God calls us to more than just being set free—He calls us to possess His promises. Like Joshua facing the impossible after Moses died, we're called to step forward in faith. God is with you, not to remove battles, but to give you strength to face them and take new ground.

Even during times of calm and security, the honest truth is, there are very few examples of really strong and steady leaders.It's a given then that when times are scary, brave leaders that reassure us are really needed…but really rare!The Bible speaks of one such person.Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”Joshua was an especially passionate and courageous leader. A born leader. God used him during a time the Israelites were ‘going all wobbly,' as a political leader once said.The Israelites had seen it all. A plague in Egypt. An army bearing down on them. Mass hunger. Homelessness for years.But Joshua played it all with a chip on his shoulder. An edge of anger, really that caused him to never be afraid. In his community, he was boss—and everyone knew it. God made him that way.In your own community—your family at home, your church family, a group of scared coworkers—be a Joshua. Be strong and courageous. Set your feet so that your legs don't go wobbly, and then tell your people that God has this.He is with you, wherever this situation goes.Let's pray. Lord, Joshua is our human example of courage. Help us keep others safe and calm in the midst of crisis. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Life is a continuous season of preparation, and this principle extends deeply into our spiritual journey. Scripture shows us that when we faithfully prepare our hearts and resources, we position ourselves for God to move in extraordinary ways. Like Joshua preparing the Israelites for the Promised Land, we need spiritual provisions including prepared leaders to follow and personal consecration. Preparation involves setting ourselves apart for God's purposes, sharing our testimony with the next generation, and committing to consistent prayer. However, preparation must eventually lead to action - we must step into the water and trust God for the miracle, knowing that while we prepare faithfully, the victory belongs to the Lord.

This powerful message centers on a prophetic word for 2026: 'Charge!' We're called to move forward decisively, taking ground and claiming victories that belong to us through Christ. Drawing from Psalm 103:20-22, we discover that angels excel in strength and hearken to the voice of God's word—but they need us to speak it. Our words carry divine authority; when we declare Scripture over our lives, we literally put heavenly forces into motion. The message emphasizes that we owe Jesus the fruit of the impossible in our lives—everything He paid for on the cross should manifest in our experience. This isn't about our worthiness or effort, but about the finished work of Christ. Our faith doesn't move God; rather, it repositions us to receive what He's already accomplished. As we take communion and remember what Jesus has done, we're invited to see 2026 as a year of supernatural increase, restored dreams, and breakthrough in every area. Like Joshua and Caleb who waited 40 years to enter their promise, some dreams haven't died—they've just been dormant, waiting for the right timing. The Holy Spirit is breathing on those embers right now, reigniting fires we thought had gone out forever.

Leadership is warfare—and every battle is about inheritance. In Part 2 of our Joshua series, we move from theory to the field. We confront Amalek, expose compromise, and align under the Captain of the Lord's Host. Presence-led beats personality-led. If you're ready to fight smart, win clean, and take territory, this episode gives you the plan.What you'll learn in Part 2:Why opposition often confirms your assignment—and how to fight the right battlesHow jealousy for God's honor sharpens your leadership decisionsThe power of being overshadowed by the Captain—leading from Presence, not egoFrom Joshua to Jesus: how true rest and inheritance are fulfilled in ChristHow to activate latent leadership in critical momentsMoving from the border to breakthrough: sight, steps, and stakesActionable takeaways:Identify your “Amalek” (the pattern that attacks your forward motion) and set a daily battle rhythm (Word, prayer, action)Ask two brothers to cover you in prayer for 30 days as you take new groundAudit your atmosphere: what will you sanctify, stop, and start this week?Consecrate decisions: “Captain, what are Your orders?” Obey the first clear stepReplace “what if” with “even if”—then take a 24-hour action toward your next milestoneKeep your sword sharp: memorize one battle verse per week for the next four weeksThis is your call-up: lead with holy aggression and humble dependence. Take your orders. Take your ground. Lead. Fight. Win.

What you'll learn in Part 1:The difference between salvation from and salvation unto—and why your calling demands bothHow Joshua models Kingdom leadership that moves men from wandering to winningWhy preparation in the wilderness is non‑negotiable for spiritual authorityThe “secret history with God” that makes a man unshakeablePractical steps to identify and claim the next territory God is entrusting to youActionable takeaways:Define one territory you will take in the next 30 days (home, habits, health, finance, calling)Establish a non‑negotiable daily meeting with God (time, place, plan)Choose one comfort to lay down for 30 days as wilderness training for your willJournal this prompt: “When God tests me, He's trusting me with more—what is He trusting me with now?”This episode is for Kingdom-driven men ready to lead with courage, obedience, and clarity—at home, in the marketplace, and in the church. Be strong and courageous. It's time to step into your inheritance.

