SURVIVING THE WILDERNESS
The necessity of maintaining the community of God
SERMON ONE Speaking to a colleague about preaching in the book of Numbers and eliciting the response: 'after the story of the spies what else is there'.
Decided to remind myself of what else and share it with you.
Precursor to Pentecost: Numbers 11:29
Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit on them!'
Fringe benefit: Numbers 15:39

I think the senior pastor, Neil Ryan, may be a little nervous about today. He is in Brisbane preaching at the induction of a friend and colleague into a pastorate and wanted to make a real contribution to the occasion. We are having a significant business meeting in his absence and has left a statement which is to be read. He knows I am preaching on a passage of scripture where the significant event is getting rid of the vast majority of the people gathered.
Words from the verge - Deuteronomy 10:12-22; 8:11-20; 30:11-20 - Barry Lines
WORDS FROM THE VERGE
(Words from Deuteronomy)
Good morning girls and boys of all generations.
Today is the first day of the rest of your lives.
We are to do some revision on some basic lessons.
In May I introduced, through the front page of the Bulletin, Robert Fulghum's book: All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten. We identified some basic truths for living in community.
"So send I you" - John 20: 19 - 31 - Barry Lines
SO SEND I YOU
John 20: 19 & 31
I find it an amazing coincidence that my preaching today has led me to a theme which I followed on the same Sunday of September last year at the Hobart Baptist Church.
It was the launch of Operation Andrew in the lead up to the Franklin Graham Festival Tasmania in March this year.
Operation Andrew encourages the identification of those to whom an invitation to the Festival will be given. They are prayed for, spent time with and cared for.
