Joshua 24; Judges 1-2
Welcome to the Reality Church Podcast!This week, Pastor Carlos Lollett delivers a powerful message from Joshua 24, challenging us to consider what it means to establish a home that impacts generations. In his farewell address, Joshua calls the people of Israel to renew their covenant with God, urging them to make a decisive commitment: “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”Through this message, we explore three essential principles for building a generational faith legacy:1️⃣ Pick a Side – True faith requires unwavering conviction. We cannot mix the kingdom of God with the kingdom of self.2️⃣ Repent Sincerely – Hollow words of commitment are not enough; genuine repentance leads to transformation.3️⃣ Take Personal Ownership – A thriving faith starts at home, with leaders who live out their convictions daily.Are you ready to trust in God's divine intent for your home? Let's commit to serving the Lord together.
Send us a text"Renewing Your Vows" (Joshua 24:1-28)Welcome to today's episode! In the spirit of renewing our commitments, we explore Joshua's powerful call for Israel to reaffirm its covenant with God. Just as couples renew their marriage vows to recommit to one another, Joshua challenges the nation—and us—to reflect on God's gracious acts and to renew our own spiritual vows. Join us as we rediscover the joy of wholeheartedly choosing to serve the Lord, today and every day.Episode NotesHistorical and Spiritual Context:Joshua gathers all the tribes at Shechem—a place steeped in biblical significance—to recount God's mighty deeds from Abraham to the deliverance from Egypt and the conquest of the land.This setting, rich with memories of divine intervention and covenant, makes it the perfect place for a renewed commitment.Key Themes and Points:Remembering God's Faithfulness:Joshua reminds the people of God's work in rescuing their forefathers, delivering them from Egypt, and providing for them in a land they did not labor for.The narrative underscores that every blessing in their lives is a result of God's grace.Renewing Your Commitment:Joshua's address is essentially a call to renew the covenant—a spiritual vow to serve the Lord wholeheartedly.The people are invited to make a conscious decision to forsake idols and reaffirm their allegiance to God.Practical Application for Today:Just as the Israelites renewed their vows, we too can take a moment to reflect on our own spiritual journey.Consider writing down or verbally affirming your renewed commitment to follow the Lord, ensuring that nothing—no worldly idol—takes precedence over God.The Dual Call – Love and Fear:Joshua commands the people to love the Lord, serve Him faithfully, and fear Him in the sense of reverence and respect.This balanced approach reminds us that while God's grace is abundant, our commitment must be deliberate and unyielding.Action Steps:Reflect on the ways God has transformed your life and delivered you from past struggles.Evaluate any modern-day idols that might be distracting you from a deeper relationship with Him.Consider renewing your spiritual vows—whether by writing them down, praying over them, or sharing them with a trusted friend—as a tangible reminder of your commitment.Thank you for joining us on this journey of renewed commitment. May the truths of Joshua 24 inspire you to say, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord,” every single day.

Program for 03/11/25 "Best of" SAS Chapel: Joshua 24
Welcome to Day 2569 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2569– Old Testament Orientation – The Historical Books - Lessons from Israel's Journey – Joshua 24:22-24 Putnam Church Message – 02/16/2025 Sermon Series: Old Testament Orientation Message 6: The Historical Books – Lessons from Israel's Journey Last week, we continued our Old Testament Orientation series, exploring the Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, and Sacrifice from an ancient Israelite perspective. This week, we will focus on The Books of Historical Narrative and how the ancient Israelites experienced and would have understood them. Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, as we explore the historical books of Your Word, open our eyes to the lessons You have woven into these narratives. Help us see Your faithfulness, the consequences of disobedience, and the call to trust in You wholeheartedly. Let these ancient stories shape our present lives and lead us into a deeper relationship with You. In Jesus' name, Amen. Introduction Imagine standing on the plains of Moab, looking across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The anticipation is palpable. The journey has been long and arduous, filled with moments of doubt and divine intervention. The generation before had faltered in faith, wandering for forty years. Now, a new generation is poised to claim the inheritance. The tension is thick with anticipation and uncertainty. What will the future hold? This is the reality for Israel as they step into the Promised Land. As the Israelites prepare to enter, they carry with them stories of faith, rebellion, conquest, and covenant. These narratives, captured in the Historical Books of the Old Testament, serve not only as a record of Israel's past but as a mirror reflecting the spiritual journey of every believer. The Historical Books—Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther—chronicle the journey of God's people from the conquest of Canaan to the return from exile and restoration of Jerusalem. Through their stories, we glean insights into God's character, human nature, and the principles that guide a life of faith. Main Points (Bulletin) God as Faithful Guide and Deliverer (Joshua) Introduction: Picture the scene as if you were an ancient Israelite: Imagine standing on the threshold of a new beginning. Their leader, Moses, had passed away, and now Joshua must lead. They have seen God's power before, but will He be faithful again? After wandering for 40 years, the Israelites stand at the brink of the Jordan River. The Promised Land lies ahead, a land flowing with milk and honey, yet occupied by formidable foes. Fear and uncertainty grip the hearts of many. It is in this moment that Joshua, their appointed leader, steps forward with a message of assurance. Joshua 1:13: “Remember what Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you: ‘The Lord your God is giving you a place of rest. He has given you this land.'” Narrative: The Book of Joshua recounts the Israelites' entry into Canaan under Joshua's leadership. God's faithfulness is evident as He delivers Jericho into their hands through miraculous means. Joshua leads the...

Message from Lyndsay Slocum on February 9, 2025
As Joshua's life drew to a close, he gathered the Hebrews in Shechem for a final address and charged the people to choose if they would serve God who did everything for them or idols as their fathers did.

Verses in order of appearance: Joshua 24:1-3 Genesis 12:6-7 Genesis 35:4 Joshua 24:4-13 Joshua 24:14-15 Isaiah 8:13 Luke 12:4-5 Joshua 24:16-21 Joshua 24:22-24 Joshua 24:25-27 Ezekiel 33:31-32 Titus 1:16 Psalm 51:10

In today's message, we'll see how Joshua confronted his people, exposing their hypocrisy, revealing their sin, and highlighting the consequences they face. We will also witness their response to this confrontation and the transformation that follows. Our focus will be on the shift from mere service to true sanctification, in a message titled, "From Service to Sanctification." Joshua 24:21-24 “21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. 23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. 24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.”

Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell.
