Unconditional Surrender – Elder's Choice 2026 – Joshua 9:1–10:15

Sermon by Pastor John DeVriesWhat does true faith look like? The unlikely answer in Joshua 9–10 comes from a people marked for destruction who risk everything to find refuge under the wings of the God of Israel.Pastor John DeVries explores the story of the Gibeonites and the holy fear that led them to seek a covenant relationship with the Lord. Though their actions raise difficult questions, the heart of the passage is their complete surrender and trust in God's mercy. In response, God delivers them with one of the most dramatic demonstrations of his power in all of Scripture, revealing the kind of God he is to those who come to him in faith.—Vineland Road is a resource ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of St. Joseph, Michigan.
