“Foolishness and Victory” (Joshua 6)

Here’s the sermon on Joshua 6 that I preached this last Sunday (February 23, 2014). It’s part of a sermon series on the book of Joshua that our church is going through. The story of the battle of Jericho is very familiar to most Christians. My goal in this sermon was to get beyond the typical “Israel was victorious by faith, and you can be, too!” angle. I wanted to put the emphasis on Christ’s work on our behalf…and then draw out how we can experience—by faith—the spiritual victory that He has already secured for us.
