Before we start the book of Judges proper, Pastor Adam takes this week to talk about the difference between Israel and the church.

This week we start the book of Judges which picks up almost immediately after Joshua ends. Pastor Adam gives an overview introduction to the book as well as asking the question "why does the modern church look so much like ancient Israel? Isn't the new covenant supposed to be better?"

We gather every Sunday at 10:30am both online and in-person.

Today is our final study in the Book of Joshua. Last week Joshua gave his final message to the people but now he is taking his final action: reminding them of their history and calling them to repentance. This week Pastor Adam looks at Joshua's words to the people of Israel and shows how they the rest of history shown them to be true: that people cannot serve God on their own. We'll talk about how Jesus gave us the better way and how the Holy Spirit saves people completely.

Over 25 years after the book of Joshua begins, Joshua calls the leaders of Israel together to give one final message to the people as he nears the end of his life. This week we will talk about what Joshua thought were the most important things he could say to the people and how they matter to our lives in 2024.

Last week we didn't have the chance to look at verse 43-45 of Joshua chapter 21. It is the summary of the people of Israel taking possession of the promised land. Yet, it is not exactly true. So how do we deal with that? What can we learn and does it matter to our lives today?

In Joshua 22 there is family drama among the children of Israel that almost leads to a Civil War. What caused it and what can we learn from it so we can avoid the same relational issues in our homes and communities?
