Numbers 13:1-33

Introduction: With the Red Sea in the rear view mirror, and while following their leader Moses, God’s people came to a crossroads….the promised land. Are you facing a decision? Does the road fork in front of you and you don’t know which direction to take? As demonstrated by Caleb and Joshua, the right (2) turns will lead to “Your Place of Blessing”!

1. In order to get to “Your Place of Blessing,” make the right turn to OVERCOME the Giants of OPPOSITION! (Num 13:31-34)
” But the men that went up said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we are….And they brought an evil report….all the people that we saw are men of great stature…..and we saw the giants….and we were as grasshoppers in their sight.” [After sending out 12 men to investigate the PROMISED land, 10 came back with grasshopper faith, instead of giant-killing faith.]
• Giants of fear (v 31)
• Giants of failure (v 32)
• Giants of Forgetfulness (v 33)

2. In order to get to “Your Place of Blessing,” make the right turn to OVERCOME the Giants with RESOLUTION!
(Num 13:2,30)
“Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan which I give unto the children of Israel…..And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.”
• The Promise (Num 13:1, 2)
• The Problem (Num 13:30)
• The Provision (Num 13:30)
