Day 1: Jesus Beholds YouReading: Luke 5:27-32Devotional: When Jesus encountered Matthew, the text says He "beheld" him—not just a casual glance, but a penetrating vision that saw beyond the tax collector's booth to the man's deepest need. Whatever shame you carry, whatever stains mark your past, Jesus sees you with that same compassionate gaze. He doesn't see you as the world labels you or even as...

Fresh off their stunning victory at Jericho, Israel was ready to move forward with their conquest of Canaan. But Israel’s army suffered an unexpected and devastating defeat at the small town of Ai.

Scripture: Joshua 5:13-6:27God Fights the BattleWhen Israel stood before the mighty city of Jericho, they didn’t win the victory with swords or strategy.

For six days they marched in silence, and on the seventh day, the walls fell—not by human might, but by the power of God (Joshua 6:20).Judgment and MercyJericho’s fall was both a picture of God’s ...
Obedience Before Battle
September 16th, 2025
Israel had just crossed the Jordan River and stood ready to face their enemies. By every military instinct, this was the moment to attack.

From that dry riverbed, the Lord commanded them to gather twelve stones (one for each tribe) and set them up as a lasting memorial. These “living stones” reminded Israel, and future generations, of God’s mighty power and faithful love....
Welcoming the Outsider
September 2nd, 2025
Rahab’s story in Joshua 2 is one of the most surprising in all of Scripture. She lived in Jericho, a city under God’s judgment, and she was a prostitute—someone seen as an outsider not just by Israel, but even within her own culture. By every measure, she was far from God’s people and God’s promises....
Be Strong & Courageous: God Is With Us

This past Sunday we kicked off a new sermon series through the book of Joshua, beginning with chapter 1. The theme that rings throughout this opening chapter is both a command and a promise: “Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”God’s Commands to JoshuaAs Israel prepared to cross into the Promised Land, God appointed Joshua to take Moses’ place as leader. Th...
The Lord is My Shepherd

Few passages of Scripture are as loved and familiar as Psalm 23. It’s been sung, memorized, whispered at bedsides, and quoted in times of both joy and sorrow. Charles Spurgeon once called it “the nightingale of the Psalms,” while Max Lucado described it as God’s voice “whispering peace to the weary soul.”What makes Psalm 23 so powerful is its simplicity and intimacy. A child ca......
