Blanket Creek
Scripture was from Numbers 21:1-10. “The Bronze Snake.” That snake is Satan himself. There is not a person alive who has not been bitten by this snake at some point in time. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory God. The Israelites did nothing but complain when they were escaping the bondage of Egypt. We do the same thing. We live in the greatest country on earth but we do nothing but complain. The only way to escape the bondage of the snake is to turn our eyes upon Jesus. Please remember the families of Carolyn Sue Sullivan, Sharon Straus Remley, Jerry Prewitt and Sharon Miller.
