Breath Again: CAN THESE BONES LIVE Purpose in the Heart

Week 3: Joshua From Failure to Restoration Victory Followed by Worship: Altar on Mount Ebal

Victory Followed by Worship: Altar on Mount Ebal Don’t let success become your snare, turn victory into worship and recommitment. After Ai, Joshua built an altar, wrote the law on stones, and read blessings and cursings aloud (Joshua 8:30–35 KJV). Celebration without Scripture breeds pride; worship after triumph re‑anchors identity in God’s Word. Use your next win as a teachable moment: read Scripture aloud, thank God publicly, and set fresh covenantal guardrails. Make victory a platform for obedience, not self‑congratulation. #VictoryAndWorship #AltarOnEbal #Joshua8 #CovenantRenewal #ReadTheLaw #CelebrateAndRecommit #HouseholdWorship #GuardAgainstPride #ScriptureFirst #FaithfulVictory #PastorGregmott

Week 3: Joshua From Failure to Restoration Strategy Under God’s Command: The Ambush at Ai

Strategy Under God’s Command: The Ambush at Ai Obedience without strategy stalls; strategy without God misfires. Joshua 8:1–9 shows the victory that comes when God’s plan and human diligence meet. After cleansing the camp, Israel followed God’s tactical ambush and took Ai. Plan wisely, gather counsel, study Scripture, and map out the steps, but only after sanctifying motives and seeking God’s direction. Think like a gardener who prunes, studies seasons, then plants; or a captain who charts, trims sails, and prays. What strategic step do you need for restoration, and will you seek God’s lead first? #StrategyUnderGod #Joshua8 #PlanAndPray #ObedienceAndWisdom #Proverbs169 #FaithfulStrategy #SanctifyYourPlans #LeadWithPrayer #RestoreAndRebuild #GodDirectedSteps #PastorGregmott

Week 3: Joshua From Failure to Restoration The Necessity of Purging the Spoil

The Necessity of Purging the Spoil Sometimes healing requires a painful cutting to remove the infected part to save the whole. Joshua 7:13–26 shows that purging Achan and the accursed spoil was the only way to turn God’s anger away. Spiritual surgery is costly but life‑saving: confess, remove the spoil, repair systems, and restore trust. Like a surgeon excising gangrene or a contractor replacing rotten beams, the hard work preserves the whole. Ask God to reveal the “infected tissue” in your life or church, then take one decisive step toward removal and repair this week. #PurgeTheSpoil #Joshua7 #SpiritualSurgery #ConfessAndRepair #LittleLeaven #CommunityHealth #RestoreIntegrity #FaithAndDiscipline #CovenantHoliness #TakeActionNow #PastorGregmott