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."—2 Corinthians 3:18 Let us suppose that in each of our minds is a natural law: "By beholding, we become changed." —Christ's Object Lessons, p. 355. What themes might we choose to behold? God has offered us a tremendous variety of literature, in style and content. Here is a summary report published in the Review and Herald, June 16, 1994, and written by Marilyn Thomsen, Southern California Conference communication director: John ...

Hebrews 11:30-31

Satan works very hard at causing Christians to forget the plot God wants us to live out. He wants us to forget who the main character is. He wants us to forget God's purposes, and why we were created. This Sunday we will be looking at the Old Testament hero Joshua. What made Joshua great was that Joshua understood that God was the hero of his story, and that his job was to follow God's leadership in his life. Don't miss this: letting God lead your life is radical. Our stories may not be written in the history books like Joshua, but in God's eyes, our lives hold just as much value and significance as Joshua. Pastor Tyce Jensen, the President of the Berean Fellowship, will be encouraging us from to be radical like Joshua, courageously following God's leadership. For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49496617

Life is full of change—new roles, responsibilities, and transitions. These moments test our maturity. Like Joshua stepping into leadership, we don't always know the plan, but God does. In the uncertainty, His promise is our anchor. Maturity means trusting His presence and His blueprint even when the path is unclear.

Like Joshua, to step into God's promises, we must be strong and courageous. His presence–with us and within us–makes strength and courage possible. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion What truths about God's character (Exodus 34:6–7) help you trust Him even when you don't fully understand His ways? Can you share a time when you had to trust God's character in a confusing or challenging season of your own life? Are there specific practices (daily reading, journaling, Scripture memory, group study) that help you stand firm on God's promises? Where do you want to grow in this area? How can we, as a church family, remind one another of God's presence in both ordinary life and God-sized challenges?

Like Joshua, choose to serve God and be committed to following Him, trusting Him to bring to pass His will in His timing.

In this sermon from Joshua 1, we see God calling Joshua and the new generation of Israel to cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land He promised centuries earlier. The lesson is clear: God's promises are certain, but receiving them requires courageous faith, obedience to His Word, and a willingness to step into the unknown. Drawing from Israel's history, New Testament truths, and real-life applications, this sermon challenges us to stop settling for a fraction of what God offers. Whether it's peace, joy, love, or purpose, God has already said “yes” to every spiritual blessing in Christ — but we must walk in them. Like Joshua, we face our own “Jordan Rivers” that test our trust and commitment. Will we remain in the wilderness, or will we step forward in strength, courage, and obedience to claim the fullness of what God has prepared?

The psalmist stated to God in verse 94,, "I am Yours." At different stages of my life I've been my parents', my own and my wife's. God has the greatest authority and influence in my life, so overarching all parts of my life since 1983 (when I was first gave my life to God) I also declare that, "I am Yours, God!" I do this by wanting to spend time with God, by wanting to base my life on His commands and by realising that I am not my own. Like Joshua proclaimed to the Israelites before he died, "Choose this day who you will serve." Let's all decide to all rely and depend on God, regularly affirming in both actions and words that, "I am Yours, God!"The script for the whole Service can be read here.

There are divinely appointed periods and seasons in our lives when Heaven mandates us to return to the drawing board to courageously re-examine our strength, strategy, and spiritual resources both as followers and leaders. This sacred process of recalibration prevents us from becoming overwhelmed and spiritually depleted, as we witnessed with Moses in Numbers chapter 11. Here was a man who had witnessed the miraculous exodus from Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and received the Law on Mount Sinai, yet found himself crying out to God: "I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me" (Numbers 11:14-15). Moses' crisis wasn't a failure of faith but a failure to adapt his leadership approach to the evolving demands of his assignment.In our current global landscape—marked by unprecedented technological disruption, shifting geopolitical alliances, economic instability, and cultural transformation—updating our visionary approach as we move toward our assigned purpose of existence is not merely advisable; it is prophetically critical. The strategies that sustained us through yesterday's battles may prove inadequate for tomorrow's territories. Like Joshua, who had to transition from being Moses' aide to becoming Israel's conquering general, we must recognize when God is calling us to step into new dimensions of leadership and influence that require fresh wisdom and renewed vision.What you see and how you see in this kairos season plays a heroic role in determining not just your survival, but your advancement into divine purpose. Vision is the compass of destiny—it determines direction, reveals resources, and releases faith for the impossible. Yet if you allow the fear of uncertainty, the weight of current limitations, and the disappointments of past setbacks to cloud your prophetic vision, you will suddenly lose the spiritual confidence and supernatural ability to see into the next assignment you are ordained to carry out in God's overarching purpose for your life. When leaders lose vision, nations lose direction. When the church loses prophetic sight, generations lose hope. The enemy understands this, which is why his primary strategy in seasons of transition is to assault our capacity to see clearly into God's intended future.

