2. Numbers 17:3-4 [HCSB]
Write Aaron's name on Levi's staff, because there

3. Numbers 17:5-6 [HCSB]
The staff of the man I choose will sprout, and I
will rid Myself of the Israelites' complaints that
they have been making about you. “So Moses
spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders
gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of
their ancestral houses, 12 staffs in all. Aaron's
staff was among them.

5. The story of Scripture in four simple words:
Creation, Fall, Redemption,& Restoration.
Redemption: The price paid so that we can
be Restored.
Restoration: Put back in God’s image and in
perfect Relationship with Him.
We want a “work” that shows us we are
working out our salvation.
God’s work for us: Believe In Jesus!
(John 6:29)

6. Our work in Redemption: trust Jesus, let the
Holy Spirit work in us & we get the credit.
Being Restored = Being Changed
Good Works = Filthy Rags without Jesus.
Earthly restoration not going well? Don’t take
offense at Jesus for it but let Him be your
defense in your efforts. (Matthew 11:1-6)
