Are fear and uncertainty causing you to struggle with your faith? Do you need encouragement? Are you struggling with your marriage or with parenting? Is someone in need of healing? Sometimes, all we need is a shoulder to lean on or a caring person to talk to. Our pastors are here to listen, offer prayer, and provide Biblical insight.
Whatever you are going through, don’t go through it alone.

i. They were to serve as a refuge
ii. They were to serve as a reminder
b. Provision of these cities
i. They were provided by God
ii. They were provided by Grace
1. It’s all provided by God
a. God initiates the process
b. God provided the means
c. God saves those who believe
d. God keeps those He saves
c. Power of these cities
i. Had the power to save
ii. They had the power to secure
iii. Their power was sufficient

1. Roads never clogged
2. Gates never closed
3. Directions never confused = there were sign posts with the
Hebrew word "Miklat" written on them that had been set up
to point the way to the city of refuge. That word means
"Refuge." There was no need for anyone to misunderstand
the way to get there.
e. Six Cities’ prophetic of the provision found in Christ
1. Kadesh - Righteousness - Isa. 64:4; 2 Cor. 5:21 (A refuge for
the burdened!)

disconnected.)

4. Bezer - Fortress - Heb. 18:2 (A refuge for the oppressed.)
5. Ramoth - Heights - Eph. 2:6 (A refuge for the distressed!)
6. Golan - Joy - 1 Peter 1:8 (A refuge for the downcast.)
2) God is our refuge (Psalm 46:1, Hebrews 6:19-20 NLT)
a. Jesus Christ our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14- Hebrews 5:6)
b. 2 Samuel 2:18-24; 2 Samuel 3:27-34 – the death of Abner.
