Pastor Steve Lindenmeyer preaches from Joshua 5.

This week, we continue our Theophany series with the Lord's appearance to Joshua. With the baton of leadership now passed from Moses to Joshua, the Israelites stand at the threshold of the Promised Land—yet the fortified walls of Jericho loom before them as a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. As Joshua prepares for battle, he encounters the Commander of the army of the Lord. His response—marked by humility, submission, and worship—teaches us vital lessons about godly leadership. When Joshua receives and follows the Lord's marching orders, the result is nothing short of miraculous victory. His example challenges us to consider: What does it look like to lead with the proper heart posture before God?
