Sermon Title: “Courage for the Mission” (Pastor Bob)

Sermon Text: Joshua 1:1-9

Summary:

In Joshua chapter 1, God commands Joshua three times in just nine verses to be strong and courageous in fulfilling his mission to conquer the land so His people will find rest. How can someone be commanded to be strong and courageous? Joshua’s commission and mission was grounded in God’s Word. Joshua could only be strong and courageous if he knew God’s Word, talked about God’s Word, meditated on God’s Word and obeyed it in its entirety. He faithfully succeeded in all these ways and therefore was a successful servant and soldier in the Lord’s army! The people of Israel historically were not faithful to know, talk about, meditate on, and obey God’s Word. Due to their disobedience, they never entered God’s rest. It would take another Joshua to successfully lead God’s people into His everlasting rest.

Meditation: Philippians 1:20-21

Call to Worship: Psalm 31:19-24

N.T. Reading: Hebrews 4:1-11

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
