When Joshua faces the daunting task of leading Israel into the promised land, God calls him to be strong and courageous. But what does true courage look like? Joshua 1 reveals that the greatest challenge is not overcoming our circumstances, but trusting God enough to obey him. God's faithfulness, demonstrated most clearly through Jesus, gives us the courage to obey him, even when it's hard.

Paul agonises over seeing the lost saved, and the saved matured. This all stems from the fact that he sees himself as a servant of the gospel. 

Jesus reigns supreme! He is the one by whom, through whom and for whom all things owe their existence. Not only that he has reconciled us to Him. Jesus is worthy of all worship!

In Matthew 26, different people reveal what they value most by what they are willing to sacrifice. As Jesus approaches the cross, we see what He is willing to sacrifice for us, and are challenged to ask: How precious is Jesus to me?

A true “success story” in life is when you trust in Jesus like the kids, when you turn your back on the god of wealth & when you whole-heartedly, whole-of-life follow Jesus, just like the disciples.

If Romans 9 was a God-eye perspective on how people are saved, Romans 10 presents a human-eye perspective. Along the way, it presents three confronting truths all so that we can be zealous WITH knowledge about Jesus being God’s way to God. 

When it comes to Israel, God’s word hasn’t failed, because God will have mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy. Which is actually good news for you and for me.

If Romans is the Himalayas, Romans 8 is Mount Everest. Romans 8:31-39 is the pinnacle by taking our breath away when it comes to assurance.
