Wall of Self Reliance

Part 12

August 21, 2022 • Chris Heller

Are you feeling tired, maybe lacking motivation, or do you find yourself easily frustrated? Did you know these are just a few signs that you may be struggling with burnout? We live in a fast-paced world that preaches a "go and get yours" self-reliance. However, that is far from God's plan for our lives. He does not call us to be self-reliant, He calls us to rely solely on Him.

In this message's incredible account, we see Joshua rely on and receive the help of God in such a miraculous fashion. When we ask for God's help, we will see Him do things exceedingly beyond all we could ask or think. The only thing preventing us from experiencing His wonder-working power is our own self-reliance.

All of Our Fears

May 15, 2022 • Chris Heller

This message will begin with the life, calling, and mission of Joshua on his conquest towards one of the most miraculous victories in all of our sacred text! But what does Jericho have to do with what we’re facing in today’s culture? We are not called to conquest. Our battles are not against flesh and blood. We have been commissioned by Jesus, the One who fulfilled the Law, 'to love God, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.' We will consider what walls all of our fears may have built up that now need to come down so the light of God’s wondrous love can come bursting through!

Wall of Fear

It is often thought that people who struggle with anxiety lack courage. However, many of God’s most courageous servants first responded to His call with fear, excuses, and anxieties that haunted their thinking. Watch now as we learn from Joshua’s own battle with fear and anxiety, that just may have inspired one of the greatest verses in all of scripture, and let’s learn some tools along the way to be courageous in spite of our fears!

Wall of Generational Sin

May 29, 2022 • Chris Heller

There is a new wall to knock down -- the wall of generational sin. The term ‘generational sin’ is often used as a reference to the weaknesses or tendencies that are handed down through the generations from parents or members of our family. Just like physical attributes are passed down, behavioral attributes and attitudes can be passed down as well. Why do certain sins seem to run in families? Can these patterns be stopped? What does the Bible say?
