Joshua 6:8-9 (3/30/17)

Marketplace

March 30, 2017 • Benham Brothers

* Billy Graham, Bill Bright, and Bill Gothard all said the next great move of God will take place in the marketplace.
* Look at the story of Jericho.
* The priests were to blow the horns as they followed the ark of God.
* In front of them and behind them were the soldiers.
* God is raising up men and women from the marketplace who will go before pastors, paving the way for them to blow the horn and rally the troops for battle.
* They will also go behind them to protect them when their reputations get crushed because they are blowing the horn.
* All the pastors have to do is blow that horn!!!
* We’re all ministers, but the pastors have a specific call to lead.
* Marketplace people need to help them in their calling!

Joshua 1 (4/16/14)

April 16, 2014 • Benham Brothers

God commanded Joshua to cross the Jordan but He didn't tell him how. Joshua didn't wait for a plan - he moved toward obedience before he knew how. Joshua's focus was on the God of plans and not the plan of God. Luke 17:14-15 - Ten lepers were cleansed in their "going." Joshua 3:4 - He didn't know the plan, but he did know that God must go first! God gave him the plan only after he moved toward obedience. The Jordan River was at flood stage right now - the odds were stacked against them crossing it. Joshua could have gone first and got his men to start building rafts to get the people across. When the soles of the priests feet touched the Jordan the waters stopped several miles away in a town called Adam.

Joshua 1:7-9 (3/31/16)

March 31, 2016 • Benham Brothers

• Moses was dead - Joshua took over. • The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land. • God encouraged Joshua and the people with a very specific command: • Be Courageous, Hold to God's Word, Be Courageous. • He sandwiched His Word between the command to be courageous. • Like a PBJ in between two slices of bread. • God's Word apart from courage wasn't going to take the land, and being courageous apart from God's Word wouldn't do it either. • If we want to enter the land of promise for us it will take courage and God's Word. • God's Word apart from Courage makes a teacher. • God's Word with Courage makes a father (1 Corinthians 4:15)! • We need fathers today like Joshua. • Father’s speak it, think it, do it.

Rahab feared God more than Man If your lie is based on fear of God then it's ok, but no situation like that exists If Mercy wasn't owed to them then Truth wasn't either
