This message unpacks how God moves His people as one through a clear chain of communication—seen in Joshua's leadership and fulfilled through Jesus and His church. Just like Israel followed Joshua into the Promised Land, the church today follows Jesus through the leadership He's established. God's design for unity through His Word and His leaders isn't just practical—it reflects His very nature. When we move together under His direction, we show the world what He's like.

At 85 years old, Caleb boldly asked for the most challenging assignment in the Promised Land – a mountain filled with giants. While most people his age would seek comfort, Caleb saw these obstacles as opportunities to demonstrate God's power. His story teaches us that giants in our lives don't easily disappear, but faith allows us to face them with confidence. Through 45 years of waiting and preparation, Caleb developed a readiness that enabled him to trust God completely. His example challenges believers of all ages to stop asking for easier paths and instead request the strength to overcome seemingly impossible challenges.

Joshua 1:1-8 - Possessing Our Future - Part 2 - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1421.pdf

As we open the book of Joshua, our hero is standing at the edge of the Promised Land, the destiny they have been hoping for. He is entering the third “leg” of his journey of faith. For the first 40 years of Joshua's life, he was a slave. Born into bondage, as his fellow Hebrews had been for 400 years. He knew no other life.Then came the glorious day when God sent the great deliverer, Moses. Joshua experienced Passover and the parting of the Red Sea. He saw firsthand that the Lord was able to work mightily for His people.The second leg of Joshua's journey was a mixture of education and maturation as he spent the next 40 years in the wilderness. During this season, he was Moses' right-hand man, and he developed a deep trusting relationship with God.Now he begins the third leg. He is in his 80s. Moses is dead, and now God says, “Joshua, I want you to lead my people into the Promised Land.” The journey of his life has been a series of steps preparing him for this day. The same is true in our lives.Spiritual maturity is a function of moment-by-moment choices regarding whether to trust or mistrust, as well as day-to-day decisions about whether to obey or disobey.  Now, as Joshua is being called into the biggest challenge of his life, God gives him these stunning words: “Be strong and courageous.” (Josh. 1:6, 7, 9)In Hebrew, the words are:chazaq – be strong; “grab hold”amats – courageous; “don't let go”God was saying to Joshua, “I have a future for you.  It's a good future, a hope-filled future, a future that will not only result in My glory but your good.  I want you to grab hold of it.  And once you do, don't let go.”But that sort of future wasn't just offered to Joshua. There's a point of parallel for you and me.  First of all, you need to…Grab hold and don't let go of God's promises. (vs. 6) Here are two promises regarding your future to grab hold of and not let go:Regarding your identity. You are no longer a slave. You are a child of God. (Ga. 4:7)Regarding your destiny. God has plans for His glory and your good. (Jer. 29:11)Next, we need to… Grab hold and don't let go of God's patterns. (v. 8)Patterns for success are found in Scripture.  Read it. Meditate on it. Obey it. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)Then, we need to… Grab hold and don't let go of God's presence. (v.9)God promises to be with us every step of our journey. (Deut. 31:8) Text: Joshua 1:1-18Originally recorded on August 14, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Discover why fear doesn't mean a lack of faith, how to trace your fears to uncover what you're really trusting in, and how a bigger view of God leads to greater courage.

Episode #128 - Born in Nazi-occupied Hungary, Katherine MK Mitchell's life began in the shadow of war and loss. After fleeing Budapest with little more than courage and determination, she arrived in New York and eventually made her way to Hollywood, where she built a career in film and television. Inspired by her late husband, Katherine first became an agent—famously discovering Nick Nolte before he became a household name- before stepping into her own creative path as a screenwriter and story analyst.Her career includes work on productions such as General Hospital, The Bionic Woman, The Six Million Dollar Man, Fantasy Island, and the ABC movie Hitchhike. She later became a proud member of the Writers Guild of America West. Beyond Hollywood, Katherine authored three romantic adventure novels—Yours Forever…Maybe, Wasted…Maybe, and Shelby's Way…Maybe—as well as her powerful memoir From Budapest to Hollywood: Searching for the Promised Land (2023), chronicling her harrowing escape, resilience, and reinvention.In this soulful conversation, Katherine shares her extraordinary journey—from childhood survival in war-torn Europe to creative triumph in America. We explore themes of trauma, resilience, creative passion, and the power of storytelling to transform lives.Today, Katherine continues to inspire as both an author and speaker, encouraging audiences to persevere, embrace their true selves, and live with authenticity.TakeawaysThe journey from Budapest was fraught with challenges.The Red Cross played a crucial role in aiding refugees.Katherine's mother struggled under the weight of their escape.Katherine had to take on adult responsibilities at a young age.The experience was both traumatic and formative for Katherine.Writing a memoir helps in processing past emotions.The moment of crossing the border marked a significant change.Katherine's perspective on her mother's struggles evolved over time.Survival often requires immense physical and emotional strength.The experience shaped Katherine's understanding of adulthood.Connect with KatherineWebsite FacebookLinkedinLet's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastKeywordsBudapest, refugee, Red Cross, memoir, trauma, coming of age, responsibility, family, survival, history

