In this final sermon of the series we'll watch as the people of Israel gather with Joshua one last time. He'll call them to a moment of decision and warn them before sending them off to live their lives. In this chapter we'll be faced with the reality that the law we love will crush us if we try to live by it.

As we near the close of the book of Joshua, we will see that just as there is something threatening the possession and enjoyment of the Promised Land for the people of Israel, there is something threatening our participation and enjoyment of the life Jesus came to give us. We'll examine three charges that Joshua gives in order that we would more fully engage in the promised inheritance God has for us.

Joshua 22 begins the fourth and final major section of the book. After entering the promised land, taking the land, and dividing the land the people turn their attention to living in the land. But the first obstacle they face is not what they had hoped for. In this sermon we'll be called as a church to step into the role we've been given as minsters of grace in each other's lives.

Strong & Courageous / Joshua 21

In this sermon we will look at how Gods justice and mercy are on display through the cities of refuge, and examine how Jesus being our place of refuge presents a call and a challenge to the church today.

In this passage, we see Israel enter a time of rest from war and settle the tribes of Israel into allotments of land as they receive their inheritance.

Joshua 10-12

After Joshua and the people deal with their own propensity for self-sabotage through confession and repentance the scene immediately shifts back to the enemies around them. But instead of a head on attack the battle requires the discernment of deception. How does the deception come? Why do the people lower their guard? And what does this mean for followers of Jesus with a very real enemy in this world?

Joshua chapter seven is the first time we see Israel suffer defeat since the handoff from Moses to Joshua. What happened to their divine defence? What was it that got in the way? And what can we, as Jesus followers today, learn about cultivating a life in the presence of God through it?

Text: Philippians 1:3-11

In what is my last sermon as a pastor at Westside I want nothing more than to express my thanks to the Lord and to the Body of Westside and do so by borrowing from Paul and Philippians 1:3-11.
