Part 3: Trust and Obey
In this chapter of Joshua, God’s people were wondering how they were going to defeat a city full of warriors that was surrounded by a wall. All they needed to know is that God would fight for them. Our job, like theirs, isn’t to win the battle; it’s simply to trust and obey Him.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
