Preacher: Anson McMahonSummaryWhy would God command the Israelites to perform a risky procedure right after they entered enemy territory? This sermon dives into Joshua 5 to explore the command for circumcision as a profound act of obedience. Discover the critical difference between "worldly wisdom," which prioritizes immediate safety and logic, and "godly wisdom," which calls for radical faith in God's timing and protection. The core message is a challenge to trust God's word, even when it seems costly or vulnerable, and to rely on Him as our ultimate defender, protector, and provider.Key Points:<ul><li>Worldly wisdom and godly wisdom are two very different things.</li><li>It is the responsibility of parents to prioritize the spiritual lives of their children.</li><li>Faith is trusting what God says and allowing Him to be my defender, protector, and provider.</li></ul>Reflect & Discuss:<ol><li>In what area of your life does obeying God (godly wisdom) feel risky or contradict worldly wisdom?</li><li>As a parent or mentor, what is one practical step you can take this week to prioritize the spiritual life of a child?</li><li>When have you had to trust God as your "defender" after taking a step of faith that made you feel vulnerable?</li></ol>Main Passage: Joshua 5:1-9Supporting Passages:<ul><li>Genesis 17</li><li>Proverbs 16:8</li><li>Proverbs 22:6</li><li>Matthew 5:44</li><li>Acts 20:35</li><li>Romans 2:28-29</li><li>Romans 5:8</li></ul>
