We read Joshua 2 and Proverbs 7, then slow down to notice how Rahab’s faith stands out in Jericho and how a father’s warning exposes the true cost of temptation.

August 4, 2026 - Deuteronomy 32 & Proverbs 3
Today's reading covers Deuteronomy 32 (the Song of Moses) and Proverbs 3. The reflection frames Deuteronomy 32 as a covenant lawsuit, with heaven and earth called as witnesses, God's faithfulness declared as "the Rock," and Israel's coming unfaithfulness indicted. In Proverbs 3, the discussion traces the chapter's eleven "do not" commands, centered on the famous call to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding," showing how genuine trust in God works itself out in practical obedience.For more information about Compass Bible Church South Valley, visit compassbiblesv.org.

We read Deuteronomy 31 and Proverbs 2 then reflect on the transition from Moses to Joshua as Israel prepares to enter the Promised Land, using a football-coach analogy to unpack the final charge to "be strong and courageous." A gospel glimmer emerges in God's foreknowledge of Israel's future unfaithfulness — grace extended before it's earned, echoing Romans 5:8. The discussion then previews Proverbs 2's call to actively pursue wisdom through listening, humility, and the fear of the Lord, setting up next Sunday's guest sermon from a visiting missionary from Albania.For more information about Compass Bible Church South Valley, visit compassbiblesv.org.
