Joshua Episode 5 - The Deception of Gibeon - Ch 9

Re-Dedicate Yourself to Prayer

Have you felt yourself disconnected from God lately? Have you stopped reading your bible everyday? How is your prayer life? It frequently happens that we get distracted, discouraged, or apathetic in our efforts to engage with God and his word. It is time to rededicate yourself. Let's start with the area of prayer.

God's Drawing Grace

The sermon explores the doctrine of irresistible grace as a component of the TULIP framework, emphasizing that salvation is entirely God's work rather than human effort. It defines grace as unmerited favor and explains that spiritually dead sinners cannot choose God without His prior intervention. The preacher explains that God actively draws the elect to Christ through a powerful, effectual call that overcomes human resistance. Citing Scripture such as John 6 and Romans 8, the text asserts that those chosen by the Father will inevitably come to faith and be saved. Ultimately, the message assures believers that their salvation is secure because God's purpose cannot be thwarted by human will.

Trusting God in Adversity

This sermon explores the mature Christian response to adversity by examining Psalm 89, where the psalmist maintains trust in God despite apparent broken promises. The speaker emphasizes that believers should focus on God's unchanging character and capability rather than their temporary circumstances, choosing to sing praises and declare faithfulness even when distress seems overwhelming. By analyzing the covenant with David, the text illustrates how these ancient promises find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who secures an eternal throne. The message encourages listeners to reject despair and pouting, instead anchoring their hope in God's reliability and the assurance of His redemptive plan. Ultimately, trusting in adversity requires a perspective that looks beyond immediate suffering to the grand scope of God's faithfulness across generations.

A Strong Woman- T.I.D.E. Proverbs 31

The sermon explores the biblical definition of a virtuous woman by analyzing Genesis 2 and Proverbs 31, emphasizing that true value stems from the fear of the Lord rather than worldly standards of beauty or popularity. It outlines four key character traits—trustworthiness, industriousness, deliberateness, and encouragement—as essential components for building a strong, unified marriage. The preacher argues that these qualities create a lasting foundation where spouses support each other through trials, contrasting this substance with the fleeting nature of external favor. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to pursue godly character in their daily lives, recognizing that faithful, steady service to God yields eternal reward and family blessing.