Building a legacy of faith requires more than remembering God's past faithfulness—it demands active recommitment to His call. Like Joshua who set up stones of remembrance, we must mark spiritual milestones while making deliberate choices to follow God wholeheartedly. When facing obstacles, we often want to avoid them, but it's precisely in these challenging moments that God reveals His power. Legacy isn't built on miracles alone but on consistent decisions to serve, sacrifice, and stay faithful. Today is your 'Shechem moment'—a time to not just celebrate what God has done but to recommit to participating in His ongoing story.

In week 5 of the Talking Jesus series, Pastor Torry Sheppard brings a timely and tender word for those who've been faithfully sharing their faith—but are still waiting to see results. This message encourages believers to persevere when the work of evangelism feels slow, discouraging, or seemingly unfruitful—especially when it involves someone they love. Pastor Torry opens by acknowledging a common, heartfelt question: What do I do when I've done everything I know to do? Whether it's a child, a spouse, or a close friend, long-game evangelism often means walking with people for years without visible progress. And that can be exhausting. This message is a reminder that although the journey is slow, it's sacred—and that God is still working. A Hiking Story with a Spiritual Twist To illustrate this, Pastor Torry tells a humorous and revealing story from a college trip to Utah, where he and a group of friends mistakenly knocked over the very rock stacks—called cairns—meant to guide their hike through the desert. After getting lost, they realized they had been dismantling the very markers that were supposed to help them get to their destination and return home. The story sets up the central theme: in the long, dry stretches of spiritual influence, we need markers of faith to keep us grounded and encouraged. Without them, it's easy to lose our way. Evangelism is rarely instant. It's a journey—and one that often requires more endurance than enthusiasm. Part 1: Stacking Stones – Keeping Your Faith Alive Drawing from Joshua 4, Pastor Torry reflects on Israel's entrance into the Promised Land. After God parted the Jordan River, Joshua instructed the people to gather twelve stones as a memorial. These stones weren't just for celebration—they were for remembrance. They told future generations: God was here. He moved. He delivered. What's striking is that Joshua also set up a private altar in the riverbed—stones no one else would see once the water returned. Pastor Torry suggests these hidden stones were personal—a reminder for Joshua himself. Because even the strongest leaders are prone to forget God's faithfulness. Like Joshua, we need to “stack stones” along our spiritual journey—moments of answered prayer, miracles, or breakthroughs that we can return to when doubt creeps in. Sometimes the best way to encourage our soul is to remember what God has already done. Part 2: Spiritual Influence Over the Long Haul With our personal faith fortified, Pastor Torry shifts focus to how we can maintain spiritual influence when nothing seems to be changing. He outlines three key commitments that keep us in the game: 1. Prayer Prayer isn't passive—it's powerful. It's not just something we do while we wait; it's part of the work itself. Citing James 5, Pastor Torry reminds us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. He introduces five scriptural ways to pray for those far from God: Ask the Father to draw them (John 6:44) Bind the spirit that blinds them (2 Corinthians 4:4) Pray they experience a relationship, not just religion (Romans 8:15) Ask God to send people into their lives (Matthew 9:38) Pray for wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17) These intercessory prayers become spiritual warfare—asking God to soften hearts, remove barriers, and awaken a personal hunger for Him. 2. Patience Evangelism rarely moves at the pace we want. Pastor Torry challenges our “right now” expectations by reminding us that while God can move instantly, He often works over time. Just because something isn't visible doesn't mean it isn't happening. Our patience mirrors God's own—He was patient with us, and He calls us to be patient with others. Patience doesn't mean approval. It simply means we haven't given up hope. It gives us the grace to stay present even when change is slow. 3. Persistence Patience keeps us grounded. Persistence keeps us moving. Pastor Torry urges us not to pull back when results seem scarce. Citing 1 Corinthians 15:58, he reminds us that our labor in the Lord is not in vain. The breakthrough might not be immediate—but that doesn't mean it isn't coming. To illustrate, Pastor Torry shares a deeply personal story about his mother. After enduring three painful disappointments—including his grandfather walking away from the faith—she received a prophetic word that God would restore all three. Two came quickly. But for thirteen years, she prayed for her father. And then, one Sunday, the phone rang. He had gone to church and made things right. No fanfare—just a simple sentence. But behind it were thirteen years of persistence. Conclusion: Keep Playing the Long Game Faithful evangelism isn't always flashy. Sometimes it's quiet, repetitive, and unseen. But it matters. If you're carrying the burden of someone who seems far from God, don't lose heart. Stack your stones. Pray with power. Be patient. Stay persistent. Because your story may not be finished. And your faith might be the very thing God uses to bring someone else home.

