Must we be Trained only by our own Failures, or can we learn from the failures of others?

1. DON’T BLAME YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

 Blessings Israel enjoyed:

1. They were ALL under the cloud.
2. They ALL passed through the sea.
3. They were ALL baptized into Moses.
4. They ALL ate the same spiritual food.
5. They ALL drank the same spiritual drink.

2. WE HAVE WANDERING HEARTS.

 Ways Israel wandered:

1.  Idolatry - Anything you serve more than God
2. Sexual Immorality
3. Grumbling
4. Testing God - Numbers 14:22-23

3. WE CAN HAVE WISE HEARTS.

NEXT STEP with God

• …talk to God about what things are drawing my heart in unhealthy ways.
• …begin reading Exodus 13-32 and Numbers 11-14, looking for Israel’s 10 failures.
• …talk to someone about beginning a personal relationship          with God.
• …invite a friend to learn from the past too – by joining us for this  teaching series.
