Discussion Questions

1. What is something that the Lord taught you in the book of Numbers that you did not previously know? What impact has that truth had on you?

2. Out of all the gospel threads addressed in the sermon, which one jumped out to you the most? Why?

3. We discussed the "already/not yet" tension of the Christian life. Where do you feel that tension most personally right now, and how does knowing Jesus perfectly endured the wilderness in your place change how you face it?

4. We said salvation isn't just a promise of a place — it's the presence of a person. How does that change what you think you actually received at salvation? And what does it look like practically to live this week in awareness of that presence?

5. The cycle in Numbers repeats over and over — unbelief, disobedience, judgement, gracious intercession. Where do you see that cycle in your own life? How does it change things to know Jesus never gets fed up and never stops interceding for you?

6. The bronze serpent required only one thing — look and live. No ritual, no earning it, just look. What makes simple, empty-handed faith so difficult? What gets in the way?