Through Old Testament stories like Joshua's conquest narratives, readers discover God's unchanging character of justice and mercy, challenging the misconception of a God as a tribal deity. Wordsmith World City: Big Spring Address: Texas Website: https://bettyjohansen.com/

Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis 9/21/2003 Guiding Question: What does it look like when we forget that God means what He says—and how do we recover from the consequences? Summary: Robert Lewis walks through Joshua 7, highlighting Israel's crushing defeat at Ai following their victorious conquest of Jericho. This defeat, as he shows, came not from military weakness but from spiritual compromise—specifically Achan's secret sin and Joshua's failure to consult God. Drawing powerful parallels between Israel's journey into the Promised Land and the church's modern spiritual battles, Robert challenges listeners to take sin seriously, understand the corporate cost of personal compromise, and reaffirm that God truly means what He says. He calls on the next generation of church leaders to rise up with courage and commitment, not just coasting on the past victories of the church but writing a new chapter of obedience and faith. The message builds to the crucial reminder that the presence and power of God cannot dwell where hidden sin is tolerated. But he also offers hope: God's mercy is available to those who realign, confess, and take bold steps to remove spiritual compromise. Key Takeaways: New beginnings require new leaders. Just as Joshua succeeded Moses, the church needs a fresh generation to rise up with vision and commitment, not relying on past victories but stepping into present challenges with faith and courage. God means what He says. This is the most important life lesson. God's instructions aren't arbitrary—they're the foundation for life and flourishing. Ignoring them leads to collapse, no matter how successful we seem. Sin, even when hidden, has consequences. Achan's secret disobedience brought defeat to the entire nation. In the church, one person's compromise can weaken the whole body. Prosperity can blind us to obedience. After victory at Jericho, both Joshua and Achan slipped—Joshua by failing to consult God, and Achan by taking what God had banned. Comfort can dull our spiritual vigilance. Restoration begins with realignment, confession, and removal. Like Joshua and Israel, we must return to God, name sin for what it is, and decisively remove it—no matter the cost. Churches thrive when everyone participates. Great churches aren't built by a few committed people—they're built by a whole congregation stepping up together in obedience and sacrifice. Young leaders must not be soft on sin. The next generation must see obedience not as optional, but as the only pathway to experiencing God's power and presence. Key Scripture References: Joshua 7 – The sin of Achan, Israel's defeat at Ai, and the process of uncovering hidden sin. Joshua 5–6 – Preparation for Jericho and corporate obedience. Joshua 2 – Rahab's inclusion, showing that anyone who commits to God can be part of His story. Joshua 1 – Transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Verse Highlights: Joshua 7:1 – Achan's disobedience. Joshua 7:12 – "I will not be with you anymore." Joshua 7:19–21 – Achan's confession. Joshua 7:24–25 – Removal of Achan. Joshua 7:6–11 – Joshua's return to God and God's response.

Joshua 1:1–9 | “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”Graduation isn't just an ending—it's a beginning. In this powerful message, Pastor Ike Reighard challenges graduates (and all of us) to step into a life of significance, not just success. Like Joshua, you're being called to lead, to live with purpose, and to walk boldly into what's next—with God guiding every step.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered if your relationship with God has become one-sided? That striking question opens our exploration into the nature of true fellowship with our Creator. We challenge listeners to honestly reflect: how often do you approach God simply to love Him, without presenting a list of needs?Drawing from the beautiful promise in Lamentations 3:22-23, we discover that God's compassions never fail and are new every morning—a foundation for understanding His desire for genuine relationship. While it's true that God wants us to walk in victory and has given us His Word as a tool for that purpose, there's something profoundly transformative about approaching prayer from a perspective of adoration rather than acquisition.The true power in this message comes from recognizing what happens when we shift our focus. As we spend more time in God's presence, our self-centeredness naturally diminishes. When we sit at His feet in worship, our doubts about His care for us fade away. Problems that once seemed overwhelming "cower at the brightness of his glory" when viewed from His perspective. This isn't merely positive thinking—it's experiencing the reality-altering power of divine communion.We conclude with a practical challenge: approach God today without asking for anything. Simply worship Him, honor Him, and praise Him. This act of selfless adoration not only pleases the heart of God but becomes our most effective spiritual weapon. Like Joshua at Jericho, we discover that praise and worship are how we fight our battles, watching as walls come tumbling down. Your time of fellowship with God isn't just devotional—it's revolutionary.Support the show

