Routines. We all have them, some good, some not. As we finish up the book of Numbers, the Lord establishes daily, weekly, monthly, and annual routines that are good for his Old Testament people. Does he do the same for us? #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofNumbers #Routines #QuietTime #SeekTheLord

The Israelites’ constant complaining showed a lack of trust in God despite His provision and led to painful consequences. We’re called to turn from grumbling and fix our eyes on Jesus, where we find forgiveness and peace. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofNumbers #ChooseGratitude #FixYourEyesOnJesus #StopComplaining

Do you ever have to learn things "the hard way"? Unfortunately, we all sometimes do. But that is not God's best for us. In Pastor Clark's sermon, he shows how God's people in the wilderness were meant to be examples for us so that we wouldn't have to learn the hard way! #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofNumbers #StayOrGo #GodProvides

The Book of Numbers reveals how the Israelites failed to keep God at the center, choosing fear over faith and facing the consequences. Yet God remains faithful, pointing to Jesus and reminding us that true purpose comes from putting Him first. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofNumbers #FaithOverFear #PutGodFirst

How did the Old Testament people know that God accepted their sacrifices and they were truly forgiven? How can we truly know that God accepted Jesus's sacrifice on our behalf as well? Can we know for sure? #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #Bookof Leviticus #Accepted #HeIsRisen

Like forgotten passwords, sin kept people locked out of God’s presence, and sacrifices could only cover the problem. Jesus became the true “password,” opening direct access to God through His sacrifice. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #Bookof Leviticus #PasswordProblem #Hosanna

Have you ever designed a perfect plan for somebody only to have them make a total mess of it? God’s plan for his Old Testament people was amazing! How did His people respond? #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofExodus #PerfectPlan #ChosenPeople

Pastor Ryan reflects on the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt and how it reminded them of God’s past deliverance, gave them reasons to praise Him, and pointed to promises still to come. In the same way, it shows us what we need for our daily journey—reminders of God’s faithfulness, a heart ready to worship, and confidence in the future He has promised through Christ. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofExodus #JourneyWithGod
