Sermon Title: “Joshua, The Commander” (Pastor Bob)

Sermon Text: Joshua 1:10-18

Summary:

Joshua knew God had called him to lead the people into victory over the inhabitants of Canaan. Christians receive their calling in different ways. How can you know your calling is from the Lord? It must always be tested through letting the Scriptures control your thoughts and feelings, letting them alone evaluate circumstances and the advice received from others. Yet even this is not enough if we do not have what Joshua had. What is that? Faith in God! If we truly believe the Lord is our helper and will never leave or forsake us, then we are not afraid of what others can do to us. This is why people followed Joshua and said to him, “Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous."

Meditation: Hebrews 13:5-6

Call to Worship: Psalm 33:16-22

N.T. Reading: Hebrews 11:8-16

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Bob Becker • Isaiah 50:10, Psalm 65:1–8, Mark 4:35–41, Joshua 3

Sermon Title: “Astounding Things” (Pastor Bob) Sermon Text: Joshua 3:1-17 Sermon Summary: As children we could not wait to open our gifts on Christmas. The people of Israel cannot wait to stop wandering in the desert. They experience a mixture of anticipation, excitement and suspense as they wait to cross the Jordon River into the Promised Land. They saw God perform great miracles through Moses and now they will see Him do so through Joshua. As God parted the Red Sea through Moses, God now parts the Jordon River through Joshua. The Jordon River was overflowing its banks. This is not a little amount of water. Why does God do such an astonishing thing? He knows His people will need faith to finally find their rest. So it is with us. Spiritual rest always precedes physical rest. Trusting in God to give us the rest we crave takes faith. That covers the excitement, suspense and anticipation part. More faith, however, will be needed along our journey to find rest since God often opens His powerful hand one finger at a time! Meditation: Isaiah 50:10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God. Call to Worship: Psalm 65:1-8 (Responsive Reading) N.T. Reading: Mark 4:35-41

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Bob Becker • James 2:20–26, Joshua 2, Habakkuk 3:6, Psalm 40:1–11

Sermon Title: “God’s Grace For All Peoples” (Pastor Bob) Sermon Text: Joshua 2:1-24 Sermon Summary: Like Joshua, Rahab appears in the NT 3 times. The book of Joshua does not begin with judgment on the peoples of Canaan but with God’s grace and mercy. Not only was Rahab a Gentile, but she was also an Amorite. The Amorites were singled out by God for their sin. God told Abraham his descendants would not receive the land of Canaan until the iniquity of the Amorites was completed (Gen. 15:16). Add to this, she was a prostitute. Yet without a Bible she heard of God’s great deeds against the Egyptians and said, “for the LORD your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath (2:11)” What faith! A faith, even willing to put her life on the line for what she believed. God has not changed. He is still a God of grace and mercy saving both Jews and Gentiles. Meditation: Habakkuk 3:6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways. Call to Worship: Psalm 40:1-11 N.T. Reading: James 2:20-26
