From the Thrill of Victory to the Agony of Defeat

Joshua 7

November 1, 2023 • Pastor Brian Bell • Joshua 7

After the victory of Jericho comes the defeat at Ai for Joshua and the Israelites. We find from their experience that obedience to God's commands us essential for success. Disobedience can lead to defeat and consequences not just for us but also for those around us.

Covenant Renewal

February 21, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • Joshua 24

Joshua wraps up with "The Usual Parts of a Covenant Renewal." Service to the Lord becomes the theme in this chapter.

Farewell

February 14, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • Joshua 23

"Farewell:" Joshua, in his speech, magnifies the Lord instead of reciting his accomplishments, or what others would say about him. He exhorts the people to love the Lord their God, and to cling to Him.

The Lord Is My Portion

February 7, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • Joshua 21, Joshua 22

Christ's faithfulness to Christians is not contingent on their faithfulness to Him. God is faithful because that is who He is and He cannot deny Himself. So, we can have spiritual rest in that promise, and that will lead into our obedience and service to Him.
