““Because you have not believed me to treat me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel; therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land.””
A reflection on Deuteronomy 3 that contrasts human pragmatism with God's sovereignty, highlighting how God's emphatic 'no' to Moses (not entering the Promised Land) was not punitive but purposeful—orienting Moses toward preparing Joshua and trusting God's greater plan.
“Moses ... disobeying and he did not get to see this promised land.”
A Palm Sunday exhortation centering on the sufficiency of God’s grace — urging reliance on God rather than self, humility and submission, prayer/fasting, unity in the church, and resistance to spiritual attacks.
“Because of Moses' disobedience, he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. Moses was never allowed to enter into the promised land.”
Pastors unpack the Christmas narratives to show Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament promises (the second Adam, the Word made flesh, Prince of Peace), explain differences in Matthew and Luke's genealogies, and apply those truths to contemporary debates about immigration — arguing Jesus was not an “illegal immigrant,” urging Christians to love people while respecting lawful roles of the state, and encouraging faithful, compassionate discipleship at Christmas.
