Aunt Gingie Season 28 Episode 16

After years in the desert, the Israelites grumble again when water runs out. Moses loses his patience and strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, and God sadly tells him he will not lead the people into Canaan. Later, as the people complain, poisonous snakes sweep through the camp. God gives a surprising rescue plan. Moses lifts a bronze snake on a pole, and everyone who looks in faith is healed. This story points to Jesus, who would be lifted up on the cross so that everyone who believes in Him can live forever. 

Talk about it:

  • Why was striking the rock a problem, and what can we learn about trusting God?
  • What happened when people chose to look at the bronze snake?
  • How does this story help you understand what Jesus did on the cross?
  • What is one way you can choose faith when you feel afraid?
