Numbers part 2: God PROMISES & Giant PROBLEMS

This message is all about how God takes us on a journey from being stuck to stepping into what He’s promised us—just like the Israelites leaving Egypt. We’re looking at Numbers 13, where Moses sends twelve guys to check out the Promised Land. It’s not just some old Bible story; it actually shows us a lot about our own lives and what it means to trust God when things look scary.

We’re being challenged to see ourselves as “people of promise”—people who are meant to step out in faith, even when we feel like there are huge obstacles in the way. The message also connects how the Israelites went through different stages as a group, just like we do—sometimes things get messy (“storming”) before they come together (“performing”).

As we think about this, it’s a good time to ask: Are we holding back from all God has for us because we’re scared, or because it feels impossible? Are we stuck in the wilderness because of doubt? This is a reminder to trust God’s promises, even when they seem out of reach, and to believe that He always comes through. Bottom line: God’s calling us to step up, own our identity as His people, and go after everything He’s planned for us—no matter what giants are standing in the way.