In chapters 1-10 of the book of Joshua, the Israelites have successfully conquered several cities in Canaan, including Jericho, Ai, and Gibeon, and defeated the southern kings. In chapter 11, the northern kings, led by Jabin of Hazor, gather a massive army to fight against Israel. Despite the overwhelming force, God reassures Joshua not to fear, promising victory and instructing him to hamstring the horses and burn the chariots. This act symbolizes trusting in God rather than relying on human strength. While the chapter's language may seem harsh, it reflects God's judgment on the wickedness of the Canaanites. The Israelites' victory marks the fulfillment of God's promises made to Abraham, Moses, and Joshua, bringing them into the promised land. Like Joshua, we face battles in our own lives, whether personal struggles or challenges. Yet, God promises to fight for us, urging us to trust Him, obey His guidance, and believe that His strength will prevail even in our weakness, leading to victory and the fulfillment of His promises.

Your Daily Prayer

This week, we reflected on Joshua's journey and how it reveals God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. God assured Joshua that He would be with him as He was with Moses, and through bold leadership and courageous faith, Joshua saw waters part, walls fall, and the promised land conquered. Yet, the journey was not without setbacks—when Israel sinned by taking what was devoted to the Lord, they faced defeat, leaving Joshua heartbroken and confused. But instead of despair, he sought God, removed the sin from the camp, and was restored to victory. The promised land life is not without battles, but true victory comes not just in reaching the promise, but in being shaped by the journey. Like Joshua, we walk in courage by trusting that God's promises are greater than our problems, and when we fail, we repent, rise again, and trust the Promise Keeper—knowing that in Christ, we are always led in triumph (John 10:10).

We all try to look clean—through good deeds, reputation, or comparison—but deep down, we know we're not as pure as we seem. Like dirt under our nails, sin isn't just on the surface; it comes from within. The Pharisees washed their hands, but their hearts remained filthy. No amount of effort can scrub away our guilt. The good news? Jesus doesn't ask us to clean ourselves—He makes us clean. Like Joshua in Zechariah 3, God removes our filthy garments and clothes us in righteousness. True purity isn't earned; it's received. Stop using soap—let Jesus make you new.

This week, Caleb reflects on God's grace and kindness and invites us to seek His presence together, Shaping our lives and church to be presence-led, abiding in Him and moving at His direction. Like Joshua, who lingered in God's presence with passion and purpose, we aim to love Him above all, letting everything else flow from His deep connection. January 12th, 2024.

I sought to reorient us by answering 3 questions. What is happening? What is not happening? What can I do about it? I hope we have come to see that we have been under an enemy assault. The purpose is to discourage and dissuade us from moving forward. What I am hoping the full picture gives us is the resolve to continue to stand our ground and in doing so, and a determination to embrace the promised breakthrough into victory. I'm hoping to day that we are able to come together, rally the troops if you will and that we too will decide to push forward into victory. Like Joshua, I'm hoping you will accept the challenge. Whether you do or not, as for me and my house, I/we choose to follow and serve the Lord.

Joshua has been working closely with Moses. He is the one in the valley fighting while the man of God has his hands raised during the battle. He is a warrior. The time comes for Moses to die. God has raised up Joshua to lead the people into the Promised Land. To be fair, he is not sure he can do it. They have been wandering for forty years without entering the land promised to them. God tells Joshua that it is time to move forward. Today, God may be telling you that it is time to move forward. Like Joshua, you may be unsure that you can do it, but rest assured He can do it through you! Today we are looking at obstacles and barriers. What is keeping you from what God is telling you to do? Joshua 1:2 “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. 3 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun will be your territory. 5 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous;

In Joshua 19, we will see the inheritance of seven more tribes of the nation of Israel. Like Joshua, has God placed opposition in the way of your purpose? Do you fight your opposition with toughness and kindness?

