At the end of his life, Joshua has some words of wisdom for the Israelites, now that they are in the Promised Land. We see this in the last two chapters of the Book of Joshua. He tells them that while the big things are done, there is still work to do and that they need to stick to their values and objectives. The same is true for us today – we live in the "now" and the "not yet." We have been redeemed through Jesus, but we need to stand firm in the faith, and continue to take ground for the Kingdom. We need to live a promised life.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13 and challenges us to stop measuring God's promises and start stepping into them. When fear rises and obstacles look like giants, God calls us to steward the moment with faith, courage, and anticipation. This is our moment—let's move when God speaks.

Pastor Josh shares "The Long Road," a message about how God often leads us the long way for our good and His glory, drawing from Jeremiah 20:9 and Exodus 13–14. Through Israel's Red Sea moment and Miriam's song, he shows how remembering the "dry ground" builds gratitude and courage in hard seasons. Josh also tells part of 180 Life Church's own long road and points us to Jesus—the ultimate rescue we remember at the Table. Be encouraged to be still in trust and move forward in obedience.

Pastor Josh reminds us that God's boundaries aren't meant to restrict us but to protect us. From Genesis 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we see that every person is made in God's image and called to live within His loving design. Whether it's sexuality or any other sin listed in Scripture, these boundaries flow from His love, not control—because real love always has boundaries.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it truly means to be made in the Imago Dei—the image of God. Every human life, regardless of level of development, location, dependency, or ability, carries sacred worth and divine purpose. Drawing from Genesis 1:26–27 and Jeremiah 1:5, we're reminded that our value isn't assigned by culture but given by our Creator. We may have been made from the dust, but we were made in His image.

Micah 6:8 "what does the Lord require you, O man, but to "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God" We are called to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly - but we need to understand what that looks like from a biblical perspective to walk it out well. Often times we are afraid to be vulnerable with others and ask questions, or we punish others for their vulnerability. We need to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to a world that is divided and hurting.

As we continue our "Truth in Tension" series this Sunday, we are going to be looking at how and why Jesus says there is only one way for us to have eternal life. While this sounds like the Gospel is exclusive, which it is, the Gospel message is also inclusive – anyone can be saved; they just need to put their faith and trust in Jesus.

Pastor Josh kicks off our "Truth in Tension" series with a message entitled "Too Hard A Truth."

Have you ever had a "God, where are you" moment? You're doing the best you can, you're trying your best but things are just not working out. You're facing challenges in life, be it financial, relational, health-related, your job, or something else and just can't see how you'll get through it. Well today we're going to see that God is closer than we think. We're going to look at the Israelites as they leave captivity in Egypt and head to the Promised Land. God guided and protected them, and will do the same for us.

We were made for community. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks our design for relationship and how that can play out within the church body.
