Welcome to our summer teaching series “The Wanderers”

Over the last few weeks we have traced the story of God’s people as they were brought up out of Egypt and began their journey through the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land.

It’s a story full of God’s Grace, Mercy, and Faithfulness. It’s also a story of God’s patience with people. An idolatrous, unfaithful, and quick to complain group of people that God desired to enter covenant relationship with.

Basic principle of the Mosaic Covenant:
Obedience to the commandments of the Lord
brings blessing and God’s favor
Disobedience brings discipline and God’s judgement.

10th day of the first month
Ate the Passover meal then was led out from Eqypt (slavery/bondage) and miraculously through the Red Sea on dry ground…40 years later they miraculously cross the Jordan river on dry ground and celebrate the Passover meal as they are led into the land of promise (God’s best).

If the giving of The Ten Commandments was the original Covenant act in the wandering, the circumcision at Gilgal was the final, consecrating act.

The OT story shows our deep need for a savior

Jesus is our greater Joshua and God’s promises are indeed facts for those found in Him
