Signs In The Sky Youth Sermon

Don't Rebuild Your Jericho

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Jan 22, 2003

Joshua made a convenant with the Israelites that Jericho wouldn’t be rebuilt, for its ruin should always be a reminder of God’s power. In life, what God destroys in our lives, He intends to stay in ruins.

God had done a mighty work that He promised He would do on behalf of His people. He said Israel would possess Canaan and would destroy all those who oppose His plan. So ...read more
