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?

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?

Knowing Our Place

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

Though the Israelites win many battles in Joshua, it is ultimately God who gives them the victory. He is powerful not just against enemies, but over all creation. When we face battles we cannot win, who will we entrust ourselves to?
