Be Strong and Courageous | Joshua 1:6-9 | Pastor Josef Rasheed In this encouraging message from Joshua 1:6-9, Pastor Josef Rasheed challenges both Pastor Dave and the Redeemer congregation to embrace God's command: “Be strong and courageous.” Just as Joshua was called to lead Israel after the death of Moses, believers today are called to trust God's promises, follow His Word, and courageously fulfill His purposes. Key Scripture Joshua 1:6-9 (NIV) 6. Be Strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you ay have good success wherever you go. 8. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Main Challenges and Encouragements Theme: "Be Strong and Courageous" (Joshua 1:6-9) Pastor Rasheed's message centered on God's repeated command to Joshua: "Be strong and courageous." He applied this challenge both to Pastor Dave as a leader and to the Redeemer congregation as followers of Christ. Challenges 1. Accept God's Calling and Leadership Just as Joshua was commissioned to lead Israel after Moses, Pastor Dave has been commissioned by God to lead the church into its next season. Leadership requires faith, perseverance, and dependence on God rather than personal strength. 2. Lead People Across Their Fears The Jordan River represented the fears and obstacles facing Israel. Believers are called to trust God through uncertainty and help others move beyond fear into faith. 3. Obey God's Word Completely Pastor Rasheed emphasized Joshua 1:7-8, calling believers to: Obey Scripture faithfully. Keep God's Word on their lips. Meditate on it day and night. Allow God's truth to guide every decision. 4. Walk in Spiritual Freedom Christians are called to live free from traditions, habits, and bondages that keep them from fully following Christ. The congregation is challenged to help others experience the freedom found in Jesus. 5. Support and Pray for Church Leadership The church was urged to stand with Pastor Dave through prayer, encouragement, unity, and faithful service. Rather than participating in criticism or division, believers should lift up their leaders before God. 6. Stand Firm in a Culture Moving Away from God The congregation was challenged to remain faithful to biblical truth even when society rejects Christian values. Parents were specifically encouraged to raise their children in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. Encouragements 1. God Commissions Those He Calls Throughout Scripture, God called and equipped people such as Moses, Samuel, Jeremiah, Paul, and Joshua. If God calls someone to a task, He will also provide the strength and resources to accomplish it. 2. God Is Always Present The central encouragement came from Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
What does your life say about the God you claim to follow?In Daniel 6, Daniel's enemies searched for corruption, dishonesty, and inconsistency, but they could find nothing against him. His daily character gave credibility to his faith. When obedience became costly, Daniel stood firm because his convictions had been established long before the lions appeared.In this sermon, Pastor Robbey Smith challenges us to:• Live above reproach• Settle our convictions before pressure comes• Obey God even when obedience is costly• Trust our sovereign God with the resultsWe cannot claim Jesus on Sunday and live dishonestly on Monday. Good works do not save us, but a transformed life is necessary evidence of saving faith. We are justified by faith alone, but the faith that justifies is never alone.You cannot control how others respond, what obedience may cost, or whether God removes your suffering. You are responsible for obedience. God is responsible for the outcome. Settle your faith before pressure does. Obey God today and trust Him with tomorrow.Scripture: Daniel 6:1-27Message: Live Above Reproach#PastorRobbey #Daniel6 #LiveAboveReproach #ChristianCharacter #StandFirm #TrustGod #RedemptionChurch