We are looking at six lessons we can learn from the Joshua 13-21 as we are claiming our inheritance that God has promised us in Christ. So far, we learned that we don't want to be like the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh that chose their inheritance on the border on the east side of the Jordan River. We don't want to become borderline believers. The second lesson is found in Joshua 14:6-14. Like Joshua and Caleb, we should be encouraged in our pilgrim journey because no matter how long we must wait our inheritance is still available!   We learned our third lesson from Caleb in Joshua 14:6-14. We are never too old to fulfill God will and purpose for our lives. Our fourth lesson is found in Joshua 15:13-19, we also learn from Caleb that we have a responsibility to provide and pass on our inheritance and our faith to the next generation. Today, in Joshua chapters 15-17, we will discover our fifth lesson which is: God wants to give all His people their inheritance.   In Joshua 14:6-13, we saw where Caleb, who was of the tribe of Judah, claimed his inheritance. Now in Joshua 15:1-12 and verses 21-63, the inheritance of the rest of the tribe of Judah is described. In verse 63, we can't help but notice that at that time the Jews couldn't take Jerusalem from the Jebusites. They held it temporarily later on in Judges 1:8. It was not until we get to 2 Samuel 5:6-10 that we learn that David captured it permanently and made it the capital city of Israel.   In Joshua 16, the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh received their inheritance. You might remember that they were the sons of Joseph, whom Jacob "adopted" and especially blessed in Genesis 48:15-22. Since the tribe of Levi wasn't given any territory, these two tribes made up the difference so that there were still twelve tribes in Israel. It is also interesting to note that even though the birth order was "Manasseh and Ephraim" (Josh. 16:4; 17:1), but Jacob reversed it in giving them their blessing. This teaches us that God rejects our first birth and gives us a second birth. He accepted Abel and rejected Cain; He rejected Ishmael and accepted Isaac, Abraham's second-born son; He rejected Esau and accepted Jacob. We must be born again spiritually into the family of God (John 1:12; John 3:3-8), to qualify for our inheritance.   In the nation of Israel, the sons inherited the property. But here in Joshua 17:3-6, but the daughters of Zelophehad saw to it that the daughters weren't discriminated against (Numbers 27:1-11). Like the daughter of Caleb, these women had the faith and courage to ask for their inheritance; and they even changed the law!   Yes, God wants to give all His people their inheritance. James 4:2 reminds us, "You do not have because you do not ask" In Jesus Christ, all believers are one and are heirs of God (Romans 8:14-17). In Galatians 3:26-29, Paul tells us, “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”   Today, nothing from your first birth should hinder you from claiming all that you have in Jesus Christ! “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11)   God bless!

We are looking at seven lessons we can learn from the Joshua 13-21 as we are claiming our inheritance that God has promised us in Christ. So far, we learned that we don't want to be like the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh that chose their inheritance on the border on the east side of the Jordan River. We don't want to become borderline believers. The second lesson is found in Joshua 14:6-14. Like Joshua and Caleb, we should be encouraged in our pilgrim journey because no matter how long we must wait our inheritance is still available! We learned our third lesson from Caleb in Joshua 14:6-14. We are never too old to fulfill God will and purpose for our lives.   Today in Joshua 15:13-19, we also learn from Caleb that we have a responsibility to provide and pass on our inheritance and our faith to the next generation. In this passage we meet Othniel who becomes Caleb's son-in-law, who later became a judge in the land (Judges 3:7-11). Some of Caleb's daring faith obviously rubbed off on Othniel. In verses 18-19, we see how Caleb's faith also touched his daughter Achsah, for she had the faith to ask her father for a field and then for springs of water to irrigate the land. Caleb's example of faith was more valuable to his family than the property he claimed for them.   One of the major causes of the problems we are facing in America today is because several generations, including mine, have allow the “Egyptians”, the pagans and heathen of the land, to raise and educate our children with a godless philosophy because we were too busy working to pay for our mortgages, our new cars and other things we wanted trying to keep up with the “Jones” next door. Instead of taking our children to Sunday school and church on Sundays to learn God's Word we were too busy taking them to their sporting events.   We were too tired trying to pay for and keeping up with our “things”, that we neglected to have our own devotional time with the Lord, that our children would have seen, and taking the time at dinner and in the evenings to have personal devotions with them. We allowed them to be “baby-sitted” by their electronic devices, television, and social media. As a result, we have raised several generations of young people that don't know the Lord, or the truths and principles found in His Word.   The “Great Commandment” given in Deuteronomy 6, included teaching God's Word to our children and grandchildren. Psalm 78:1-8 summarizes this lesson of passing our faith on to the next generation as well as any passage in the Bible. “Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments; And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.”   May the Lord forgive us and help us realize the importance of this lesson to faithfully pass on our inheritance and faith to our children!   God bless!

