Have you had those moments? Have you felt that check in your spirit before? Today, Pastor Daniel helps you understand that those feelings are like a warning light for your life. You don’t just ignore them. You need to pause and see if that feeling is from the Lord. You ask Him if He has something to show you. That’s how you honor the check. You pause and you pray. And, as you’ll find, many times God gives us those checks to protect us from danger.

Pastor Daniel isn’t pulling any punches today as he challenges you to consider where your heart is. Are you following the ethics of God’s kingdom or have you just absorbed the priorities of the culture around you? Because you have a relationship with God and are part of His family, you’re not a citizen of this world. You belong to Him. And so His ways and His values should be the ones that you seek to live by and foster in your circle of influence.

You might be too old to worry about a monster under your bed, but there are still things that grip your heart with fear. That’s why it’s not a coincidence that scripture has so many reminders to not be afraid. God knows your heart. He knows your struggles. And He wants you to know that He is with you. You don’t have to worry. You don’t have to be afraid. So, stay with us today as Pastor Daniel shares how God encouraged the Israelites when they were afraid.

That’s such a huge shift in thinking-- To consider how your choices would reflect on God’s reputation in your community and the world. Like Pastor Daniel says today, you’re not used to thinking this way. Usually, your first priority is yourself. But, making your witness for the Lord your primary concern changes your starting point. Then you’ll begin to see life in a whole new way. And God will harness this new perspective for your good and His glory.

There’s this video of a kid landing a great trick on his skateboard. He’s so excited about his victory that he stops paying attention and crashes into a pole. And isn’t that true to life? Often your biggest failures follow right after your greatest triumphs. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that this is what happened to the Israelites. They were so caught up in the glory of their victory at Jericho that they took their eyes off of God and paid the price at Ai.

Don’t believe the song… you’re not an island. See, our culture tells you that what you do doesn’t affect anyone else. But that’s just not true. Today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that, like a pebble thrown in the water, your choices have a ripple effect. What you do makes an impact on the lives of the people around you. You’re connected in ways that you might not even see. So when you go against God’s ways, you weaken yourself and your community.

Even before the Israelites had any battles, God told Joshua that Jericho was theirs. God had given the city into their hands. He wanted them to have faith and trust what they hadn’t seen yet. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that God wants the same for you. You can walk with hopeful expectation and confidence that God will do the things that He said He would. You can believe that His word will come to pass. This is the kind of faith that pleases the Lord.

Change can be a struggle. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, change- and the uncertainty it brings with it- is uncomfortable. Well, today, you’ll see how God switched up the way He provided for the Israelites. Their daily manna stopped once they entered the Promised Land because God wanted to provide for them in a different way. Stay with us as Pastor Daniel helps you think through how to respond to your fears and feelings when God’s provision changes.

God’s ways don’t always make sense to us. And that’s exactly what you find in today’s passage. God is giving the Israelites their final instructions before their first battle in the Promised Land. And He tells them to be circumcised. That seems counter-productive, right? Well, Pastor Daniel shares that God is after our faithfulness and wants what is best for us. You’ll find that what didn’t make sense at first is, by far, the best choice in the long run.

You might’ve heard people talking about living their best life. But what does that really mean? And how do you know it’s the best? Well, today, Pastor Daniel explains that God created you to live connected to Him in a way that brings hope and purpose to your life. When you let Him harness your natural gifts and talents for His work, you’ll experience a fullness of life that can’t be found anywhere else. That’s the fulfilled, abundant life you’re looking for.
