Week 8 “Joshua: The Promise You Can Trust”

YouVersion Bible App Event (30 August 2020): https://bible.com/events/38435357

Sin’s regular pattern is…
I saw it.
I wanted it.
I took it.
It killed me.

In today’s message, you will learn how one person’s unfaithfulness can sabotage a family, a community, and a nation. From victory to trouble, breaking God’s word breaks you.

Do you have faith to trust God even when your eyes seek personal gain? Learn how to cultivate a faith that leads to victory, not trouble.

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)

Faith that Leads to Trouble| Week 8: Joshua

But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.

Joshua 7:1 (ESV)

Takeaways

  1. Sin has a consistent pattern. “I saw it, I wanted it, I took it. I died.” | James 1:13-15, Colossians 3:5
  2. One person’s disobedience can bring trouble for a whole family or even a whole nation.
  3. God knows, even when you hide your sin.
  4. Repentance or confession doesn’t always free us from the earthly consequences/punishment of our sin.
  5. Waiting for God’s timing can reap great rewards.

And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

Joshua 7:20-21 (ESV)

YouVersion Bible App Event (23 August 2020): http://bible.com/events/34961460

The walls and the city of Jericho have become an archaelogical goldmine for the end of the Bronze Age. The artifacts there have confirmed the biblical account of Joshua 6.

In today’s message, you will learn about how the people of Israel, led by Joshua, marched around Jericho in silence for six days. You will learn how they trusted God with a shout on the seventh day.

Do you have faith to trust God like Israel? Learn how to cultivate a faith that leads to victory.

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.

Faith that Leads to Victory | Week 7: Joshua

And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor.

Joshua 6:2 (ESV)
  1. Victory is Guaranteed | Joshua 6:1-7, Romans 8:31
  2. Try God’s Plan | Joshua 6:8-20
  3. Live the Promise of God | Joshua 6:21-27, 1 Kings 16:34, Luke 18:35-43, Luke 19:1-10

So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.

He also told his disciples to baptize others in water as a sign of God’s salvation

You can be baptized into the promise of God’s rest by saying Yes to Jesus and following him in water baptism.

Set a Reminder | Week 5: Joshua

‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the very place where the priests’ feet stood firmly, and bring them over with you and lay them down in the place where you lodge tonight.’ 

Joshua 4:3 (ESV)
  1. Establishing Two Memorials | Joshua 4:1-9, 1 Corinthians 10:3-5
  2. Safety in the Water | Joshua 4:10-18
  3. Tell your Children & the Nations | Joshua 4:19-24

“When your children ask their fathers in times to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 then you shall let your children know, ‘Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over, 24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
