not by the holy joy of the worshipers but by the standard of the music, the excellence of the singing of the choir, the aesthetic impressiveness of the drama of the Mass, with all its vestments...
The Singing Sister (3 of 9)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: (I had the people stand as we sang the "Star Spangled Banner") O say can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there O say does that star spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. APPLY: It used to be - shortly after 9/11 - that people would sing that song out loud at ballgames and other public events… but they don't that so...
