- 0:00Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:02Huddle for April 29, 2025. Your
- 0:06two-minute play of the day for applying
- 0:08God's word in your life. So, let's
- 0:10huddle up and hear today's play from
- 0:12Numbers 35 that says, "Command the
- 0:15Israelites to give the Levites towns to
- 0:18live in from the inheritance of the
- 0:20Israelites and give them pasture lands
- 0:23around the towns. Then they will have
- 0:25towns to live in and pasture lands for
- 0:28the cattle they own and all their
- 0:29animals. In all, you must give the
- 0:31Levites 48 towns together with their
- 0:34pasture lands. The towns you give the
- 0:36Levites from the land the Israelites
- 0:39possess are to be given in proportion to
- 0:41the inheritance of each tribe. Take many
- 0:44towns from a tribe that has many, but
- 0:47few from one that has few.
- 0:50You know, after God divided or his plans
- 0:53to divide the promised land of Israel,
- 0:55he scattered the priests of God among
- 0:58those tribes by commanding their
- 1:00inheritance to be among the cities. The
- 1:02Levitical tribe was not granted a
- 1:05portion of land like the other tribes
- 1:07that formed the 12 tribes of Israel. The
- 1:10Levites were given cities within those
- 1:12tribes to live among the people of each
- 1:15tribe to remind them and teach them of
- 1:18God's ways. the cities where the
- 1:20majority of the people are. That is
- 1:22where God wanted the most influence. The
- 1:25Levites were to keep all Israel in
- 1:27obedience to everything God commanded.
- 1:30The church has fled the cities,
- 1:32preferring the suburbs and leaving to
- 1:34corruption, chaos, poverty, and demise
- 1:37the cities of our nation. The church is
- 1:40the salt and the light of the world.
- 1:42It's to influence all the nations of the
- 1:44world toward obedience to everything
- 1:47Jesus commands. This work is harder now
- 1:50for the church to re-engage the cities,
- 1:52obeying his command to go and influence
- 1:55them toward Christ. The church must
- 1:57learn to serve the city so that it can
- 1:59create influence among the inhabitants
- 2:01of the city, particularly its
- 2:04leadership. Everywhere in the world, the
- 2:06city should be the focus of the church's
- 2:08mission, the great commission. Until all
- 2:11cities everywhere recognize Jesus as
- 2:14Savior and Lord, this work will be hard
- 2:17and dangerous. But this world is not our
- 2:20home. We look forward to a new Jerusalem
- 2:23whose king is Jesus upon a new earth
- 2:26where no more death, sickness, or evil
- 2:28of any kind exists. Until then, the
- 2:31church must act like the Levites of old
- 2:34and occupy the cities, working for their
- 2:36salvation until Jesus returns.
