Title: Not Fearful, But Faithful
Today we celebrate 20 years of ministry at our current location. We pause today to give thanks for God for all He has done, and to tune our hearts to His call for our church as we head into the future. Our God is faithful!
The people God uses aren’t fearless; they are faithful.
Joshua 6:1-16, 20
The promise – Joshua 6:2
God’s promises are true, even when our reality suggests otherwise.
The plan – Joshua 6:3-5
Joshua did not take the city by clever, human military action.
The strategy was the Lord’s.
The obedience – Joshua 6:14
Day after day there were opportunities to quit, to become distracted or preoccupied, but obedience was the key to experiencing God’s promise.
The fulfillment – Joshua 6:20
Because they trusted the promise, submitted to the plan, and chose obedience even when it seemed impossible, they experienced God’s fulfillment.
And today we stand at a critical place in our history…
Do we believe that God is not done?
Do we believe that there are still walls to fall?
We thought God had done big things before, but we can’t even conceive of what it is he has before us…
The question for us….
”Will you go another lap?”
When you feel like you have obeyed and nothing is happening…
”Will you go another lap?”
When you are tempted to give up or lose focus…
”Will you go another lap?”
When you feel tired, or discouraged, or afraid…
”Will you go another lap?”
When you can’t see how God will fulfill His promise…
”Will you go another lap?”
