As the first step into their newly rediscovered homeland, God again leads in dramatic fashion. This fight would be His fight. The people were required to listen, obey and follow, but God alone provided the power to win.
The Point: Our God’s holy power should both inspire and humble us.
Next Steps: What struggle can we turn over to God this week?

Memory can be a blessing or a curse, depending upon what we are remembering. Our more powerful memories constantly push themselves into and influence our present. Through Joshua, therefore, God commands His people to memorialize and remember this event, so that it can guide them far into the future when they encounter new challenges.

At last the day comes when planning gives way to action. However, this was no ordinary plan and no ordinary action. God made it clear that He was the true Leader of His people, leaving no doubt about whose vision they were following.

God’s sovereignty uses the wisdom He invests in His leaders. To overcome their enemies, the leaders befriend an ally who might be discounted by some. However, the redemptive story of God is powerfully creative, incorporating all manner of people and persuasions.
The Point: Never underestimate the creative power of God’s grace.
Next Steps: What can we do this week to judge less by trusting more in God’s grace?

Visions are realized when God’s people share them. To experience the fullness of God’s blessing, they must all commit themselves to a process of obedience and faithful service. And they must not quit until all God’s people receive what He intends for them.

Who would want to fill the sandals of Moses? Few would be foolish enough to try. Joshua was no fool, but God called him to do the impossible, to lead a people that frequently exasperated his powerful predecessor. What could possibly give him the courage to face this new and nearly impossible challenge?

Some truths change us more than others. The fact Jesus rose from the dead has the potential to radically transform our lives, if we are willing to consider it. The life that Jesus offers can empower us all the way, though our dark times, until we too are raised to join Him in His Father's home.
The Point: Jesus rose from the dead for you, to give you the power need to live now and forever.

In an age that lives out the creed, "Don't Tread on Me", Jesus allowed Himself to suffer humiliation, offering Himself as a sacrifice, so that our relationship with the Father could be restored.
The Point: Jesus endured all of this humiliation so that we might know that we are loved.
Next Steps: Let's bring down the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, and focus on helping to see that God loves them.

Our world has become very proficient at placing people in categories. From an early age, we are trained to count people in or out for all types of reasons. Jesus reminds His disciples, however, that His categories have very little to do with ours. As we seek to do our part in restoring order in a chaotic world, we will have to see people as He sees them.

Sometimes the world’s problems seem so large that we give up on finding a solution. We may feel like we are trying to move mountains with a teaspoon. Jesus reminds us, however, that our efforts matter, no matter how insignificant they might appear to us now.

As we wait for God’s will to be done, we may be tempted to think that the future matters more than the present. Our despair or cynicism can lead us to discount the time we have now. In a parable about waiting, Jesus reminds us that we truly must use each day wisely, because He is still working among us.

Sometimes ordinary times are more dangerous than chaotic ones. When there are no obvious symptoms, we assume that there is no disease. Jesus reminds His disciples, however, that we cannot be lulled into negligence. A world that continues to ignore God will not finish well.

Chaos is a sure sign that God’s plan has been ignored. It does not mean, however, that God is ignoring us. On the contrary, for those who follow Him, chaos builds trust rather than destroying it. Chaos confirms what God has been saying all along, that evil must be overcome for peace to flourish.

Life requires constant negotiation with our desires. What we want is not always good for us, or good for the ones we say we love. Tests quickly become temptations when those desires kick in. How can we keep our desires in check, so that we can become the people we are meant to be?

Money managers constantly tell us that debt is a bad thing. It deprives us of our independence. However, debt can also be an isolating thing. It can drive deep wedges into our closest relationships. How do we cope with these painful obstacles to the human connections that we all desire?

Bread is a powerful symbol of both need and provision. If there is not enough bread, we cannot survive. But how much is “enough”? When have we crossed the line from need to desire? And when do our desires keep others from having what they need?

God’s ways often remain a mystery to us. We don’t always understand what He is doing. How do we work through this difference? How can we come to trust His will, even when we don’t understand it?
The Point: Prayer can inspire us to embrace the wisdom of God’s will.
Next Steps: Where should we be consciously surrendering to God’s will this week?
