Life Change: That we are faithful to our families.

Life Change: That we stay the course in rest and labor.

Most of the sustainability conversations today deal with only one aspect of life - humanity and earth's climate. While these discussions can be useful, they almost universally miss a key biblical component: God is in charge. Humans are His vice-regents tasked with stewardship, but they have neither the power nor authority to control the earth. The medieval idea of a church sexton comes close to th...

Life Change: That we would thrive in holy living as a result of what God has done for us and because of the work he is doing in us.

Life Change: That God would empower us to love Him how He deserves and love others like He has loved us in Christ.

Life Change: That we be humbled by the privilege of knowing the God we long to please and be with forever!

Joshua leads the people in Passover and circumcision. Each of these is a distinctive sacrifice that represents God's covenant with Israel. Each also hints at he coming new covenant in Jesus. Life Change: That we circumcise our hearts before God.

What is the Mission? The mission is evangelism and discipleship.

Life Change: That in our church and homes we prepare for remembrances of God's power and presence.

Joshua takes the people through their baptism of possession. The crossing of the flooding Jordan is a miracle of epic proportions, and a story is redolent with powerful symbolism.

Joshua sends two spies to ascertain the situation in the key city-state in central Canaan, Jericho. The spies go secretly, likely for military reasons and to protect Israel from an unfavorable report as back at Kadesh. There, they meet Rahab, a harlot and thus a person of great gossip knowledge. Both Rahab and the spies show remarkable trust in God and in each other. This combination of faith and...

Joshua commands the people to get ready for the possession of the nation-place to go with the nation-people of God. Further, he instructs the tribes whose inheritance was east of the Jordan to come help their brethren fight west of the river. Their response is unifying, submissive, and motivating – especially in their reminder to Joshua to be what God calls him to be, strong and courageous. Are we...

Joshua commands the people to get ready for the possession of the nation-place to go with the nation-people of God. Further, he instructs the tribes whose inheritance was east of the Jordan to come help their brethren fight west of the river. The text even implies that they are working with their brethren before they are finished with their own work. Their response is unifying, submissive, and mot...

Just as Joshua is commissioned with the great work of the last half of his life – to lead the people across the Jordan and into their inheritance, so must we take courage through God’s promises given in His word.

Joshua is commissioned with the great work of the last half of his life – to lead the people across the Jordan and into their inheritance. God’s preparation for leadership involves strength and courage. Reaching back in context 30 days to Deuteronomy 28-31 we see the import of strength and courage in fulfilling God’s wishes. Campbell sees three specifically mentioned causes for courage: God’s prom...

This first section of Joshua is about God’s preparation of His people for His work – a hard work that requires great sacrifice and leads to great blessing. Joshua emerges as a powerful leader for a difficult time because he has spent so much time engaged with God’s preparation plan for him.

This first section of Joshua is about God’s preparation of His people for His work – a hard work that requires great sacrifice and leads to great blessing. Joshua emerges as a powerful leader for a difficult time because he has spent so much time engaged with God’s preparation plan for him. Corporately and individually, we can emulate such preparation so that we too are the right leaders for our h...

Jesus came to share all of who He is and we honor Him by sharing His word with others.

Jesus meets all of our needs when we come to him in worship

Peter’s core tenet is that Jesus’ sacrifice is our purposeful guide in reckoning ourselves as dead to sin. fFlowing from that, he answers why and how we stand firm every day.

The divine, eternal perspective is appropriate even under discomfort and trial. Peter first lays out the exhortation (13-17) and then reveals the encouragement that Jesus is the author of such behavior (18-22). The natural human perspective is assumed in Peter’s argument, but he counters it with great detail regarding the eternal, divine perspective on “unfair” things.

Pastor Chad Bailey leads us through 1 Peter 2:21-3:12 and reveals how important it is for us to "trace Christ"

This is the first part of the general behavior section of the epistle (2:11-3:12). The section describes appropriate responses to struggles in every significant area of life – citizenship, employment, and home life. The eleven verses considered here exhort Christians to live differently because we are different, and we know eternity can be different.