As we said a few days ago we have one of the greatest miracles ever in the course of human history recorded here in Joshua 10. But before we discuss it, let me ask you a question. Do you need a miracle? Do you need something to take place in your life that is supernatural, something that cannot be explained. If you can explain it, it probably is not a miracle.   My friend, today America needs a miracle. It is not that we need a new president, a new congress, or a new anything else. No, we desperately need a miracle! Today we are celebrating our 248th birthday of the Declaration of Independence that took place July 4th, 1776. America is a country that was founded by our forefathers upon Biblical Judeo-Christian principles. These principles made America a good nation, made up of good, God-fearing people. Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD!”   Someone said, “America is great because America is good and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great”. We are not sure where this quote originally came from, but it is a Biblical truth. When any nation removes God and His Word from public life and exchanges a Biblical worldview for a secular humanistic world view, that country is on its way down. Sadly, it appears that this is exactly what has happened in America, and we see the consequences everyday with the corruption, violence, murder, materialism, chaos, division, hatred, confusion, all around us.   Yet with all the problems America has, and especially after visiting many other countries around the world over the years, I still would personally rather live in America than any other place else in the world. With all of its problems and all of its issues, we are still blessed to live in America. Yes, America needs a miracle if it is to survive!   God had already preformed one miracle by sending a hailstorm that was only killing the enemy soldiers (v. 11), but a bigger miracle was needed, and Joshua prayed for it. Joshua prayed for a miracle of extending the day so that he could finish the battle and secure a complete victory over the enemy. His men were weary, and the task was great; and if night came on, the enemy could escape. Joshua needed a special act from God to enable him to claim the victory the Lord had promised.   Joshua prayed to the LORD for the sun and moon to stand still (v. 12), and the Lord answered in a remarkable way. God, in His sovereignty and providence, pressed the Pause button on our solar system. This is the last miracle recorded in Joshua and certainly the greatest. We don't need to try to explain away a miracle. Either we believe in a God who can do anything, or we must accept a Christian faith that's non-miraculous; and that does away with the inspiration of the Bible, the Virgin Birth, and the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Certainly, there's room for honest questions about the nature of the miraculous; but for the humble Christian believer, there's never room for questioning the reality of the miraculous.   We are reminded of the many miracles performed by Jesus, and His words in Matthew 17:20, “... I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”     Like Joshua we face battles and might have five kings bearing down upon us. Discouragement, deception, defeat, destruction, and death. Their goal is to chase us back into the wilderness. But if we have God and prayer, we have everything we need for a miracle! God's promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 is still in the Bible! “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”   America needs a miracle and today would be a good day to pray for one.

In Joshua 8, the Lord not only gave Israel an opportunity for a new beginning with His word of encouragement, His word of instruction, and His word of promise, He also gave them a new strategy to conquer the city of Ai. God is not only the God of new beginnings, but He's also the God of infinite variety. God changes His leaders, like He did with Moses and Joshua, lest we start trusting flesh and blood instead of trusting the Lord. God also changes His methods lest we start depending on our personal experience instead of on His divine promises.   The strategy God gave Joshua for taking Ai was almost opposite the strategy He used at Jericho. The Jericho operation involved a week of marches that were carried on openly in the daylight. The attack on Ai involved a covert night operation that prepared the way for the daylight assault. The whole army was united at Jericho, but Joshua divided the army for the attack on Ai. God performed a mighty miracle at Jericho when He caused the walls to fall down flat, but there was no such miracle at Ai. Joshua and his men simply obeyed God's instructions by setting an ambush and luring the people of Ai out of their city, and the Lord gave them the victory.   It's important that we seek God's will for each undertaking so that we don't depend on past victories as we plan for the future. How easy is it for Christian ministries to dig their way into administrative ruts that eventually become graves, simply because the leadership fails to discern whether God wants to do something new for them. The American business leader Bruce Barton (1886-1967) said, "When you're through changing, you're through."   The strategy for Ai was based on Israel's previous defeat; for God was organizing victory out of Joshua's mistakes. The people of Ai were overconfident because they had defeated Israel at the first attack, and this overconfidence would be their undoing. "We did it before, and we can do it again!"   At night Joshua and his army marched fifteen miles from Gilgal to Ai; and, using 30,000 soldiers, Joshua set up an ambush behind the city from the west (vv. 3-9). He put another 5,000 men between Ai and Bethel, which was about two miles away (v. 12). This detachment would make sure that the army from Bethel wouldn't make a surprise attack from the northwest and open another "front." The rocky terrain in the highlands around Ai made it easy for Joshua to conceal his soldiers, and the whole operation was done at night.   The plan was simple but effective. Leading the rest of the Jewish army, Joshua would make a frontal attack on Ai from the north. His men would flee as they had done the first time and by fleeing draw the self-confident people of Ai away from the protection of their city. At Joshua's signal the soldiers lying in ambush would enter the city and set it on fire. The people of Ai would be caught between two armies, and the third army would deal with any assistance that might come from Bethel.   Being a good general, Joshua lodged with his army (v. 9). He certainly encouraged them to trust the Lord and believe His promise for victory. The Captain of the host of the Lord (5:14) would go before them because they obeyed His Word and trusted His promises.   The work of the Lord requires strategy, and Christian leaders must seek the mind of the Lord in their planning. Like Joshua, we must get the facts and weigh them carefully as we seek the will of God. Too often, the work of the Lord only drifts along on the tide of time, without any rudder or compass to give direction; and the results are disappointing. Our English word strategy comes from two Greek words that together mean "to lead an army." Leadership demands planning, and planning is an important part of strategy.   God bless!

