This message explores how God reveals Himself as both powerful and faithful through His provision for Israel in the wilderness and in the Promised Land. Drawing from Joshua 5:11–12, it highlights that God provides, invites our participation, and often supplies our needs in different ways. It also addresses the challenging question of why God’s provision sometimes seems absent by offering eight biblical considerations. Ultimately, the message points us to Jesus, the true bread of life who sustains us eternally.

Just as Canadians pause on Remembrance Day to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom, Joshua 5:10 records Israel’s own “Remembrance Day” — the Passover — a sacred reminder of God’s deliverance. In this message, we trace the Passover from its first celebration in Egypt to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Through His sacrifice, death passes over all who place their faith in Him. As the church remembers through communion, we are called to never forget the God who saves, delivers, and remains with His people.

Before claiming the land, Israel had to reclaim their identity. God’s covenant mark reminded them who they belonged to—and who they no longer were. In Christ, we too are cut from our old life and raised into something brand new. The sign has changed, but the call remains: belong fully to God.

We all forget — but God calls His people to remember. Just as Israel set up twelve stones from the Jordan to remind future generations of God’s faithfulness and power, we too need memorials that point us back to what God has done. Remembering shapes who we are, strengthens our faith, and fuels our obedience when new obstacles arise.

Today, the church itself serves as God’s living memorial — a people rescued from impossible situations, set together to declare His strength and faithfulness to the world. When we remember what God has done, we trust Him more deeply, fear Him rightly, and live as a testimony that the Lord’s hand is strong.

This message examines Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River as a powerful moment of transition from wilderness wandering to entering God’s promises. It explains the historical and spiritual significance of the Jordan River and the Ark of the Covenant, showing how God miraculously stopped the river’s flow to lead His people forward. The sermon draws five parallels for the church today: we are always in transition, everyone must move forward together, we follow God’s Word, all believers share in ministry, and consecration prepares us for God’s wonders. Ultimately, it calls believers to be spiritually ready, united, and obedient as God leads them into greater promises.

In Joshua 2, we meet Rahab—a surprising hero who risked everything to align with the God of Israel. As judgment loomed over Jericho, Rahab’s faith and quick action became her family’s path to salvation. This message draws powerful parallels between her story and our own need to be saved from coming judgment. God's mercy is still available today for those who want it.

God promised His people the land—but they still had to go in and fight for it. Why? Because faith takes action, and unbelief is the real enemy. This message explores how the spies in Joshua’s day reveal a deeper truth for us today: it’s not your circumstances holding you back—it’s what you’re believing. Want to experience the life Jesus promised? Start by asking: What’s standing in your way… and are you believing God enough to overcome it?

In this message a striking parallel is drawn between Joshua addressing Israel and Jesus speaking to His church today. It reminds us that when someone speaks to us—especially Christ—our response reveals our heart and shapes the whole community of believers. We are called to hear His clear commands and rely on His strength to obey. In doing so, we discover the life and blessing that come from following Him together.

This message explores the powerful example of the 2½ tribes in Joshua 1 who, though they had already secured their land and rest, were called to cross the Jordan and fight for their brothers until everyone received their promise. In the same way, God calls spiritually mature believers today to use their strength, peace, and victories—not for isolation, but for intercession. Drawing parallels to Jesus’ own self-giving love, this sermon challenges us to give our best, take the lead, and stay in the fight until others are doing okay in Christ too. Because in God’s family, personal peace isn’t enough—we’re called to pursue collective wholeness.

This message unpacks how God moves His people as one through a clear chain of communication—seen in Joshua’s leadership and fulfilled through Jesus and His church. Just like Israel followed Joshua into the Promised Land, the church today follows Jesus through the leadership He’s established. God’s design for unity through His Word and His leaders isn’t just practical—it reflects His very nature. When we move together under His direction, we show the world what He’s like.
