Noah stared at the girl in his cage. Kill. Must kill. He stalked towards her, and as he got closer he towered over her. All of them needed to die, she was human, and she was the enemy. Noah felt all the strength leave his body. Something else scared him much more though: he felt stirrings of energy, something more than his primitive thoughts could comprehend.Adrienne saw the change in his eyes: they had been flat and empty - and she had no doubt they were a product of the cell he was in. It took less than a heartbeat but she saw the shift in him, the warmth that took him over.She needed him to be beside her as she navigated the dangerous path her sister was on, and he needed her in a way words could not articulate.Could Noah, the one who had lied to her, be Adrienne's saviour in the mess her life was quickly becoming?

Something in us aches for moremore hope, more joy, more freedom. All around us people are dancing to the steps of bigger, better, and faster, and we can easily join in without even realizing it. Before long complaining and comparing accompany our desire for more, yet we're not any closer to filling the ache inside. God offers us another way. In this study of the Book of Numbers, we'll find a group of people that wandered in the desert for forty years, unable to enter the Promised Land because of their complaining, grumbling, and lack of faith. The New Testament tells us that their story was written to warn us (1 Corinthians 10:6) so that we would not make the same mistakes and suffer the same consequences. God sent his only Son to die to buy our freedom from the sin that leads to discontentment, and we find our own promised land of peace and contentment in the life he gives us.By exploring Numbers we can come to identify the reasons for our complaining, learn contentment while being authentic about the difficulties of life, accept short-term hardship in light of the greater good of God's ultimate deliverance, recognize the relationship between complaining and worry, and discover how to realign with God's character and promises.Together we will learn contentment as we discover more of our incredible God who truly is more than enough. Only God can fill that ache inside and help us focus on his provision and purpose in the midst of life's joys and pains.The Leader Guide, to be used along with the study's workbook and DVD, contains six session plan outlines, complete with discussion points and questions, activities, prayers, and moreplus leader helps for facilitating a group.Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Participant Workbook, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study's components).