Navigating new seasons in our spiritual journey requires strength and courage, just as Joshua needed when leading Israel into the Promised Land. Growth often brings discomfort, but it's necessary for spiritual maturity. To successfully navigate these transitions, we must keep God's Word in our mouths, speaking life rather than complaints, and follow His presence even into unfamiliar territory. God sometimes ends one provision (like the manna) to move us toward something better. These challenging transitions are actually opportunities for deeper maturity and fruitfulness in our faith journey.Keep the Bible in your mouth - what we speak matters, especially during times of change and growth.Follow God's presence - just as the Israelites followed the Ark of the Covenant, we need to be led by the Spirit rather than our own preferences.When spiritual practices feel dry or stale, it may be God's way of pushing you into a new season of growth.Growth and change are often uncomfortable but necessary for spiritual maturity.Our faith is meant to be lived in community, not in isolation.Support the show

A discussion about the accuracy and reliability of the Scriptures—sometimes referred to by the terms “inerrancy” and “infallibility”. Based on a careful reading of 2 Timothy 3:16-18, I contrast the views of two well-known Christian apologists of the Twentieth Century: Francis Schaefer and C.S. Lewis.

Drawing from Joshua 1 this week, we're reminded that entering our 'promised land' isn't about reaching a final destination, but about engaging in a continuous battle to claim ground for God's kingdom. The key lesson here is that wherever we set our feet, we're taking territory for God. This isn't just about physical locations, but about our mindset and spiritual presence. We're encouraged to meditate on God's Word day and night, not just reading it, but internalizing and living it out. This practice sets us up for true prosperity and success in God's eyes. During this season, our church must be 'strong and courageous,' a refrain repeated to Joshua, reminding us that we too need constant encouragement to stay focused on God's promises amidst life's distractions. Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543. You can expect passionate worship and a deep love for God's Word. Connect with us at our website www.revivechurch.life

In this series, we are focusing in our spiritual emphasis as a church for the year: Scripture reading. This sermon, part two of the series, dives into how we meditate on the Word. In it, Pastor David gives a useful five-step process for learning how to read the Bible slowly and intentionally, much like how Joshua was commanded to by God before they entered the Promised Land.Today's Message Text: Joshua 1:7-8; Psalm 126:1-6 Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast! Although we hope you are greatly blessed by listening to this message, we also believe it's important to belong to a local body of believers.

September 8, 2025 Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 30:15-20Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 5:9-27; Philippians 1:1-20“loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” (Deuteronomy 30:20)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.God keeps His promises. He promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would give them the Promised Land, and now, the Israelites are about to cross the Jordan River into that land. God keeps His promises. God promised Israel He would be their God and they would be His people. And because of that promise, they are given this hard word to remind them they are set apart from other peoples with other gods. The Lord has made them His own. The Lord took on Himself the burden of keeping the covenant in the stead of Abraham because He knew Abraham couldn't, and neither would his descendants. And in spite of the Israelites, the covenant remained because it was contingent on the Lord, not the actions of sinful man. God keeps His promises. God kept the greater promise of a savior. God made Abraham the father of many nations by sending Jesus Christ to save sinners. Jesus kept the law of God and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice to cover the sins of the people. Even while we were still sinners, wandering after other gods, Christ died for us. Now, having been washed in the waters of Baptism, we are made God's holy people, and because His words have claimed us as His own, the forgiveness of sins and eternal life are yours. He promises where the Word is, there He is also, in, with, and under the bread and wine of His Holy Supper. God promises to be your life and length of days, that you may dwell in His presence eternally, not on the condition that you keep His command, but because Christ Jesus has clothed you in righteousness. God keeps His promises to you and for you.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The God of Abraham praise, Whose all sufficient grace shall guide me all my pilgrim days in all my ways. He deigns to call me friend; He calls Himself my God. And He shall save me to the end through Jesus' blood. (LSB 798:3)Deac.

