In this sermon, Ridley Barron preached about the importance of gratitude and trust in God's provision. Drawing from the story of the Israelites in Numbers 21, he examined how spiritual arrogance can lead to an ungrateful heart and a distorted view of God's promises. Barron emphasized the significance of maintaining a humble heart and the necessity of confession in our relationship with God. He highlighted the broader biblical narrative, connecting the Old Testament account to the New Testament message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Barron encouraged listeners to embrace the simplicity of looking to Jesus for salvation, underscoring God's love and the gift of eternal life. Ending with a call to action, he urged believers to uplift Jesus in their communities so others might also come to experience God's grace and healing.
