| Jan 15, 2023 | The Scandal of Judgment | Many people, including many Christians, are scandalized by God's judgment on Jericho. This sermon answers objections and shows how we must not be ashamed of any part of God's Word. Instead of being embarrassed by God's judgments, we should rejoice in them and in His salvation. |
| Jan 22, 2023 | God's Blessings and Curses | This sermon digs into the theology and practical outworking of blessings and curses. Certainly God pronounces both, but so do demons. It is critical to spiritual warfare to know this subject. |
| Feb 5, 2023 | Individuals are Covenantally Connected | It may not seem fair for all of Israel to suffer because of the sin of one person, but Achan illustrates the reality that God deals with us covenantally. |

| Aug 13, 2023 | They Can Run, But They Can't Hide | God's enemies can't escape His judgments. Christians should never slacken in spritiual warfare against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Each of us has only two choices. Bear God's curse yourself forever in hell. Or believe in Jesus to bear God's curse for you and give you eternal life. |
| Aug 20, 2023 | Our God is a God of Judgment | This sermon applies one of the more troubling passages in Joshua to God's character and judgments. |
| Aug 27, 2023 | Against Overwhelming Odds | Joshua and the Israelites faced overwhelming odds from the Northern Canaanite coalition army with fearsome iron chariots. But they didn't look at the odds. They looked to the Lord and overcame the enemy in His strength. We are to do the same in our spiritual warfare with the world, the flesh, and the devil. |
| Sep 10, 2023 | No Unfinished Business | When Joshua was commissioned to do something, he completely obeyed the Lord. He left no unfinished business. |
| Sep 17, 2023 | The Sovereignty of God Over All Things | This passage highlights God's right to extend mercy or withhold mercy; to soften or to harden human hearts. It explains what happens when He withdraws His restraining hand. God is sovereign over all and men are responsible. |
| Sep 24, 2023 | Conquering Our Giants | Joshua had a giant killing faith; a faith that believed God's promises; a faith that not only received what God promised but passed it on to the next generation. |
| Oct 1, 2023 | I Love it When a Plan Comes Together | Joshua 12 is not simply a random listing of cities and kings conquered by Joshua. It teaches about God's faithfulness to His promises and the importance of strategic planning. |

| Oct 15, 2023 | Land, Real Land | What is the Bible's theology of land? |
| Nov 26, 2023 | Caleb: A Man With A God-Sized Vision, Part 1 | Caleb was a godly leader with a God-sized vision like William Carey. His outward achievements flowed from his inward character. That inward character helps to explain his phenomenal leadership. |
| Dec 3, 2023 | Caleb: A Man With A God-Sized Vision, Part 2 | Caleb was a godly leader with a God-sized vision like William Carey. His outward achievements flowed from his inward character. He pressed into the Lord and had a multi-generational vision. He was humble, patient, enduring, and tenacious. He didn't allow the faithlessness and hopelessness of others to discourage or disillusion him. Believing and hoping in God's promises, He confidently and courageously claimed His inheritance. |
| Dec 17, 2023 | Caleb: A Man With A God-Sized Vision, Part 3 | Caleb was a godly leader with a God-sized vision. His outward achievements flowed from his inward character. Joshua blessed Caleb. Our blessings can actually impart grace to others. Caleb's inheritance was tangible. Hebron was a place of honor. Keeping a God-sized vision requires consistent pressing into the Lord, and believing that God can change culture. We should not measure the giants by our strength, but by God's strength. |
| Jan 14, 2024 | God's First Sovereign Distribution: Judah | Our God is a promise-keeping God with a long-term perspective. He is sovereign over the lot. Borders are useful for tribes/states and clans/counties. Judah received the best portion because the Lord Jesus Christ would come from the tribe of Judah (Gen. 49:8-12). |
| Jan 21, 2024 | Caleb as a Cameo of Faith | Caleb's faith helped him not to be a slave of the past, and was based on God's word and promises. He trusted God to use the share that he got, to make the most pf what he had. Faith often has to reconquer what has been conquered before. Caleb trusted God by possessing all his possessions. He also groomed leaders to walk by faith, and his faith was passed on to his daughter Achsah. |
| Jan 28, 2024 | Othniel and Achsah as Two Cameos of Faith | Othniel is a model man of faith, a model soldier and suitor. He patiently waited for a helpmeet. He led and sacrificed for his bride. And his faith rejected the wisdom of the world. Achsah is a model woman of faith. She was a woman who took initiative. She knew how to express her ideas in a way that honored others. And she was future oriented. |
| Feb 11, 2024 | The Blessing of Cities | Every word of Scripture is important and we must live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4). Cities and the countryside are both important and they need each other. Both can be good or bad places to live. Judah's land was divided into counties (mishpacha). Judah failed to drive the Philistines out of their coastal cities and the Jebusites out of Jerusalem. This was a failure of faith and action. We must not give Satan a foothold but drive the enemy out of our lives completely. |

| Mar 10, 2024 | Motivating the Demotivated | Joshua pointed the people to examples of the power of God in God-connected worship, and in the testimonies of God’s grace in the past and in other people’s lives. He breaks down the work into achievable steps and doesn’t allow the division of labor to discourage. He moves them from vision to action. |
