The crowds declare their love of God and their want to commit to God's leadership. Joshua, standing in the midst of the crowds, tells them "You'll never do it." By the way, it was Joshua who rallied the crowds, organized them, and asked them which god they will serve. His response feels crass and disregarding and its terribly honest. We say one thing with God and will forever go our own way. It is the nature of our humaness. How God responds to our sin and brokeness is the crux of this conversation, and lies at the heart of Joshua's rally at the end of his book. #sermon #brokenpromises #summersermons #covenant #Godisenough
