A man named Caleb has been waiting for years to receive an inheritance first promised to him by Moses. But rather than becoming bitter because of the wait, he is grateful for his inheritance, no matter how long it might have taken him to receive it. What good things will come to us when we are willing to wait?

Though the Israelites win many battles in Joshua, it is ultimately God who gives them the victory. He is powerful not just against enemies, but over all creation. When we face battles we cannot win, who will we entrust ourselves to? After Bible Class, Concordia's Executive Team does a Q&A with attendees.

After the Israelites conquer Jericho, one of them, Achan, steals some of its plunder. God sees what has happened and punishes all of Israel by allowing them to lose their next battle against Ai. The lies we tell always hurt others. We are called to be people of the truth.

Concordia’s interns share their experience serving with our high school ministry in Oklahoma.

When Joshua fights the battle of Jericho, before he fights, he waits. He takes six days to march around the city with trumpets. It is only after giving the residents a chance of Jericho to repent does God decide to destroy the city. God was patient with Jericho and He is patient with us. Will we use His patience as an opportunity to repent of sin?

As Joshua and the Israelites are preparing to march on Jericho, they send some spies to the city to do some reconnaissance work. A foreigner named Rahab helps them and is blessed for doing so. This reminds us that God’s promises and God’s work are not just for certain people, but for all people.

The book of Joshua opens with a recap of Israel’s wandering through the wilderness. In this message, we’ll recap the Pentateuch and discover how our past can both warn us and teach us.

Pastor Paul answers your faith-related questions!

When we pray and a prayer goes seemingly unanswered, our faith can be rocked. In this message, we consider how God answers our prayers.

There are many reasons that a good God may allow suffering in our lives. Sometimes, it is to train us. Other times, it is to call us to repentance. In every instance, God uses our suffering to ultimately bless us, even if we can’t immediately see it.
