Pastor Nate brings the message, "Last Words” from Joshua 22-24. In this final sermon of our Joshua series the last words from Israel's leader come in the form of a challenge: "Choose whom you will serve". Every day, every moment we are making a choice as to whom we will serve. It's either God or self. Pray that God uses His Word this Sunday to encourage His people to choose Him.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Surprising Inheritance” from Joshua 13-21. Big chunks of Scripture outlining land allotments/inheritances to ancient Israel can seem insignificant and, quite frankly, boring for today's reader. But all Scripture is profitable for us (2 Tim 3:16), and in this week's sermon we will see that God has a purpose for including this information in His Word to us.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Depending on God” from Joshua 9-12. Have you taken time to pray over the matters you are facing today? We might aim for a quick answer with Gemini or ChatGPT or call a friend, but will you take a moment to seek God first? Joshua 9-12 helps us keep life simple: go to God first and depend on Him to lead you through the day.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Who is Ultimate?” from Joshua 5:15 - 8:35. When Joshua and the rest of Israel approached the Jordan, they trusted what god had told them. When they approached Jericho, they had to trust what God had declared. When God spoke of sin, some failed to trust His commands. This passage brings us back to simplicity: trust what God has spoken…and obey.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God Does the Impossible” from Joshua 3-4. God delights in doing the "impossible" in order to bring glory to Himself. For example, when the Jordan River was at peak height during the flood season, God chose to take Israel across it-on dry ground. His powerful works are a reminder that God is carrying out a good plan in and through the lives of His people and nothing can stop Him.
As we move into December, the anticipation of Jesus' arrival wells up within us. The earliest promise of Jesus' coming is found in Genesis 3:15. It covers God's sovereign grace, the conflict of sin, and the ultimate victory in which Satan and evil are ultimeately defeated through our Lord an Savior.
The message comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3. One of the kindest gifts that God has given us is the local church family. He has blessed us with spiritual brothers and sisters who, although not perfect, genuinely care and love us for who we are in Christ. May our hearts be thankful to God for what He has given us.
We happily remember the times our dads kindly showed us a better way to hold a bat, tie a tie, turn a wrench, or how to read a book. We needed correction and they gently helped us. In our walk with God we need correction as well, and we'll look at Galatians 6:1-2 to see how the local church ought to be doing it.
