Renewing & Receiving
Oct 12, 2025 • Ben Kimmell
The end of Joshua 8 enacts a covenant renewal ceremony that was commanded by Moses back in Deuteronomy 27. In the Deuteronomy text, the emphasis was on warning Israel of the consequences of disobedience, and this it stressed the curses. In Joshua 8, however, the emphasis is on God's blessing in the aftermath of the incident with Achan. In this message, Pastor Ben urges us to renew our covenant commitment to Christ and joyfully receive the blessings of being part of God's family.
