Scripture: Numbers 13:1-3 & verses 30-32 & Numbers 14:9 - And the Lord said to Moses, "Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, everyone a chief among them.  And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. Verses 30-32 - Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, "Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.  But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.  And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, "This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size. Numbers 4:9 - Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.

Prayer: Rev. I. Pelton

Scripture: Numbers 14:1-4 - And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, 'Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!  And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?  And they said one to another, 'Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.'

Subject: Are You Sure You Want To Go Back?

• God has a plan for us which is salvation - the call
• Commitment is the dedicated choice.

• If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  2 Chronicles 7:14
• We need to have courage to..... Philippians 3:14 - I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
