Breaking Down Walls

Lessons from the life of Joshua

Ridiculous Obedience

October 20, 2013 • Rev. Jennifer Williams

Looking at Joshua 6, in the most ridiculous battle of all time the Israelites walk around the city blowing trumpets while all of Jericho looks on and laughs. We're going to look silly doing things God's way, but we have to obey anyway. Obedience isn't about everything making sense, it's about trusting the One who is asking us to walk through the wall.

Patience

In Joshua 5, they learn a painful lesson about the fact that it hurts before it gets better. They had to be patient and wait for healing to come.

Humility

October 6, 2013 • Rev. Jennifer Williams

In Joshua 4, Joshua insists on giving away credit and making sure everyone (including himself) recognizes God as the true leader. He had the humility to recognize he wouldn't make it on his own. This week I'll be focusing on the fact that if we're tempted to take the blame we'll also be tempted to take the credit. It's God's battle.