Joshua 1:1-6 - Possessing Our Future - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1420.pdf

Between the Promise and the Promised Land Hidden seasons are not wasted seasons. What looks like delay may actually be divine preparation. Though Paul had a dramatic conversion and a clear calling, he did not immediately launch into ministry. He spent three years in the desert, unseen and unknown, allowing God to shape him. This period of silence was not failure. It was formation. “The desert delays public fruit, not divine purpose.” Throughout Scripture, God consistently forms leaders in obscurity […] The post Between the Promise and the Promised Land appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.

IntroGood morning! Today we want to introduce our new series: a deep dive into the Book of Exodus. Just as songs like Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" or Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" borrow from earlier melodies, the Bible has a recurring melody line: the Exodus story. It's a deliverance archetype that influences the entire biblical narrative, from Genesis to Revelation, making it essential to understand.Scripture ReferencesExodus (all of it), Deuteronomy 31:9, Numbers 12:3, Luke 24:25-27, 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, John 1:14, Matthew 10:28-29, John 20:21Key PointsExodus is the Bible's Foundational Story:An Archetype for Deliverance: The Exodus story—God's rescue of Israel from slavery in Egypt—is a pattern for every major story of deliverance and redemption in the Bible. It's not just a standalone account but the source material for the whole biblical symphony.Jesus's Exodus: You cannot understand Jesus without knowing Exodus. His baptism, wilderness temptation, teaching on a mountain, and death during Passover are all intentional echoes of the Exodus narrative.Re-hitching the Testaments: We must reject the heresy of Marcionism, which separates the Old and New Testaments. Understanding Exodus provides the context that makes the New Testament "technicolor" and helps us appreciate God's holiness and love.Seven Goals for the Series:See Exodus Echoes: Recognize the themes of creation, bondage, redemption, and renewal woven throughout the Bible.Re-hitch the Testaments: Grasp that the Old Testament is essential to understanding Jesus and our faith.Understand the Sacraments: See baptism as a re-enactment of the Red Sea crossing and communion as a memorial of the Passover Lamb.Grasp the Law's Missionary Heart: Understand that God gave the law not as a set of arbitrary rules but as a distinct way of life to showcase His wisdom to the nations.Grasp God's Holiness: Appreciate the profound privilege of God's presence dwelling in us.Find True Freedom: Recognize that true liberation isn't found in a life without a master but in a "blessed bondage" to God. Like a fish in water or a train on tracks, our freedom is found in our created purpose: to worship Him.Find Yourself in the Story: The story of Israel's journey is an example and warning for us (1 Cor 10:11). Just as they were led from slavery to a wilderness, we have been delivered from the dominion of darkness into this life. We must learn to trust God through its trials, not mistaking the wilderness for the promised land.ConclusionThe Exodus story is our story. We were once enslaved to sin and death, but have been delivered by Jesus into the "wilderness" of this life. Though the journey may feel like it takes 40 years instead of 11 days, we have hope for the Promised Land.Calls to ActionFind Yourself: Ask God to reveal where you are in the Exodus story this week.Trust: Pray for a heart to trust God in the "wilderness" of your current life.Worship: As we continue our worship, let's sing about our chains being broken, recognizing that our ultimate freedom is found in Jesus.

