When Korah led a rebellion, God reaffirmed Moses as His chosen leader. When the people complained about water, God provided it through a rock. Later, their impatience led to a plague of poisonous snakes. God instructed Moses to make a bronze snake, and anyone who looked at it was healed. This story reminds us that while our sin deserves death, we are saved when we look to Jesus with faith.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This message will inspire your child to grow in the love and light of Jesus. Reinforce the lesson at home by discussing the following points with your child:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trusting God in Hard Times<\/strong>: The Israelites complained instead of trusting God. How can we show trust in God when life is hard?<\/li>\n<li><strong>God\u2019s Provision<\/strong>: God gave water from a rock and healing through the bronze snake. How does God provide for us today?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Looking to Jesus<\/strong>: The Israelites were saved by looking at the bronze snake. How does looking to Jesus save us from sin?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You might consider praying with your child,<strong> asking God for a trusting heart and thanking Him for His provision and salvation through Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Grace and blessings in Christ.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvirginiaagape.org%2Fagape%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F01%2F2025-0126_The-People-Complained_newsletter.pdf&hl=en_US&embedded=true\" class=\"gde-frame\" style=\"width:100%; height:600px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<p class=\"gde-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/virginiaagape.org\/agape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025-0126_The-People-Complained_newsletter.pdf\" class=\"gde-link\">Download (PDF, Unknown)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 26, 2025, VAIBC Children\u2019s Cell Newsletter Dear Parents, This week, we have the opportunity to explore the teachings of \u201cThe People Complained\u201d (Numbers 16; 20-21).
