Victory, Repentance, and Water in the Wilderness (Num. 21)

So often, when we think about the book of Numbers, we think of rebellion, grumbling, and death. But tonight, we are looking at victory, repentance... and Beer (be’er means “well” in Hebrew).

Tonight’s story reminds us that whenever God takes you down a long and difficult road, there is refreshment at the end – there is victory – there is peace (shalom) for those who repent.

Sometimes the road can be 40 years long. Sometimes it can take 40 years until you learn your lesson – and repent!

But – yes, there is a warning here – not everyone repents!

And so as we go through our passage tonight, let us learn to repent and believe the gospel!