Are you holding onto the past? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares about the penalty called "Holding". Spiritual holding happens when we cling to the past in ways that block our growth in the present.Israel struggled with this during their time in the wilderness. And that's often when we struggle with it too—during seasons of transition or uncertainty: a new job, role, baby, diagnosis—anything that shakes us. In those moments, we often crave what used to be.Read Numbers 11:1–35Israel, on their way to the Promised Land, longed for their past—even their slavery. When we hold onto the past, we risk never arriving at the future God has for us.Naming the SeasonTo follow God forward, you have to name the season you're in. Israel didn't realize their wilderness was temporary.God gave them manna—which means "What is it?" They couldn't name it, and that confusion stalled their progress. You can't recognize a new season until you understand the one you're in.God's plan was milk and honey—but they had to pass through the manna first.If you hold onto where you were, you risk staying where you are.Observations: What Are You Holding Onto?Old Sins Israel longed for the "good food" of Egypt, forgetting it came with chains. Old sins might feel comforting in hard times, but they are distorted memories. Desire without discernment leads to destruction.Old Comforts Numbers 11:4 uses the phrase hit'avu ta'avah—literally "they craved a craving." Their disordered desires led to Kibroth Hattavah—"the grave of craving." Seeking comfort over calling can keep us in the wilderness longer. James 1:15 warns us that craving gives birth to sin, which leads to death.Old Seasons Even good seasons must end for growth. Like a plant that must be repotted, growth requires discomfort. John 15:1-2 reminds us God prunes us to make us more fruitful. Holding onto the old stunts our spiritual development.Attitude, Action, and AtmosphereAttitude: Manna was provision, not punishment. Don't curse the very thing carrying you forward.Action: Israel complained instead of moving. Our actions shape our outcomes.Atmosphere: The rabble influenced Israel. Voices around you matter—surround yourself with faith, not fear.ConclusionHolding on to old sins, comforts, or seasons may mean they're holding on to you.But God's plan was never the grave of craving. He was leading them to Hazeroth—a place of structure.So ask yourself:Are you holding on to old sins, old comforts, or an old season?Let go—and let God lead you forward.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon NotesIntroductionIllustration: rise of genetic testing → search for ancestry & health.Studying Exodus is like doing “spiritual DNA testing” → roots of Christian identity & health.Aim: overview of Exodus → background + major themes.I. Exodus as Continuation of Genesis (1:1–7)Begins with “And…” → continuation, not a new story.Recap of Genesis: Abraham, covenant, Joseph in Egypt.Exodus picks up with Israel flourishing in Egypt (v.7).Problem: they are numerous, but not in the Promised Land; now enslaved.II. The Overarching Theme: Covenant RelationshipGod's actions in Exodus (plagues, Red Sea, Law, Tabernacle) flow from covenant.Definition of covenant:A relationship, based in grace.God commits himself fully.Calls for trusting, faithful obedience.Leads to blessing and flourishing.God remembers his covenant with Abraham (Ex. 2:24).III. Three Sub-Themes of ExodusDeliverance (ch. 1–18)God rescues Israel from slavery in Egypt.Freedom is not doing whatever we want, but serving God.Law (ch. 19–24)The 10 Commandments as a gift, not legalism.Law preserves freedom & teaches human flourishing.Presence (ch. 25–40)God dwells with his people in the Tabernacle.Not a distant God—he desires to be near.IV. Fulfillment in ChristCovenant: Jesus establishes the new covenant in his blood (Luke 22:20).Deliverance: Cross and Resurrection free us from sin, Satan, and death.Law: Jesus fulfills the Law and teaches true Kingdom living.Presence: Jesus “tabernacles” among us (John 1:14); the Spirit now dwells in believers.Discussion Questions:What's your general feeling about the Old Testament?How is a covenant different from other relationships?What's the difference between "freedom from" vs. "freedom for"? How does that apply to a relationship with God? Where do we see that in Exodus?How can you tell when God's Law is being misused or abused? What did Jesus think about God's Law?How do Jesus and the Holy Spirit fulfill the role of the Tabernacle?ResourcesIf you would like to dig deeper into Exodus, we recommend these resources:How to Read Exodus - a short, accessible overview with discussion questions  Bible-Study on Exodus - a 12-week Bible study with homework questionsBible Project Guide - videos, articles, and Q&A explaining ExodusExodus Commentary - a detailed explanations of each passage, perfect for deeper studyQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

You don't just leave on a long trip.  You've got to have some organization.  You need to know who is sitting where and where you'll be stopping for breaks.  You need to be prepared for problems that may come up on the road.  God's people are the same way.  God's people are at Mount Sinai and getting ready to go to the Promised Land.  But God has some final instructions for them before they go.  They need to get organized. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Joshua 12-13 reveals a profound spiritual reality that directly applies to our lives today - living in the tension between the 'already' and 'not yet' of God's promises. The Israelites had experienced remarkable victories, with 31 kings defeated as testimony to God's faithfulness. Yet despite occupying the Promised Land, enemies still remained within their borders, requiring ongoing vigilance and action. This mirrors our experience as Christians. We've been justified by faith, adopted as God's children, and sealed with the Holy Spirit - our salvation is secure. However, we still battle against sin, temptation, and spiritual enemies in this fallen world. We often prove faithful during major crises but stumble in the daily grind of faith, losing ground not through dramatic falls but through subtle compromises and gradual shifts in our vigilance. The chapters remind us that our true inheritance isn't in material possessions but in God Himself. Just as the Levites received 'the Lord God of Israel' as their inheritance, we find our ultimate security not in what we possess, but in who possesses us. When facing new battles, we must remember past victories as evidence of God's faithfulness. Whether in abundance or lack, health or sickness, our portion in the Lord remains secure - nothing can separate us from His love or steal our true treasure.

