“Prayer For A Worthy Walk”

Sometimes the Bible convicts the preacher just as much as it does the congregation. The text for this sermon was one of those instances. Colossians 1:9-14 challenged me in why, how, and how constantly I pray. A good reminder that we need the Spirit’s powerful working to grow in Christ…more than just about anything else.

“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.
