Joshua And The Walls Of Jericho

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 22, 2020

This is a great children's story. But as adults, it prompts some difficult questions. Is it even true? How could God destroy an entire city? It's also a wonderful example of God's people overcoming a seemingly-insurmountable obstacle through faith and obedience.

Shawn Drake message and expanded upon) The narrative of Joshua leading the Israelites to bring down the walls of Jericho is a powerful account that demonstrates the faithfulness and might of the lord.

Building Against Opposition Series

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Mar 6, 2021

Just as Nehemiah was giving the call to build the walls of Jerusalem, each of you also have a calling. But know that it is easier to quit than to commit. Do not listen to the words and criticism of your opposition and focus on the word of God.

Place is not a barrier to worship. Place is irrelevant. We do not worship a place. We worship in spirit. This is not referring to the Holy Spirit; this refers to the heart. We must worship with the heart.

Let The Walls Collapse Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Oct 12, 2015

The walls we build are false sense of security. Only God can protect us. Just like the walls of Jericho, let these walls collapse and allow God's hand of protection be upon us. The safest place for a child of God is to be in His hands.

Laziness