In this first message from our series Wanderers, we explore the profound story of the Israelites at the edge of the Promised Land in Numbers 13 and 14.

What can we learn from the Saints' devastating losses in Jackson County, Missouri and how does that promise of the resurrection transform the story? Dr. Derek Sainsbury explores the harrowing events of 1833, the destruction of the Church's printing press, and the personal sacrifices of the early Saints as they sought to build Zion in one of the most difficult frontiers imaginable.SHOW NOTES/TRANSCRIPTSEnglish: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC237ENFrench: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC237FRGerman: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC237DEPortuguese: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC237PTSpanish: https://tinyurl.com/podcastDC237ESYOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/ScT0t5_BGuIALL EPISODES/SHOW NOTESfollowHIM website: https://www.followHIMpodcast.comFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBookWEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletterSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE00:00 Part 1 - Dr. Derek Sainsbury01:32 August 1833 information03:41 Derek Sainsbury bio05:30 Presidential candidates assassinated06:38 Come, Follow Me Manual07:56 Death of first foreign missionary10:07 Indian Removal Act12:08 Mary Rollins and John Murdock16:05 Polarization of Jackson County20:13 The Promised Land 2.023:33 The Law of Consecration in Missouri25:01 Article by W.

  Today on OOBT, we're diving into Numbers 28–30 — and while it may look like laws and lists at first glance, there's something much deeper happening here.   Chapters 28 and 29 lay out a rhythm of daily, weekly, monthly, and festival offerings—a calendar of worship designed to keep God's people anchored in remembrance. For 40 years, Israel camped with the Tabernacle at the center. Worship wasn't just an activity; it was the structure of their lives.   But now, they're about to enter the Promised Land. Life is about to shift. No more camp setup around God's visible presence—families will be spread across towns and fields. Worship will no longer be automatic; it will have to become intentional.   Then in chapter 30, we zoom in to something personal: vows—the promises people make to God. Whether out of desperation, devotion, or gratitude, vows are sacred, and God takes them seriously.   Think of marriage vows, or the Nazirite vow—voluntary devotion like we saw with Samson. Or Hannah, who promised her son to God in 1 Samuel and followed through.   These chapters remind us to live with integrity in what we say, and remembrance in how we live.   And ultimately? All these rituals and rhythms point forward to Jesus, the once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 10). No more daily offerings. He fulfilled it all with His perfect love.   So let's talk about what it looks like to live with remembrance, intention, and integrity—right where we are.   For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/numbers-28-30/  

The Wilderness E1 — This year, we are looking at themes that play a prominent role in the Exodus story. And today, we're starting a new series on the theme of the wilderness. The wilderness is a setting that shows up constantly in the Bible, and it mainly represents a hostile, barren place where humans can't survive. So why does God repeatedly lead his people through it? In this episode, Jon and Tim introduce the theme and discuss how the biblical authors portray the wilderness as a place of testing, character formation, and even an Eden-like refuge.CHAPTERSThe Breadth and Meaning of the Wilderness in the Bible (0:00-12:30)A Place Hostile for Human Life (12:30-30:35)A Place of Testing and Refuge (30:35-47:09)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESTim alludes to this past episode about the function of settings in the Bible: Setting in Biblical Narrative from our How to Read the Bible series.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Pearly Gates ft.

 Happy Labor Day Weekend! I hope that this first set from the 2nd night of a 3 night Rex Benefit run at the Greek Theater is a great start to your holiday!  This is a fine recording of the band during one of their more interesting periods. 'Cold Rain and Snow' is always a great opener and I loved the 'Row Jimmy';.  I even found the Minglewood to be quite good... and the first set Victim is unusual and goes into a very nice 'Bird Song'. The second set which we'll hear next week is more improvisational, but I hope you enjoy this fine first set..  Grateful Dead Greek Theatre - University of California Berkeley, CA 8/18/1989 - Friday One      Cold Rain And Snow [6:11]   New Minglewood Blues [7:21]   Row Jimmy [9:07]   When I Paint My Masterpiece [5:02]   Built To Last [4:39]   Victim Or The Crime [6:01]   Bird Song [11:23]   The Promised Land [4:23]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod082925.mp3   I hope you have a safe and fun holiday... thanks so much for your support!
