In this sermon from Joshua 7, Pastor Jon English explains the Magnitude of Covenant Transgression, the Thoroughness of Divine Investigation, the Terror of Divine Judgement, and the good news of thoroughness of Christ's atonement.

Abiding in Christ begins and ends with His Word abiding in us. It is when we are a Word-saturated people that we will mirror Christ in the way we pray and live and seek and serve and give and proclaim and set our priorities. When we're saturated with the Word, we will personally bear the miraculous fruit by which the Father is glorified and we will know the joy of our Prayers being answered in ways that are astounding. Today we celebrate God answering our prayers!

In this sermon from Joshua 6, Pastor Jon English explains how the story of Joshua and Jericho displays the wisdom and power of God in many different and unexpected ways

“Apart from Me, you can do nothing” – Jesus. You may be able to run a marathon without Jesus, or do a hundred tax returns without Jesus, or be a straight A student without Jesus. But without Christ, you can’t trust in God as Jesus trusts in Him. You can’t love people like Jesus does. You can’t understand Scripture and obey it as Jesus does. You can’t live your life to please and serve God as Jesus does. But in Christ, you can do all things of eternal significance.

In this sermon from Joshua 5, Pastor Jon English explains the significance of the circumcision rite, the Passover meal, and the Commander of the Lord’s Army.

In this final sermon on Esther, we explore the historical establishment of the Feast of Purim for the Israel and the wider application of how God leads His people to remember His deliverance, grace, and provision. With Scriptures' final reflections on Esther and Mordecai, we also see how we are left anticipating the perfect King that we all long for and have now realized in Jesus Christ.

In this sermon from Joshua 4, Pastor Jon English explains the significance of the Jordan crossing, the exaltation of the Lord’s awesome servant, and the significance of the memorial stones.

God has shown His grace and favor to Esther and Mordecai, by giving them victory over their personal enemy, Haman, and by elevating them to a place where they could pass another edict from the king that provided a way of salvation for the Jewish people. All the Jews in the Empire were rejoicing over this decree, but they still had to fight to overcome their enemies. This sermon explores Israel's Holy War, Christ's Holy War, and the Believer's Holy War.

Pastor Jordan shows us how John thought about man continually practicing sin and how Christ was victorious over sin. 

In a stunning turn of events, Haman the Agagite, enemy of the Jewish people, has gone from being one of the most powerful and blessed men in the Persian Empirem to being executed on the very stake he had prepared for Mordecai the Jew. The man who had instigated the genocide of the Jewish people was gone, but the edict he passed to destroy the Jews remained. Chapter 8 now gives us the details of how God would save His people, making them more than conquerors.
