Going All The Way With God

Preached 2-15-26 PM | Joshua 5:7, 13–15In Book of Joshua 5, Israel stands on the edge of promise. The wilderness is behind them. The walls of Jericho are ahead. Before the victory comes surrender. Before the battle comes consecration.In verse 7, the new generation is circumcised—a picture of separation and obedience. God reminds His people that if they are going to possess the land, they must first be set apart. Going all the way with God requires more than proximity to the promise—it requires purity of heart.Then in verses 13–15, Joshua encounters the Captain of the Lord’s host. He asks, “Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” The answer shifts the focus: it is not whether God is on our side—but whether we are on His. Joshua falls on his face in worship, and the ground becomes holy.
