Passover on SermonAudio

This summary outlines the transition from Deuteronomy to Joshua, emphasising God's faithfulness across generations as He fulfils His promises. It highlights Joshua's commissioning and the miraculous crossing of the Jordan, which serve as tangible proofs of divine provision and power. The narrative details the preparation for entering the Promised Land, including the renewal of circumcision and the observance of Passover, linking Old Covenant practices to New Covenant principles. A significant focus is placed on the appearance of the Commander of the Lord's army to Joshua, identified as a Christophany that points to Christ's role as King, Priest, and Prophet. The reading is of Moses' final blessing and his death on Mount Nebo.

We see some important things that took place before Joshua goes forward into battle.

Purity in the Church & The Danger of Compromise 1 Corinthians 5 In today's devotional, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel explores the challenging but necessary instructions given in 1 Corinthians 5. When the Corinthian church began boasting about their tolerance of gross sexual immorality, the Apostle Paul delivered a strong message about church discipline and the danger of compromising with worldly influence. In this episode, we cover: Church Discipline: Why the church must not tolerate or celebrate unrepentant sin, and how excommunication is ultimately aimed at the restoration of the individual. The Danger of Leaven: How tolerating just a little bit of immorality acts like leaven, spreading negative influence and cheap grace throughout the entire congregation. Christ Our Passover Lamb: A look at how Jesus fulfilled the Passover, calling believers to live spiritually as "unleavened bread" in sincerity and truth. Judging Inside vs. Outside: Understanding our call to be salt and light in the world without completely isolating ourselves, while maintaining strict boundaries against scandalous sin within the church family.
