Healed by His Hands | Faith Over Fear and Truth Over Feelings

In this Bible study, we walked through the closing chapters of Joshua and saw that entering the Promised Land was not the end of Israel’s responsibility. They still had to guard their unity, remember what God had done, and remain faithful to Him.

From the cities of refuge to the altar that nearly caused conflict, these chapters show us the importance of mercy, communication, and not reacting before we know the whole story. Joshua’s final message also reminds us that no one can serve God for us. Each of us must decide whom we will serve and whether we will remain faithful after the victory.

Jesus is the refuge our souls need, but we must willingly come to Him and continue walking in obedience.

In Joshua 17-19, some of the tribes received their inheritance, but possessing the land still required faith, obedience, and action. These chapters remind us that we can’t allow fear, comfort, excuses, or comparison to keep us from walking fully in what God has called us to do.

In this Bible study, we’ll discuss the danger of settling for less, the importance of trusting God when the assignment feels bigger than us, and why every person’s portion will not look the same. God has not forgotten you, and what He has for you does not have to resemble what He gave someone else. The question is: will we remain where we are comfortable, or will we move forward in faith?

All Scripture is from the King James Version (KJV). I encourage you to study the Word for yourself, pray for understanding, and allow the Holy Ghost to lead you into all truth. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God” (2 Timothy 2:15)

God had given Israel the land, but they still had to possess it. In Joshua 13-16, we see the danger of becoming comfortable with unfinished obedience, the faith of Caleb as he claimed what God promised, and the inheritance divided among the tribes. This study reminds us that God is faithful, but we must continue walking by faith, obeying His Word, and refusing to settle before the work is finished. What God has promised is worth believing Him for. Open your Bible and study with me from the KJV.

What does it mean when the battle lasts longer than we expected? We see that opposition doesn’t mean God has forgotten us, and a long battle doesn’t mean He has left us.

Israel’s battles were physical, but ours are spiritual. Through Jesus Christ, we have salvation, the power of the Holy Ghost, strength for today, and hope beyond what we’re facing. Let these chapters remind you that God is faithful, even when victory takes time.

Israel had seen God bring down the walls of Jericho, but their next experiences showed why one victory can’t replace continued obedience.

In these chapters, we look at hidden sin, moving forward after repentance, and the danger of making decisions without seeking God. These chapters also remind us to remain watchful, obey His Word, and follow the leading of the Holy Ghost, even when we feel confident about what (we think) comes next.

God brought Israel through the Jordan, but Jericho was still standing ahead of them. In this study of Joshua chapters 4-6 KJV, we discuss remembering what God has done, preparing the next generation, remaining consecrated, and obeying when nothing appears to be changing.

We’ll also look at Joshua’s encounter with the captain of the Lord’s host, the end of the manna, the fall of Jericho, and how Rahab’s story reveals God’s mercy and power to redeem a life.

Sometimes we’re asking God to remove the wall while He’s dealing with something within us.

Moses’ assignment has ended, but God’s promise hasn’t. Now Joshua must lead, and Israel has reached the point where everything they’ve been taught has to become something they’re willing to walk in.

In this study, we read Deuteronomy 34 and Joshua 1-3 KJV verse by verse and look at what these chapters teach us about faith, obedience, courage, change, and trusting God when we don’t know what’s ahead.

As you listen, ask yourself: Am I only learning the Word, or is what I’m learning actually changing the way I live?

Moses is nearing the end of his life, Joshua is preparing to lead Israel, and God already knows that His people will eventually turn away from Him. So why does God give them a song before Moses dies, and what are they supposed to remember when their leader is gone?

In this Bible study, we walk through and look at Moses’ final warnings, Israel’s danger of forgetting God after experiencing His blessings, the transition to Joshua, and Moses’ final blessing over the tribes.

Most importantly, we’ll see why Israel’s history still carries a warning for us today.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” - 1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

What happens when something shocking is preached from the pulpit, but you can’t find it anywhere in the Bible?

A preacher said Jesus went to hell after the crucifixion and was sexually violated by demons. That’s a serious claim, and it deserves a biblical response.

Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), and Scripture shows us Christ victorious, not defeated by demons.

This is bigger than one preacher. It’s a reminder of why we have to know the Word for ourselves. No matter how large someone’s following is or how convincing they sound, if it doesn’t line up with Scripture, we shouldn’t accept it as truth.

📖 “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21

What happens when we know what God said, but keep convincing ourselves that we'll be fine doing things our own way?

These chapters forces us to look beyond what we say we believe and examine what our choices are actually saying. Israel had experienced God's provision, correction, and mercy, yet they still had to decide whether they would obey Him.

In this study, we're talking about obedience, consequences, repentance, and what happens when we become comfortable ignoring conviction. We'll also see something we can't afford to miss: God's warning is not the absence of His mercy. Sometimes the warning is His mercy.

Moses eventually brings it down to a choice: “therefore choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV).

So as we read Deuteronomy 28-30 together, don't just ask what Israel chose. Ask yourself: What am I choosing with the life I'm actually living?
