Welcome to The Oceanside Sanctuary! This week, co-lead minister Jason Coker of Oceanside Sanctuary dives into the complex dynamic of power through the lens of Numbers 11.

Through the ancient story of Moses, the manna, and the quail, Jason explores how centralized, hoarded power becomes dangerous and why democratizing power is essential to truly care for our communities. He also shares candid reflections on his background in Pentecostal spaces and sets the stage for our upcoming teaching series, "The Spirit of Power," based on the book of Acts.

Key Topics Covered:

• Moses' frustration and the limitations of centralized authority.

• The story of Eldad and Medad, and how God's Spirit cannot be contained or controlled.

• The dangers of craving, concentrating, and hoarding power.

• Why power is fundamentally good when it is shared and distributed to meet people's needs.
