Summary
Today we celebrate how God has used our generosity to take back what the Enemy has stolen. Broken lives that were once shattered have been restored. Hope reigns where despair once did. The generous gifts of your time, treasure, and talent have made the difference. Let’s learn a few key lessons from how Joshua celebrated the ground taken in crossing the Jordan River.
I. God’s Commands Aren’t Always Practical (vv. 1-3)
II. Our Obedience Is Always Vital (vv. 4-5, 8)
III. Remembering the Past Is Inspirational (vv. 6-7)
IV. God’s Power Is Irresistible (v. 24)
Talk with God: Meditate on 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 and thank the Lord for His faithfulness to “multiply the seed” of your obedience and generosity (v. 10).
Talk with others: Ask a friend how you can pray for them this week and encourage them to look back at a time when God’s hand in their life was evident.
Talk with kids: Why did the Israelites want a king?
