Preacher: Anson McMahon

In this sermon, Pastor Anson McMahon explores the miraculous nature of God through the lens of Joshua chapters 9 and 10.

Focusing on "Commitment Sunday," the message highlights how God honors the faithfulness of His people even when they falter. We witness the surprising story of the Gibeonites - lying pagans who found mercy - and the staggering miracle of the sun standing still.

This sermon serves as a powerful reminder that our God is not bound by the laws of physics or the depth of our sin; He is a God of miracles who remains fully committed to those who trust and obey Him.

Key Points:

• The Importance of Prayer: Even when we think we know the right path, consulting the Lord is vital to avoid deception.
• Keeping Commitments: God expects His people to be committed to the things He is committed to, reflecting His own faithfulness to us.
• Mercy for the Undeserving: The story of the Gibeonites demonstrates how God transforms outsiders into worshipers through proximity to His Word.
• The God of the Impossible: From stopping the earth's rotation to the darkness at the cross, God proves He is Lord over all creation.

Reflect & Discuss:

1. Is there a "small" decision in your life right now that you haven't prayed about because you feel you have it handled?
2. How does knowing that God always keeps His commitments to you change the way you view your promises to others and to the church?
3. What is a "sun stand still" prayer you need to bring before God this week, trusting that nothing is impossible for Him?
