Good Morning “Lord Servers”.  Today we wrap up Joshua with chapter 24.  Who or what do you worship and why?  Who do you serve?  Yourself?  Others around you?  It’s been said that blood is thicker than water?  Odds are your beliefs are very similar to your parents, grandparents and those you spend most of your time with.  If you’re a follower of Jesus, odds are someone close to you was as well - an...  Read More

Good Morning “God Choosers”.  Today we are in Joshua 23.  Joshua’s time is short.  He’s about to “go the way of the earth.”  That’s a poetic way of saying he’s about to die.  As he urges the nation of Israel not to turn away from God but to remember and live by all that Moses commanded we get this little tidbit, ”So be very careful to love the Lord your God.“‭‭Joshua‬ ‭23‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬Be careful to...  Read More

Good Morning “Keeping Things Simple.”  Today we are in Joshua 22.  The progressive church has tried just about everything to coax people into church.  More lights, more smoke, more mirrors, more performance, worship that seems more like a concert, mock crucifixions, feel good messages meant to elevate the individual… all in the name of seeing people come to Jesus.  But are they?  Statistics say no...  Read More

Good Morning “Faithfully Founded in God.”  Today we are in Joshua 21.  We live in a world that teaches you can find everything you need within yourself!  “Self Talk” is a popular new “movement”.  It teaches us to focus on ourselves,  and take our eyes off of God - unfortunately totally contradictory to Scripture.  Among top googled self talk phrases:“I’m proud of myself for…”“I am confident in mys...  Read More

Good Morning “Safe from the Avenger of Blood.”  Today we are in Joshua 20.  Satan would love nothing more than to convince us that we are already convicted and condemned.  It’s a lie that unfortunately far too many believe.  Why would I turn to Jesus if I was already convinced that His mercy and Grace wasn’t for me?  The truth is - it is for you.  You and your sin is not too much for the grace of ...  Read More

Good Morning “Fruit Growers.” Today we are in Joshua 19.  Joshua continued to cast lots.  Led of God every Israelite Tribe got a piece.  They were all co-inheritors of Gods promise. They all got a piece proportionate to the size of their tribe.  They were not just Gods chosen people - He chose more for His people. By Grace, He also chose to bless them abundantly.   Joshua was the administrator Gra...  Read More

Good Morning “Not Willing to Settle.”  Today we are in Joshua 18.  Moses defeated major kingdoms to the East.  Joshua has defeated major kingdoms inside Canaan.  Israel has begun to spread out across the land, but much work is yet to be done.  God had proven Himself faithful, yet, seven tribes have still not taken possession of their land.  With remnants of inhabitants still left in the land their...  Read More

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
