Like Moses, Joshua had reached the end of his journey with the people of God. And like Moses, Joshua left them with a life-defining choice. This week, Pastor Connor concludes our series on Joshua with the showdown at Shechem: Would the Israelites choose to serve Yahweh, or the false gods of Ur, Egypt, and Canaan? This choice had eternal consequences for the people of Joshua’s day, and it does for us, too.

Sometimes our greatest triumphs are followed by great defeats. That’s one theme of this week’s sermon from Joshua, where Pastor Jim tackles the story of the Israelites’ defeat at Ai.

Yet, God can turn even our valleys of trouble into doorways of hope when we repent of our sins and commit to doing things His way.

This week, our hosts dive deeper into Joshua and go over how one persons mistake hurt a whole nation, what Israel did with the king of Ai and what the stolen items were worth at that time. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear from our special guest Micah Hawkinson.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.” This was written to Christians in the first century, but what if we find ourselves with similar struggles today? This week, Pastor Jeremy talks about our culture’s unhealthy relationship with smart phones and social media. Too often, we allow these technologies to consume our lives and drown out the silent moments that God uses to help us grow spiritually. What would it look like to resist that influence? How might our lives be different if we refused to be conformed to this world’s habits and rhythms? He concludes his message with a list of practical steps to take if you find yourself struggling in this area.
