Joshua JerichoAutumn Sermon Series:
The Book of Joshua

In the 14th Cent BC, the People of God were up against huge opposition as they stood at the door of the Promised Land. But under Joshua’s leadership they obeyed God’s call to put their trust in His mighty power, and, despite their weakness, advance against Canaan’s powerful armies.

They soon discovered they did not need human strength – or weapons – to build God’s Kingdom.

Their story is a metaphor for the battles we as Christians face today against much opposition.
From these records we can learn important principles to help us be instruments for God to rebuild his Kingdom in 21st Century Sheffield, at home, at work, in the community, in our lives. For details see below.
