September 15, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 1:1–7
Pastor Lloyd opens this new series on the book of Joshua with a quick overview of history beginning with Genesis and God's promise to Abraham. Now it's time for conquest of the promised land. We find that great courage and faith is required with battles to be fought to receive the inheritance. It is no different for us today. Will we have faith to fulfill our calling? Join Pastor Lloyd for teaching and insight from the book of Joshua.
Directed By His Word
September 22, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 1:8–18
Today's teaching provides a prototype for every Believer who comes to a point in life when we must take what has been learned and step out in faith to apply it. In Joshua chapter one, the Israelites are on the brink of going into the promised land. You and I are modern-day Joshua's. Will we go where God has directed? Will we be brave and courageous? The example of Joshua stepping out in faith might just be the inspiration you need to conquer your own promised land.
Saving Faith of Rahab
October 6, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 2
This chapter is about judgment but it's also about the amazing mercy of God. Joshua sends spies into the Promised Land and two of them enter the house of a prostitute, Rahab. Rahab has already heard about the God of Israel and testifies of this to the men. We learn that she believes in the covenant name of God and she displays it through her legendary acts of mercy. Join Pastor Lloyd for lessons on faith and mercy from a most unlikely person, Rahab.
Crossing Over by Faith
October 20, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 3—4
We continue in the book of Joshua which records the military conquests of Israel as they cross into the Promised Land. This is about faith. This is about crossing over into victory and defeating the giants. The decision to do so, trusting God, is a consecration. Have you crossed over from defeat to victory or are you still wandering in the wilderness of doubt? With many parallels to the difficulties we have in facing our own giants, this lesson is a call to cross over to courageous faith and victory.
Foundation for a Life of Faith
October 27, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 5
Today we dive right back into Pastor Lloyd Pulley’s series through Joshua, as we study Joshua chapter five. Joshua needed to concentrate on God’s instructions for an epic battle in the near future. Before we come to Joshua’s encounter with the Lord, The Children of Israel are instructed in circumcision and in the celebration of the passover.
Steps of Faith to Victory
November 3, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 6
n Joshua chapter six, we have the very famous account of the fall of Jericho. In a manner of speaking, we all face Jericho’s in our lives. Walking in obedient faith, focused on God, is how the walls of Jericho fell, and the same game plan holds true in our battles.
Lessons from Failures - Part 1
November 17, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 7
The children of Israel had many lessons to learn as they entered the Promised Land. One of the most important lessons was that of simply looking to God for His help. Pastor Lloyd talks about this simple but important lesson today, as we look at a startling story that shows us the problem of trying to take care of ourselves, instead of relying on God.
Lessons from Failures - Part 2
December 1, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 8
In Joshua chapter eight the Lord comes to Joshua and gives encouragement, instruction, and a new strategy that will lead him from defeat to victory. Our God - who is the same yesterday, today and forever - wants to do the same for you.
Lessons from Failures - Part 3 "And A Picture of Grace"
December 8, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 9
This is a look at grace. God has given the Canaanite culture 400 years to repent, a culture full of child sacrifice, evil and depravity. They sit upon prime real estate and God is about to remove them. People become blind to sin, and consequently this place of six carnal nations has been marked for judgment. They align together to fight against Joshua, just as there are powers today that align themselves against God and against his ambassadors. Join Pastor Lloyd for these insightful lessons on failure from Joshua chapter nine.
Victorious Conquest - Part 1
December 15, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 10
It's judgment day for the Canaanites. As a result of this judgment, change is coming. God is going to put His people over the Canaanites to have blessing and influence on the rest of the world. Here, we see a principle at work that judgment comes before blessing. As Believers and ambassadors in Jesus Christ, we must remember there will always be Canaanites who want to conquer and dominate. Join Pastor Lloyd for this teaching from Joshua who, like Jesus, leads in victorious conquest.
Victorious Conquest - Part 2
December 29, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 11—12
These two chapters depict the final military conquests of Joshua. The "ites" of this land are totally obliterated as God's judgment is carried out. This is a picture of what is to come which pales in comparison to the great judgment that will come upon the whole world when Christ returns. Join Pastor Lloyd for a fascinating look at military history and the victory that comes through obedience.
Much Territory to Claim
January 5, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 13—14
In this chapter, Israel has conquered the land but they haven't yet possessed it. They have a foundation but there are still pockets of resistance. God's intent is possession so they might have influence for good. Likewise, as Christians, God wants us to walk in the victory of Christ who paid for our sin, then to take hold of what Christ has given. Otherwise, we can forget our purpose and fold to the resistance. Join Pastor Lloyd and learn how to take the next step and possess our territory.
Possessing Your Inheritance
January 12, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 15—19
How does a military conquest and possession of a small strip of land in the Middle East apply to our own lives today? This continuing history of a fledgling nation reveals God's intention that Israel have influence and blessing over the land; this is still God's intention for today's followers. Difficult lessons must be learned to drive out and overcome the Canaanites. Join Pastor Lloyd as we learn that the shoe still fits in the 21st Century as we must also overcome today's Canaanites.
Refuge
January 19, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 20—21
Everything in scripture is written for our benefit, including this portion about the cities of refuge. There is actually a lot in the Bible about places of refuge and it still contains meaning for today. Join Pastor Lloyd for this teaching about these cities God establishes for reasons that might surprise you.
Community Tested
January 26, 2020 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Joshua 22
Pastor Lloyd opens this teaching from Joshua with the reminder that when God says He is going to do something, He never fails, as stated in the closing of Joshua, chapter twenty-one. Now the challenge: God's promise is certain, yet there seems to be a gap between what was promised and what is implemented by the Israelites. Why the gap, not only then but in our lives today? Join Pastor Lloyd as he explores the lessons learned and the principles we can apply today.
