A few more weeks and for many among us a new season will start. Do you feel ready for it? Last week we considered the possibility that you might not feel ready. That you feel nervous and anxious about things upcoming. We learnt that we should then remind ourselves of all God’s faithfulness in our lives. But what if we ready and confident for what is coming? Because we have seen so much of God’s faithfulness? And because currently we do not see great obstacles on the way? Then we have still to be alert! Upcoming Sunday we will see how God’s people set out from Mount Sinai to travel to the promised land. There were no signs of big upcoming troubles. Only a man with the name Hobab says he doesn’t want to join them. Should they bother about this? Be so welcome upcoming Sunday to hear the next sermon in the new sermon series `Numbers for grumblers’ and see what the Lord teaches you for your daily life!

Treasure Seekers

God chose the Israelites to be his people.  He is now teaching them how to live as his people…but already they are wanting to do it their own way.  At Treasure Seekers this week, the children learn from the Israelites’ mistake!

Lesson Title: The Golden Calf

Text: Exodus 32:1-35

Big Idea: While Moses was away, Israel made a statue of what they thought God was like. This angered God, but Moses asked him not to destroy them.

Teaching Aim: To understand that it is dangerous to decide for ourselves what God is like. Instead, we learn from Jesus exactly what God is like and trust him.

The memory verse for the Exodus-to-Joshua series is: “Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.” (Joshua 21:45)
