Week 10 “Joshua: The Promise You Can Trust”

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
~ Romans 8:28

In today’s message, you will learn how to respond when you make a promise you shouldn’t have.

Do you have faith to trust God even when you were deceived?

Do you have faith that God will be faithful to you even when you have failed?

This is the “THE PROMISE YOU CAN TRUST.”

Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.

Joshua 1:6 (ESV)

A Promise You Shouldn’t Have Made | Week 10: Joshua

14 So the men took some of their provisions, but did not ask counsel from the Lord. 15 And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.

Joshua 9:14-15 (ESV)

Takeaways

  1. Deceived into a Promise
  2. Buyer’s Remorse
  3. Keeping Your Word

They answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you—so we feared greatly for our lives because of you and did this thing.

Joshua 9:24 (ESV)

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
