Strong + Courageous: Sun Stand Still

Feb 20, 2023

We’re continuing on with Part 3 our February 2023 series, Strong + Courageous, where we're discovering what it means to live by faith, lead with strength, and lean on God in every situation.

In his message, Sun Stand Still, Pastor Eric shares an encouraging word with us as we study Scriptures from Joshua chapter 10. We are reminded that, with God, nothing is impossible (Luke 18:27) and we are discovering practical ways to live ‘Sun Stand Still’ lives, just like Joshua did in the Old Testament. 

In the first two weeks of Strong + Courageous (Into Faith We Go and Promise Lands + Problem Lands) we followed Joshua as he began his faith adventure to lead the Israelite nation into the long-awaited Promise Lands following the death of Moses. This week, we’re picking up right where we left off last week in the book of Joshua and diving into an incredible story where we see Joshua align His will to God’s and miraculous events happen because of his...

Strong + Courageous: Promise Lands + Problem Lands

Feb 13, 2023

We’re back with Part 2 of our February series, Strong + Courageous, where we're discovering what it means to live by faith, lead with strength, and lean on God in every situation. This week, we continued studying the book of Joshua and explored the many problems of the Promise Land, along with Joshua’s response to each of the unexpected challenges he faced as he and the Israelites entered Canaan. 

Pastor Eric shares some of the many problems Joshua faces upon entering the Promise Land and the 3 noteworthy choices he makes in response. We’re encouraged to follow Joshua’s example and choose position over pressure, obedience over opposition, and trust over treasure as we pursue God’s will for our lives and journey through our own faith adventures! 

If you weren’t with us for Part 1 of our series, be sure to watch the replay. As a quick refresher, we covered chapter 1 of Joshua last week and we discovered how all of us–no matter where...

Strong + Courageous: Into Faith We Go

Feb 09, 2023

We’re kicking off our brand new February series, Strong + Courageous, with an encouraging message from Pastor Eric. Throughout the month, we’re discovering what it means to live by faith, lead with strength, and lean on God in every situation. 

In his message, Into Faith We Go, Pastor Eric shares a word about promises that we can hold onto about the adventure of faith from the first chapter of Joshua. In Joshua 1:1-9, we’re reminded that God’s presence is enough, God’s power is sufficient, and God’s word is unfailing. It’s time to go take the land! And it’s going to be an amazing month as we continue studying the life of Joshua together. 

Not only is this passage our foundational scripture for Into Faith We Go, but it also highlights God’s direct, specific commission to Joshua following Moses’ death. The entire book of Joshua focuses on his life, his leadership, and his legacy, all under the direction of...
