Ten Commands – Part 3

Sermon, , , , , ,

The LORD spoke from the mountain these ten commands of His covenant with Israel but they have been taught much longer and wider than there. Jesus expounded them in His gospel of the kingdom (Sermon on the Mount). The apostles taught them and applied them to new Christians regardless of their ethnicity and culture. These are the timeless guidelines for honoring God by honoring His image in humanity.

Ten Commands

Sermon, , , ,

Spoken by God from Mount Sinai, these Ten Commands form the basis of the covenant between God and Israel. And they create a well-known framework for all of us to live by. But do we know these as well as we think we do? This is the first part of our tour through these iconic laws as a part of our ancient landmarks series.

God is Good

Sermon, , , ,

The prophet asked the LORD what He would do about the wickedness in the nation. The LORD’s answer prompted more questions for Habakkuk. But the LORD reassured His prophet that one day, judgment would come for all those who persist in wickedness and that only through living by faith would any escape condemnation. But when hard times come, will we still trust the LORD? Will we still say “God is good” when the blessings are not evident?

Choose the LORD

Sermon, , , ,

Joshua finishes his life by calling the Israelites to continue to live faithfully to the LORD God. There is a fear that Moses communicated to Joshua and now Joshua passes on to this new generation that they will forget how they have been blessed with such a great setup. The LORD has provided for them and He does not want them giving the credit to the gods of the Canaanites. Rather Joshua challenges the people to faithfully serve the LORD alone with love and loyalty. Just as we should as well.

Be Surrendered to God

Sermon, , , ,

There is something admirable in fighting against insurmountable odds unless of course that person is fighting against God Almighty.  So we wonder why people would choose to lose.  But the Canaanites of Gibeon broke ranks with the rest of their Canaanites and decided to surrender to the LORD, God Most High.  They would rather be slaves of the LORD than perish eternally.  And the LORD honors them by adding them to His own protected people.

Be Reminded

Sermon, , ,

The LORD had given very specific instructions for the children of Israel to remind themselves of the covenant with God upon entering the Promised Land of Canaan. Joshua saw the opportunity to obey early and obey fully what the LORD had commanded the Moses, His servant. Rehearse the commands of God now that they were receiving the promises.

Accursed

Sermon, , , ,

The LORD declared that the possessions of Jericho would be banned from the Israelites – accursed like the sin of Canaanites and the valuables would be devoted to God and His tabernacle. But one man and his family chose to violate the ban and would treasure for themselves the accursed things. Thus they brought the curse upon themselves and corruption upon all the rest of the nation. How would God deal with this corruption among His own people? The same as He would among the Canaanites, they would be accursed until repentance and sanctification purified them again.

Rescue from Jericho

Sermon, , , ,

The children of Israel are learning how to experience victory in the LORD. Being in right relationship with Him, following His directions for life and warfare, and keeping Him in His right place as leader and in their midst. And as they do, they discover that the LORD uses them to rescue more of His people from the midst of Canaanite Jericho. By the mercy of the LORD, He rescues Rahab and her family from His judgment.
