In Joshua 15:13-19, we see how Caleb's faithfulness was a blueprint for not only his daughter, but Othniel as well. Caleb lived out his faith in all that he did and say. Because of this, the next generation had something to learn from. What is your faithfulness telling the next generation? Are you teaching them to remain faithful, or enjoy "life" now and worry about all that faith stuff later?

Joshua 15:1-12 shows us the inheritance for the tribe of Judah. We know the importance of this tribe as the Messiah will come from Judah. Because of this, the land is important as well. Pastor Kyle walks us through the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western boundaries, their importance, and the biblical principles from each region. This sparks the question: what are you doing with the boundaries God set in your life?

Many think that just because you're older that you need to slow down. There are plenty of older people who are running marathons, have physical jobs, and get along fine. Pastor Kyle takes us through Joshua 14 and the inheritance of Caleb. At 85 years young, Caleb waited 45 years for God's promise to happen. In those 45 years, Caleb remained faithful and obedient to what God had said. Are you just as strong now as you were when you were younger: physically, mentally, and spiritually?

Finishing up chapter 13 (8-33) of Joshua, Pastor Kyle takes us through what generational faithfulness is and its importance. We may not know it nor understand it, but we are all part of a story that started a long time ago. We are building off the faithfulness of previous generations. What are you leaving for the next generation to build from?

Joshua 13:1-7. Many would say that 13-24 are the boring parts of Joshua. Romans 15:4 says "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." God has a purpose even through the "boring" parts. Here, Joshua is older and yet his mission was not done yet. We may be older, tired, or not feeling useful, but God is not done with us yet. Pastor Kyle takes us through this beginning of the fulfilled promise.

Joshua 12 is one of those chapters that when you see it, you tend to either skim over it or skip it all together due to the list. However, did you know that God has a purpose for everything that is in the Bible? Pastor Kyle takes us through Joshua chapter 12, the purpose of the list of 31 kings that are named one-by-one, and how that relates to biblical remembrance.

Pastor Kyle takes us through the conclusion of Joshua 11. In this passage, God is bringing it all together: the southern and northern battles. In doing this, God is showing His faithfulness in completing what He started many years prior to this. Because of this, we can trust God in His word, His truth, and His presence. And at the end of it all, we can look back and say "Oh, that's what You were doing".

Have you ever wanted to strengthen your relationship with God only to get hit with business and other distractions? Joshua just finished his mission in the Southern Region of Canaan. Now, God is commanding him to do the same in the Northern Region. Pastor Kyle walks us through Joshua's obedience in Joshua 11:1-15 and the obstacles that the enemy multiplies to try and stop him.

The end of Joshua 10, Joshua completely obeys what God wants him to do and where to go. He leads Israel on a battle led mission through the southern cities of Canaan. Pastor Kyle shows us what complete obedience, trusting God's power, persevering, and rest looks like through this passage.

In Joshua 10:16-28, 5 kings hid in a cave. They thought that they were safe. They thought that the darkness and secrecy would save them. Pastor Kyle walks us through several lessons that we can learn from this cave. What are you using as your hiding place? Is it hidden sin...anger...business...how about pride?
