When Israel reestablished their covenant of circumcision with the Lord, they returned to God with total abandonment. They didn’t want anything to stand in their way. They had witnessed the weakness of their fathers in the wilderness and now they only wanted God’s plan for themselves and their families. There comes the time when we …
With the crossing of the Jordan, the days of continual hardship and compromise had finally come to a close for this nation of destiny. Yet there were still many challenges to come.

All the years Israel wandered in the wilderness, the cities of Canaan feared the day when this nation would come with God’s mighty power. Israel finally began to trust God, and the man God had anointed. God now had this nation ready to take the land. They would respond to Him and follow Him in …
Israel’s generation of faithless leaders who had brought an evil report back from the new land eventually passed away. Their remaining years were spent clinging to the desert of unbelief, until their bones were buried there forever. But a new generation had arisen who decided they would no longer be denied what God said belonged …

Although Moses didn’t know it, the noise was the sound of people singing and shouting as they danced in worship to a golden calf. …
There are leaders in history who stand head and shoulders above others. These leaders appear almost bigger than life. Some of these are spiritual leaders written about in God’s Word who accomplished impossible feats through their simple faith and relationship with the Lord. Out of all the Old Testament leaders, Joshua in particular, demonstrates the …
God called all of Israel to cease their murmuring and enter into a life of victory. Their response indicated it was too high and too hard a calling. They disagreed with Caleb who said they could possess the land. It is the carnal person who comes out of Egypt but remains in the wilderness, full …
The mighty hand of God had brought Israel from a life of slavery and poverty to independence and wealth; free from the ruthless hand of Pharaoh.
