Refuting The Entitled Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

Motivating The Complacent Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

When a ministry grows, there will be those who will hear of the great harvest taking place; but when they see the work that it entails, they will wait for someone else to do the job, hoping to benefit from the hard work of others.

When we communicate a compelling vision for our church and community, we will start seeing people join our fellowship. They will hear of the blessings of the Promised Land and want to become a part of it; however, not everyone will partake of the rewards. It won’t just happen automatically ...read more

God Will Finish What He's Started (Joshua 12:1-23, 13:1-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2022

Joshua is old, and he can't do all that he wants to for God (and there's a lot left to do). God reassures him, "I got this. I'll finish the job."

This is a great passage. Let me try, up front, to persuade you about this. It's super helpful for understanding Joshua as a whole. There's hints scattered throughout this section about the Nephilim, if you're into that sort of thing. And the passage points us to God, and his ...read more

You're Not Too Old To Serve (Joshua 14:6-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If you act with courage, perhaps God will fight with you, and for you.

We've reached the point, in the book of Joshua, where it's mostly focused on the allocation of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel. It's important. It needs to be here. You should read it once, at least, if for no other reason than to keep seeing little notes about how Israel ...read more

Acsah: The Ideal Christian Woman, And Wife (Joshua 15:13-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 22, 2022

The perfect Christian woman is a strong, capable provider. Also, how to pick out husbands for your daughters.

Sometimes when you hear someone teach/preach through a passage, you'll discover that what he says reveals more about himself-- his biases, his presuppositions, his theology, what's important to him-- that it actually reveals about the Bible. When you hear today's passage, I'm a ...read more

Conquering Our Mountains

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.

In the Christian walk we often refer to “entering the valley” and “having mountaintop experiences.” The valleys are the low points in our life, and those times in which we experience hardship and trials. King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

"Another Spirit”

One of the intriguing things about people is the differences among them.

Whether we admit it or not, we all enjoy looking at the many kinds of different people that God created. • Some people we look at with great admiration because of their physical beauty and attractiveness. • Some we look at and with great admiration for their great personality they ...read more

Claiming Our Inheritance

Contributed by Nick S Panico on May 20, 2016

This message uses the story of Caleb to show how Christians can claim their inheritance in the Lord. Caleb had a different spirit and that's why he succeeded where others failed.

“Claiming Our Inheritance” (Eph 1:13-14 NIV) And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, {14} who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the ...read more

"I Want That Mountain!" Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 6, 2016

Caleb was resolute in his faith and objectives. He shows us that life is a matter of perspective. Where others saw obstacles, he saw opportunities.

When I was in high school in New Jersey, I attended a church whose youth leader loved to sing an old-timey chorus: “I want that mountain, I want that mountain; where the milk and honey flow, where the grapes of Eschol grow. I want that mountain, I want that mountain, the mountain that the ...read more

Asking The Right Way Series

As we study the closing chapters in the Book of Joshua, we will note how the Promised Land was divided to the Tribes of Israel and the end of Joshua’s life. But before reading Joshua 14 , look back briefly with me to Numbers 13… v1-2…. v25-33…. Numbers 14:1-10…. v30-35………. And so, ...read more
