A message from the series "Sunday Service." Have you ever been overwhelmed by the challenges and changes around you? The Apostle Peter and many in the early church knew that feeling. They were not only flooded by change, but many faced the challenge of deadly persecution. In 1 Peter 1:1-9, Peter reminded them (and us!) of the powerful source of the hope we have in Jesus. It is a living hope based on a past event, looking forward to a future event, and with much to offer even in the present moment.
Today we come to Joshua 5 and 6. In previous chapters Israel came to the banks of the flooded Jordan river and miraculously crossed over on dry ground. In chapter 2 we read about Rahab´s helping the Israelite spies escape Jericho. Now, Israel is about to come against the city of Jericho.
Scripture References: Joshua 6:1-25, Joshua 5:13-15
