The Story Of Us – Week 6 | Joshua

At the foot of Jericho's walls a worried leader asks whether God is on his side, and the ancient story refuses that easy answer. The tension is painfully modern: anxious planning, the temptation to claim divine approval for our causes, and the quiet fear of facing something bigger than our strategies. Instead of battle plans, Joshua meets a holy presence that won't be domesticated or enlisted for ego-driven victory. The message turns the question inside out. God appears not as a backer of our agendas but as the commander who has come among his people—demanding worship, humility, and listening rather than bargaining. The proper move isn't clever strategy but falling down, removing sandals, and letting God speak. Listeners are invited to trade presumptive certainty for attentive awe and to learn what it looks like to be on God's side in the presence of the One who comes to save.
