November 26, 2023 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Made to Work -

October 15, 2023 00:00 - 1.4 KB

David -

August 13, 2023 00:00 - 1.4 KB

In Joshua 15 verse 63, we learn that Jerusalem had not yet been captured, which is very significant given how important Jerusalem became.  Here Luke speaks about how David achieved this much later (2 Samuel 5:6:7), and how we can learn from David’s faith as we face strongholds today.   (The recording starts a little after Luke began speaking, which may make for a bit of initial confusion – sorry about that! The complete message is available on our YouTube page.)

Caleb -

July 30, 2023 00:00 - 1.4 KB

Dan continues our series in Joshua with a look at Caleb; an example of persevering faith, a refusal to give up believing God and a determination to be involved in what God is doing.
