Lessons from the Wilderness

The Israelites journeyed from Egypt to the Promised Land and God was with them, blessing them with food and protection. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10 that many times on their journey, God was very displeased with the Israelites. Paul wrote about five specific things the Israelites did that sorely displeased God. We need to be alert that we do not repeat their serious mistakes!
