Today we see how the Israelites had a misunderstanding when the 2 1/2 tribes returned to their land east of the Jordan.  We also see how they used biblical principles to seek truth and reconcile with each other.  Come listen and let God’s word speak to you in dealing with relationships  with those around you.

Joshua 21: 1-3,43-45. The gist of today’s sermon is that God provides for His followers. How do we know this? One easy way is to look at the verses that provide the foundation for today’s message. You will see three (3) basic points being made today:

• God takes care of those who serve Him.
• All of us are called to serve Him.
• We must have patience for God’s timing!

Joshua 20,21. We are often fond of making bold statements about the depth of our faith, much like Peter stating that he would never deny Jesus. Often we fail to live up to our own statements, usually displaying a faith lacking in certainty. Fortunately, God gives us second chances and places of refuge. In Joshua’s day there were cities of refuge. These cities were safe havens for people who were in danger as a result of an accidental death. These cities were necessary at a time of the rule of the law of retribution.

While there must be justice in this world, there must also be mercy. These cities were (and are) a symbol of the mercy of God. God always gives second chances, and we are instructed to do the same! Do not judge but rather give mercy to others.

Romans 8:10-17. Are you adopted? This questions doesn’t mean a worldly sense of adoption. Instead this question is asking if you are adopted by Jesus Christ. Like a child is lovingly adopted by a parent and becomes “theirs”, we are adopted by Jesus when we accept Him as our savior. By having Jesus as our adopted Father we can feel loved and encouraged to do things we would otherwise be afraid to do. Things like pushing back against the fear of the unknown, pushing back against the fear of loss and failure, and pushing back against the fear of being rejected by others. With so many benefits (and this is a VERY short list), who wouldn’t want to be adopted?

John 19:25-27. Happy Mother’s Day! Today we celebrate not just Mom but all of the women who made a positive impact on our lives. We also remember that Jesus had a mother named Mary, and that He modeled how we are to love our own mothers. Scripture points out 4 ways we are to love our mothers:

• We are to love our mothers verbally. Tell her you love her! While you are at it, tell your wife and children as well.
• She needs to be loved physically too. Give her a kiss on the cheek or a hug!
• Love her patiently. Ignore the actions that might otherwise bother you. They are trivial in comparison for all she has done for you.
• We need to honor her and recognize her many sacrifices for you.

Enormous changes have occurred outside our church as well as inside, yet through it all God has never let us down as we seek to serve in His name!

Joshua 10:16-12:24. A continuation of the study of the book of Joshua. Today we cover the campaign of the Israelites against the Five (5) Kings. This particular campaign ends with the killing of the 5 Kings after being taken from the cave in which they were hiding. But does our spiritual battle ever cease? Can we ever let our guard down against Satan and his minions? The simple answer is “no” because we are in constant spiritual battle against the devil himself. Four main points of today’s sermon are listed below.

• The Christian life is about conflict.
• In our spiritual battle we must remember that Christ Jesus is the Victor!
• We have a spiritual home.
• Complete the conquest!
