Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant,
Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh
Prayer: Pastor Baggett
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.