Pastor Richard talks about God's faithfulness to us, God's everlasting love for us, and he reminds us to seek God with all our hearts.
Message from Alvin Litonjua on August 9, 2026
Part2 By: Dr. Kenneth Harbaum
What if the greatest obstacle to experiencing God's best for our lives is not our circumstances, but our insistence on knowing the outcome before we obey? Rooted in the opening verses of Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, this message confronts us with a question that cuts to the heart of our faith: are we actually walking according to what God has said, or are we simply collecting knowledge about it? The Psalmist's focus on the word 'walk' reminds us that God's word was never meant to be a set of ideals we admire from a distance. It was always meant to be the living path beneath our feet. We are challenged to examine every corner of our lives, our relationships, our finances, our pursuit of purity, and ask honestly whether God's word is truly shaping those areas or whether we have quietly carved out spaces where we remain our own authority. The message is clear and convicting: knowledge of scripture must convert to obedience to scripture, and the evidence that we truly trust God is that we actually do what he says.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Video Description**Join us, a Christadelphian team, for this outstanding and thought-provoking expositional study: *The Apostle Peter, After the Resurrection #3 – ‘Standing Firm: Hypocrisy Within, Persecution Without'*. This insightful video reveals how Peter and the early ecclesia navigated the terrifying reality of external persecution alongside the even more dangerous threat of internal hypocrisy. We witness the unstoppable power of God's Word – it cannot be silenced by prisons, councils, or deceit. This is a wonderful, inspiring call to examine our own hearts and stand firm, no matter the cost.**Chapters:**00:00 – Introduction: Peter's Post-Resurrection Question02:00 – The Unstoppable Word: Persecution Cannot Silence Truth04:30 – Hypocrisy From Within: The Danger of a False Name08:00 – Ananias and Sapphira: Love Turned to Greed14:30 – Laying Down Life: Peter's Journey From Denial to Devotion19:00 – Hypocrisy as a System: Devouring the Sheep23:00 – The Shadow of Peter: Healing, Refuge, and the Great Rock28:00 – Angelic Intervention: Prison Doors Opened32:00 – Standing Before the Council: “We Ought to Obey God”38:00 – Rejoicing to Suffer: Fighting Against God?42:00 – Conclusion: Standing Firm – From Without and Within**Bible Verse Categories:**

Pastor Richard reminds us the importance of crucifying our flesh and doing what he wants us to do, rather than living by the flesh, the way the world lives.
Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn this episode of Thriving in the Word, we continue The Hall of Faith series and we stop at a man who built something no one had ever seen, for a disaster no one believed was coming, in a world that had never seen rain.We walk through Genesis 6 and trace it into Hebrews 11:7, where Noah warned about things not yet seen, moved in holy fear and built an ark to save his family. And while the whole world watched and mocked and kept living like nothing was wrong, Noah kept swinging the hammer.That's not stubbornness. That's obedience.We talk about what it actually means to obey God when it doesn't make sense, when the assignment looks ridiculous, when the timeline is 120 years long, and when nobody around you believes what you believe. Noah didn't just have faith in a promise. He built something with it.That leads us into some honest questions:Will we obey God when the instructions don't come with an explanation? Do we only follow God when it's convenient or culturally acceptable? Are we building what He's asked us to build, or are we waiting for the world to validate the blueprint first?From there, the conversation gets real. Think about what it costs to be different, not just a little different, but build-an-ark-in-your-front-yard different. Noah's obedience wasn't quiet. It was public. It was long. And it condemned the world simply by being faithful.Topics include: Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11, Noah, Genesis 6, faith and obedience, obeying God, building in faith, holy fear, righteous in a corrupt generation, Noah and the ark, Bible study on Noah, faith without explanation, what is obedience, walking with God, trusting God's instructions, long obedience in the same direction, faith that costs something, endurance, discipleship, spiritual formation, Christian podcast, Bible teaching, faith-based living, the flood, ark, righteousness through faith, will we obey God, obedience over comfort, hearing God and doing it.This faith-based Christian podcast is for anyone who wants Bible teaching that doesn't stay on the surface, because obedience isn't an emotion. It's a decision. And Noah made it for 120 years without a single person in his corner.The question isn't whether God is asking. The question is: will we obey?More Info: https://www.thrive.church Give: https://www.thrive.church/give/ Need prayer? prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church. © All Rights Reserved.

Obey God and begin right where you are. (10049260226) The episode walks through Haggai's four dated sermons delivered over four months and highlights the main themes: the danger of waiting when God calls us to work; the trap of lamenting the past and missing present opportunity; the mistake of focusing only on the material and ignoring God's supernatural provision; and the error of magnifying opposition while forgetting God's presence and power.
