Joshua: People of God's Purpose

January 4, 2026 - January 18, 2026

Joshua: A People of God’s Purpose traces how the Lord forms, leads, and establishes His covenant people as they step into the promises He has made. The book of Joshua reveals God’s faithfulness through themes of covenant, obedience, rest, inheritance, and spiritual warfare, showing Israel learning to trust the living God who goes before them. These same themes find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the greater Joshua, who brings true redemption and calls His people to Spirit-empowered faithfulness. This series invites the Church today to see how God’s work in Joshua continues to shape a people who listen to His voice, walk in His promises, and live for His glory.
