WINDOW TO FAITH

In this podcast, we explore a sermon by Pastor Philip De Courcy on Joshua 1:1-9, where God commissions Joshua to lead Israel after Moses’ death. Pastor De Courcy highlights the importance of trusting God’s unchanging presence during transitions and challenges. Just as God guided Joshua, He provides what we need to face new seasons and overcome difficulties. The message reminds us that God is actively working for us, encouraging us to trust in His faithfulness through every challenge. Tune in for insights on applying this to our lives today.

The sermon "Faith's Reward" focuses on Hebrews 11:32–12:2 and highlights the great cloud of witnesses—heroes of faith like Gideon, David, Samson, and more. These Old Testament believers endured challenges and victories but did not receive the final promise in their lifetimes. They waited for something better, just as we do today. The key message is that both they and we are waiting together for the fulfillment of God’s ultimate promise.

Jesus is the founder and perfecter of our faith, and by looking to Him, we can endure the trials of life. Our faith joins us to Christ, giving us strength and hope as we await the resurrection, the gathering of the redeemed, and the new creation. The sermon encourages us to run our race with endurance, laying aside sin, trusting that Christ will bring our faith to full completion in eternity.

This sermon on the faith of Rahab from Hebrews 11:31 and Joshua 2 emphasizes three key lessons from her story. First, Rahab's faith was simple—she believed in who God is, what He had done, and what He would do. Even with limited knowledge, she trusted God's sovereignty and judgment. Second, Rahab's faith showed deep commitment—she risked her life to protect God's people, proving the depth of her faith through action. Lastly, God's grace covered her sins, offered her hope, and brought real change in her life. Despite her sinful past, Rahab became part of the lineage of King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, showing that God's grace can transform anyone.

This sermon on Moses' faith from Hebrews 11:23–28 highlights three key aspects of faith: Moses chose to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy Egypt's fleeting pleasures as faith helps us focus on eternal rewards Moses left Egypt by faith trusting in the unseen God and faith gives us strength to endure challenges knowing God is with us by faith Moses observed the Passover pointing to Jesus' sacrifice and faith brings peace knowing Christ’s blood forgives our sins and secures peace with God
