Who Can Serve God?

Who Can Serve God?

July 10, 2022 • Pastor Bill Tucker • Joshua 2:1–14

As Joshua and the Israelites are preparing to march on Jericho, they send some spies to the city to do some reconnaissance work. A foreigner named Rahab helps them and is blessed for doing so. This reminds us that God’s promises and God’s work are not just for certain people, but for all people.

Keeping a Covenant

September 4, 2022 • Pastor Zach McIntosh • Joshua 24:14–21

Right before Joshua dies, he invites the Israelites to serve the Lord, knowing they will not be able to. In their pride, the Israelites claim they will be able to serve Him. The next book of the Bible – Judges – tells us otherwise. Humility is the key to spiritual growth. How have we fallen short serving the Lord? Out of His grace, God continually invites us to try serving Him again.

What Lasts

August 28, 2022 • Pastor Bill Tucker • Joshua 23:6–14

As Joshua nears the end of his life, he reflects on how he has been merely a steward of God’s Word and ways. It is God’s Word that lasts. When we get to the end of our lives, will we have spent our lives with an eye toward what lasts?

Practicing Patience

August 21, 2022 • Pastor Zach McIntosh • Joshua 14:6–13

A man named Caleb has been waiting for years to receive an inheritance first promised to him by Moses. But rather than becoming bitter because of the wait, he is grateful for his inheritance, no matter how long it might have taken him to receive it. What good things will come to us when we are willing to wait?
