Message

THE PROMISE STILL STANDS
“Grace Behind Enemy Lines”
Joshua 2:1-24 & 6:22-25

Introduction: The “Highlight Reel” of Joshua reminds us that God’s promises still standPlans and People change but the Promise continues.

Then

Establishing A Physical Nation

Worship centered around Sacrifices through the Tabernacle

The Conquest was People and Property 

The Command was Subdue the Land and Make War

The sign of God's promise was twelve Stones and Circumcision

Now

Building A Spiritual Kingdom 

Worship centers around the Savior through the Church 

The Conquest is Souls and Salvation

The Command is Spread the Gospel and Make Disciples

The Sign of God's promise is one Spirit and Communion

God Encounters You (Joshua 2:1-7)
    - God’s Initiative is Sovereign
    - God’s Grace reaches the Unlikely

Your Encounter Demands a Response (Joshua 2:8-11)
     Callous Denial: “There is no God, so I live for Myself”
     Careless Fear: “I’m too far Gone, so I live for Myself”
     Casual Acceptance: “I believe God Exists, but I still live for Myself”
     Complete Surrender: “I belong to God, so I live for Jesus Christ

Your Surrender Leads to Faith in Action (Joshua 2:12-24)
     Repentance: Forsaking your Old and Empty Life
     Obedience: Embracing your New and True Lord

God Secures Your Deliverance (Joshua 6:22-25)

Then

The Picture of salvation was a scarlet Cord and an enduring House

Now

The Picture of salvation is a scarlet Cross and an empty Tomb

Application: It’s not how you Start. It’s how you Finish. God is encountering you Right Now. Will you Surrender?