Let's Go Crazy - Let's Go Crazy Like Joshua - Bishop Kevin Foreman

Historical Context and Modern ImplicationsAfter crossing the Jordan into the promised land, the Israelites fought the battle of Jericho. Joshua was their leader, and the Lord gave them the victory. In Joshua 24, the general reminds his people of God's faithfulness to them at Jericho and through their history.  He ends by making that memorable statement of faith: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”As Christians in a non-Christian culture, we are also called to take a stand. We can either choose to serve the gods of this world, or the Lord. It's not easy for us, and it wasn't easy for the Israelites. There were temptations everywhere to serve other Gods.  That's why Joshua reminds the people over and over, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous.”In the New Testament, Paul echoes Joshua's call to the Israelites in 1 Corinthians 16:13: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” It takes courage, determination, and trust in the Lord to withstand the worldly desires and impulses that assault us every day.Facing Today's False GodsSo, what are some of the false gods we deal with today? Larry Burkett used to say that a false god is “anything that detours our commitment to God”. So, anything you focus on, depend on, or put your trust in other than the Lord is a false god, or an idol. Let's look at a few of today's idols:Financial Security can become an idol. You might be depending on your retirement plans, savings accounts, and investment income to see you through, but financial security won't save you in the end.Another false god is government provision. Do you expect welfare programs, federal relief checks, or government handouts to meet your needs? These are only temporary fixes. God is your ultimate provider. For some folks, power is what they trust. Personal status, reputation, and financial influence might seem desirable, but these don't have the power to bring peace.Another idol you'll see everywhere is the idea of personal autonomy.  “I did it my way” seems empowering.  “Follow your own desires” looks appealing, and “I deserve this” feels right, but all of these represent a world view that puts you on the throne of your life.  Selfishness and pride are sins that leave no room for the Lord.It's possible to be strong in a worldly way, either physically, or by sheer human determination. But I don't think that's what Joshua meant when he challenged his people to “be strong and courageous”. True strength is defined by its source, and when the Lord is your source, your strength is from him. Our faith in God is our trust in him to be our strength in times of need.As it says in Psalm 20, God's people can “rise up and stand firm”, because “we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” But what if you don't choose to serve the Lord?Well, the consequences of trusting in false gods are severe. Throughout God's word you'll find warnings against bowing down to idols. Israel suffered God's judgment many times for their unfaithfulness. On the other hand, there are many benefits to trusting the Lord instead of false gods.A Call To Choose ChristOne benefit is a closer walk with Christ. Following biblical principles in your financial choices means you're listening closely to what God wants for you, reading His Word and trusting Christ to lead you. When you invite God into this important area of your life…you'll begin to understand 1 Timothy 6, “godliness with contentment is great gain.”Another benefit that comes with trusting God in your finances is peace.  When your financial choices are made “in Christ”, the result is peace, because God is in control.  As it says in Romans 8:6, “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”While worldly desires and attitudes will lead people astray, pursuing God's way in your financial life can bring spiritual growth. 1 Peter 2:1-3 gives this advice: “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”Another benefit to trusting God in your financial life is the blessing of generosity. When we give…willingly and generously…we are acknowledging God's lordship over everything. 1 Chronicles 29:14 says, “…For everything is from you, and we only give you what we have received from you.”  You can make your financial decisions according to God's principles…or according to secular, worldly ideas. Like Joshua, you must “choose for yourself this day whom you will serve.” We pray that you will choose to serve Christ, and trust the Lord with everything.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I rolled over my previous annuity to a F&G annuity about two years ago. The way it was presented to me was that I was supposed to make some money and sadly it hasn't grown at all. So I didn't know whether to try to roll it into something else or what. I also have the ability to take out $20,000 a year without any penalties and we've got some house repairs that we wanted to take care of before I retired. Would it be wise to do that? I'm 70 and my wife is 69 and we want to do a reverse mortgage but don't know where to start. We probably owe between 35-40% of the home's value left on the mortgage. We also have an investment in a local credit union where we're getting 5% every 11 to 13 months. Also, do you have any suggestions for how to maintain the lowest prices for home and car insurance since all of those prices seem to be going up? Resources Mentioned:BankrateMovement MortgageRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
