Good Morning “Faith Multiplied”.  Today we are in Joshua 17.  There is purpose in everything we go through.  Joshua has been through a lot and conquered alot of ground.  By Gods own Word, Joshua is old, very old (Joshua 13:1) - but there is still much land to conquer.  From the time he took over for Moses, Joshua has been reminded repeatedly… “”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. D...  Read More

Good Morning “New Creations”.  Today we are in Joshua 16.Here we get a reminder of a principle we’ve talked about before.  By Grace Jesus has paid the price for our sin.  Through Him and the washing of the Holy Spirt that dwells in us, we have been made new creations (Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:20).Paul said …”continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you ...  Read More

Good Morning “Facts Seekers.”  Today we are in Joshua 15.  As we read through these few chapters, they can read almost like a lineage.  Name after name, city after city, territory after territory.  What is the point?  Perhaps part of the point is just that… there were a lot of city’s, and a lot of territory given to Israel!  If you watch the news today or listen to Anti-Semites or Jewish Protestor...  Read More

Good Morning “Energized By Faith.”  Today we are in Joshua 14.Today we continue with focus on Joshua and Caleb.  Caleb now 85 years old and Joshua likely a similar age.  Joshua is as “Very old” according to God in Joshua 13:1, and presumably tired!   Yet there were still many lands to conquer.  In chapter 14 we see a pause… enough time to distribute an allotment of land to Caleb.  What land?  How ...  Read More

Good Morning “Just Getting Started.”  Today we are in Joshua 13.  Have you grown weary of your Christian walk and service to The Lord?  It can be easy to begin to think so… unless we remind ourselves our strength comes from the Lord.  He has told us that we are in process.  He will continue the molding and making process, using us along the way, until Jesus comes back for us (Philippians 1:6).  Th...  Read More

Good Morning “Sin Evictors”.  Today we are in Joshua 12.  Just a simple transitional, summary chapter at first glance.  Remember however; the entire Bible is one story about our redemption through Jesus.  So… let’s consider the metaphors we see at play here.  We know Moses was representative of the Law.  The Law was never sufficient to save us; only convict us (Romans 8:3). Moses could only get th...  Read More

Good Morning “Giant Slayers”.  Today we are in Joshua 11.God continues to bless the nation of Israel with victory - insuring their inheritance of the “Promised Land”, and destroying pagan nations in the process.”No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod did any survive. So Joshua took the entire land, just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inher...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Serve The Master of Miracles.”  Today we are in Joshua 10.”The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.” Joshua‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬That passage pretty much sums up this chapter.  As Joshua and his army conquer land after land.  The victory is The Lords - working to fulfill His promise.  Did you no...  Read More

Good Morning “Lords Guidance Seekers.”  Today we are in Joshua 9.We live in a world full of deception, and lacking in integrity and honor.  ”Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man? A righteous man who walks in his integrity— How blessed are his sons after him.“ Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭I believe there is much we can learn both from the Gibeonites deception and from...  Read More

Good Morning “Restored.”  Today we are in Joshua 8.Yesterday we looked at Achan’s sin, and the resulting consequences.  Sin within the nation cost Israel big time!  However; God was, and is, a God of forgiveness and grace.  After faithfully purging the sin, God  assured Joshua the victory is theirs.  “Do not be discouraged, do not be afraid.”  He gives Joshua a plan to follow.  Although the bulk o...  Read More

Good Morning “Sin Confessors”. Today we are in Joshua 7.  Gods faithful!  The nation of Israel is in a good place… or so it seems.  God has dealt with any remaining rebellion in their hearts.  They’ve all been circumcised and God had recently given them victory over Jericho.  Their next assignment - take Ai.  No problem.  Small army.  But wait, it seems they are fighting on their own strength.  Th...  Read More

Good Morning “Those who obey anyway.”  Today we are in Joshua 6.Throughout Scripture we see stories of God moving in miraculous ways that we don’t understand.  Here He is about to give Jericho into the hands of Israel.  The battle method… marching, trumpet blowing and shouting on the 7th day.  7 days of  required obedience.  Not a word until the 7th day.  As Joshua gave the instructions Israel had...  Read More
