King Balak thinks he has a problem. The Israelites are camped on his doorstep threatening to take over the place. So he comes up with a plan to pay a well-known mystic called, Balaam, to come and curse them.

​The plan goes wrong in comic ways. Who has the power? Balak? His money? Balaam, the mystic? Or...

How to respond to suffering (Numbers 21:4-9)

We live in a world full of suffering. Our newspapers are full of it and often it is a reality in our lives or the lives of those we love.

​We might ask, 'Why is there suffering?', but perhaps a more important question is, 'How should I respond to suffering?' This will include compassion, prayer and where possible practical help. But more fundamentally how do you respond spiritually or what do you see as the ultimate reason for suffering?

In this story Moses is told that he has gone against God wishes and as such will not lead the people into the Promised Land. But what has Moses done wrong? Hasn't he performed the miracle God wanted him to perform and given the people the water they needed?

​It turns out it is not what Moses did, but the way that he did it that was the problem...

Which religion? (Numbers 16-17)

There are lots of different religions in the world. How do we decide which one to follow? How do we choose between different religious leaders?

​In this story in Numbers, people are questioning Moses's and Aaron's right to be their religious leader. However, God demonstrates that they are his choice of leader.

​In the same way God demonstrates to us that Jesus is his choice as our leader.

​What could go wrong? Fear through lack of faith that leads to a terrible rejection of God and his plan with devastating consequences.
