Wall of Folly

Part 11

August 14, 2022 • Chris Heller

This message will encounter a chain reaction of both of the victories at Jericho and Ai. As the news continues to spread throughout the Canaanite cities that the Israelites have a conquering God, the enemies of Israel resort to ‘wiley ways’ in hopes they can crack the impenetrable force that is God’s people.

Have you ever been scammed, fooled, misled, even bamboozled? It’s so frustrating, and it can be very damaging. Join us this week as we look to increase our discernment, wisdom, and watchfulness in order to avoid the snare of folly.

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?
