The Lord Would Not Listen To Your Voice
We’ll consider today what biblical repentance looks like, and the only way in which it can be effective, as we examine Israel’s own misplaced repentance in this passage.

By Raising Him From The Dead
Our culture influences how we think about religion. Certainly it has had an impact on the church’s efforts to share the gospel. Well today in Marin County and the Bay Area, we continue to see this. One of the things the culture is actively pushing for is a spirit of tolerance in the area of religion. This call for tolerance can take various extreme forms. As we look at this passage, we’ll consider some different extremes of this idea of tolerance, and see how Paul balances a proper sense of tolerance with God’s call to evangelize.

You Murmured In Your Tents
Have you ever murmured? Maybe we don’t use that word much. In our passage we see Israel murmuring. Murmuring is something often done in private, either to yourself, or to a small audience. The word here in verse 27 could also be translated as “whisper,” or maybe even “grumble.” Usually when the bible talks about the sin of murmuring it’s referring to that quiet complaining that we like do.
Well, the sin of murmuring is one of several sins in this passage. And yet in many ways it’s the sin of murmuring that becomes so devastating here for Israel. And of course, the sin of murmuring is really something that reveals the condition of their heart. It’s not so much that murmuring causes a heart to go hard, but that a hard heart results in murmuring. And yet murmuring can be so destructive because it can then sow further seeds of unbelief and discouragement among yourself and with others. This is all a part of what we see going on in this passage with the nation of Israel. And so today I want us to look at this sin of murmuring, both with Israel, and with us. But of course, most of all, we’ll be looking again this morning at the gospel of Jesus Christ, even as we think about the sin of murmuring.
