In Case of Snakebite, Look Up

Teacher: Pastor Chris Alford
Series: Sunday Teaching
Passage: Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:14-21
Service Type: Lent

Snakes! God sent fiery serpents into the wilderness camp of the Children of Israel. Many of them were bitten and some died. The remedy? Looking up. God had Moses make a bronze serpent so that the people could look up at it, in faith, and be healed. Why a serpent? And why did Jesus use that event in the desert as an example when Nicodemus came to Him at night to ask if Jesus was the Anointed One? Join us in the wilderness of a Lenten journey and find out!

Topics: bronze serpent, desert temptation, Jesus, Lenten Journey, Moses, Nicodemus, wilderness
