For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth.

Save Yourself and Others

Sermon text: Joshua 6:27, 7:1-26 Sermon title: Save yourself and others Today’s Big Idea: In God’s covenant community, which is the church, we rise & fall together.

The Character Of The Crisis The crisis affects everyone, it’s caused by a great sin, and it intensifies as God withdraws Himself. 2. The Correction Of The Crisis God himself executes church discipline through his godly-praying leaders and a repentant church, and how lovely when it’s well received by the sinner. 3. Conclusion (what should Achan have done differently?) 1 Timothy 4:16

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
