You don’t have to bow to a statue to worship a counterfeit god. In this final installment of our Enter series, Pastor Kareem Smith walks through Joshua 24 and calls us to examine what—or who—has our hearts.

As Joshua reminds Israel of God’s provision and power, he presents them with a choice: keep wavering, or declare your allegiance to the Lord. Kareem unpacks how this same decision faces us today. Whether it’s image, money, politics, or control—anything can become a god we serve. But Jesus invites us into something better.

👣 This message will challenge you to:
• Reflect on where your devotion truly lies
• Practice reverence for God not just on Sundays, but every day
• Step into surrender grounded in God’s goodness

“How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land the Lord has given you?”
– Joshua 18:3

This week’s message, Stuck at the Entrance, is a heartfelt challenge and invitation to anyone who’s found themselves stalled in their spiritual growth. Pastor Josiah Stumbo unpacks the story of the seven tribes of Israel who hesitated to claim what God had already given—and how we often do the same in our walk with Christ.

Using timeless insights from A.B. Simpson and Scripture, Josiah outlines the essential steps for anyone who desires more than just being “in.” This message is for the believer who wants to grow deeper, experience more of Jesus, and break through the spiritual inertia that can quietly take hold.

🔑 Key themes include:

Why staying close to Jesus is the key to real change

What surrender really looks like in everyday life

How to walk by the Spirit instead of striving in your own strength

God’s role in completing the work He started in you

💬 Whether you're feeling spiritually stuck or simply hungry for more of God, this message offers hope, encouragement, and a path forward.

How do you keep your faith strong when the future feels uncertain? You remember the past.

In this message from our Enter series, we look at Joshua 4, where God called the Israelites to stop and mark the moment He led them across the Jordan River. These stones weren’t just physical markers—they were faith builders. They told a story. And they challenged every generation to come to ask, “What has God done here?”

When we remember God’s past provision, we gain strength to trust Him with tomorrow.

In Perspective and Provision, Pastor Tim Meier explores the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, showing how our ability to see clearly, through God’s eyes, can change everything. While most of the spies returned with fear and doubt, Caleb and Joshua saw the same circumstances with a different spirit. Their perspective was shaped not by fear but by trust in God’s character and presence.

Tim challenges us to consider: What if the Promised Land isn’t primarily about geography or blessings, but about knowing and walking with God Himself? When we fix our eyes on God instead of the giants in front of us, we find the courage to follow, even when it costs us something. And as we ask the Spirit to give us that same “different spirit,” we can learn to view life’s challenges through the lens of faith, knowing that God is always better, and always worth it.

In “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now,” Kareem Smith invites us into the story of Joshua 3, where God calls His people to step into uncharted territory, literally. As Israel stands on the edge of the Jordan River, God’s instruction is clear: when the priests carrying the Ark step into the water, He will make a way. This message is a timely reminder that God often calls us to step first before the path becomes clear. Obedience and faith go hand in hand, even when the next step feels risky or unclear.
