Following Jesus isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. The commands we’re given challenge every part of our human nature, but they reveal the heart of Christ within us. And Pastor Terry reminds you today that victory begins when your eyes stay fixed on Jesus rather than on your circumstances. Whatever struggle you’re facing, don’t let the problem be bigger than the Savior. When Jesus becomes the center of your life, He also becomes the center of your battles, worries, and decisions.

God doesn’t always reveal the whole plan in advance, but He is always faithful to His Word. Imagine the courage it took for those priests to walk towards a flooded river with confidence in God alone. Pastor Terry teaches you today that faith often requires stepping forward before the breakthrough appears. Maybe you’re even standing at your own “Jordan” today, wondering how things will work out. But be encouraged, because when God leads you forward, He already has the miracle prepared.

Wow, the life-changing power of redemption through Christ! Before we knew Jesus, we were trapped in slavery to sin, fear, and the darkness of this world. But God didn’t leave us without hope. Jesus came, died on the cross, and rose again to pay the price for our freedom. Pastor Terry teaches you today that redemption is more than rescue…it’s transformation. When you trust in Jesus, you step out of darkness and into the light of His kingdom. The old life no longer defines you because Christ has made you new.

Hope can rise even in the most unlikely places. With the Israelites camped just beyond the Jordan River, fear spread through Jericho, but faith grew in Rahab’s heart. She cried out for rescue and longed to be a part of God’s people. Then at just the right moment, two Israelite spies arrived at her door. Pastor Terry shares with you today that God often answers prayers in unexpected ways. Even in uncertain times, God sees every heart that turns toward Him in faith and puts His divine mercy to work.

The church exists for a clear and unchanging purpose: to share the gospel and make disciples. The mission of the church is not centered on entertainment, politics, or cultural movements, but on proclaiming the truth of God’s Word and leading people into a growing relationship with Christ. Pastor Terry reminds you today that every ministry, every message, and every act of service should point back to that calling. When you remain grounded in the gospel, lives are transformed, and hearts are drawn closer to Jesus.

Through the book of Joshua, we see a powerful picture of unity among God’s people. Every tribe was willing to sacrifice, serve, and fight side by side against the enemies standing in the way of God’s purpose, showing complete trust and loyalty. In today’s message, Pastor Terry shares how God still calls you to walk in unity, courage, and obedience. When you stand together with other believers, encouraging and strengthening each other, great victories can happen through the power of the Lord.

While the world may not recognize the Spirit of truth, every believer can know His presence deeply and personally as God’s Spirit walks with us, strengthens us, and guides us through every season of life. Pastor Terry tells you in today’s message that as a Christian, you are never left alone because the Holy Spirit dwells within you. The same Spirit that comforted the early church still empowers you now with wisdom, courage, and peace. Through the Holy Spirit, you also have God in you.

Just as the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River and entered the land God promised them, believers today are called to step forward in faith and confidence. Pastor Terry teaches you today that God desires for you to live a victorious Christian life through Jesus Christ. God has always shown His faithfulness by leading His people into triumph when they trusted Him. And that same promise of spiritual victory is still alive for you. No matter what you face, God can guide you through every uncertainty.

At the press of a button on your phone, you can see and talk to someone on the other side of the world. You have instant access to your friends and family, and strangers, through a multitude of messaging and social media platforms. Yet, as Pastor Terry points out in today’s message, we’re living in a time of extreme social isolation and loneliness. We need to be intentional in this area as believers. We need to be reaching out to others and prioritizing relationships over comfort and convenience.

What an amazing privilege to help lead a lost soul to the peace, purpose, and security found in Jesus Christ! If you’ve experienced this privilege, it’s unforgettable. Sadly, it’s become more and more uncommon for many believers. It’s much more comfortable to form our own communities and avoid contact with the unbelievers around us. As Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, our calling to reach the lost with the Good News of Jesus needs to be central to our lives as His followers.
