Swords or Circumcision? Joshua 5:1-9
from The Carpenter's Union Hosted by Brett Snyder
The Israelites have crossed the Jordan River. And now they need to keep their motivation rolling. But, their next steps are not to do battle, rather, they need to go through the ritual of circumcision. A ritual that symbolizes the cutting away of the sinful flesh. The symbolism behind this ritual has very deep meanings for believers in Jesus Christ who are trying to take those initial steps to live in the spirit filled life. Some questions to consider: 1) Has God ever changed his plans for you in an unexpected way? 2) Can you describe a time where God Circumcised your heart and you were changed by the Holy Spirit? 3) Describe how evidence of a circumcised heart is seen through a person's worship. 4) Have you ever noticed acts of the flesh being exhibited by a friend or loved one? And how did you deal with it?
