The Book of Joshua
Grace Notes
October 10, 2021 • Matt Hemsley • Joshua 14:6–15
The desire for significance, for our lives to actually mean something, is as human as the need for food and shelter. But what if we never get to be on the cover of Time Magazine? What if no book ever has our name on it? That’s the story of Caleb which we’re diving into this week. We’ll discover that even though he is just a ‘grace note’ in the story of Joshua, his life was still full of significance.
Regaining Lost Ground
October 3, 2021 • Josh Meadows • Joshua 8:1–8
Joshua is a very tough book to read. Stories of war and mass destruction are never fun, matter of fact they can be depressing. But as we look at this week's story, we will be reminded of a greater redemption. We will be reminded of the beauty of us being able to look at Jesus, and see who God really is.
Jericho
September 26, 2021 • Allison Bolet Cafaro • Joshua 6:1–16
What if all of the disobedience, the set backs, the wondering and fear was really birthing faith in the Israelites? As they face Jericho - the only thing that separated them from the anticipated promise land - will their obedience rise so His faithfulness can shine as the walls crumble? Will they choose to complete what God had started 40 years prior and lay hold of all that God has?
When Failure Becomes Victory
September 19, 2021 • Matt Hemsley • Joshua 7:2–7
This week we’re jumping ahead past the victory of Jericho (which we’ll hear about next week) to a significant failure in the story of Joshua. What are we supposed to make of Israel’s defeat? And what should we make of our own? This part of Joshua’s story will take us to difficult, but life-giving and ultimately victorious places.
How to Get from Here to There
September 12, 2021 • Matt Hemsley • Joshua 1:1–9
As believers we know we should always be progressing in our spiritual journey. But how many times do we stop short of receiving what God wants us to have? And how do we move from where we are to where God wants us to be? For the next 6 weeks, we’re going to explore the story of Joshua and how he entered into the promises of God.
