Preacher: Anson McMahon

Summary: In this powerful sermon on Joshua 10, Pastor Anson explores the profound reality of what happens when we align our lives with God.

Using the story of the Gibeonites and the sun standing still, he reminds us that while peace with God often brings conflict with the world, we serve a God who fights for His people. The message challenges listeners to live with integrity, keep their commitments even when it’s difficult, and trust that God can accomplish far more than we ever could on our own.

Whether you are facing a "20-mile uphill march" or a battle that feels bigger than you, this sermon offers the soul-stirring encouragement that the Creator of the universe inclines His ear to the prayers of His children.

Key Points:

• Peace with God brings conflict with the world.
• Integrity: Doing the right thing even when it costs you.
• God uses our sacrifices and steps of faith.
• Divine intervention: God can do more than we can.
• The power of prayer: God listens to His people.

Reflect & Discuss:

1. In what areas of your life is your faith in Jesus currently meeting opposition from the world?
2. Integrity is defined as "doing the right thing even when no one is watching." Where is God calling you to show greater integrity this week?
3. What "battle" are you facing right now that you need to intentionally surrender to God in prayer?
