In this final message of our series on courage, Pastor Rick Atchley of The Hills Church in Fort Worth, Texas, shares a message from the book of Joshua titled “The Courage to Continue.” Even after experiencing great victories, Israel still had work to do, and Joshua challenged God’s people not to settle for what they had already accomplished. Through their story, we’re reminded to remember God’s faithfulness, resist complacency, and keep moving forward in faith. Discover how God’s past work in your life can give you courage to keep growing, serving, and following Him.

This week, we explore one of the boldest prayers recorded in Scripture as Joshua asks God to do what seemed impossible: make the sun stand still. His prayer reveals a faith that was willing to ask God for something extraordinary.Courageous faith doesn’t mean assuming God will give us everything we ask for; it means trusting His character, His promises, and His will enough to ask boldly and leave the answer in His hands. Joshua reminds us that we serve a God who is not limited by our circumstances, and that should change the way we pray. Are fear and doubt keeping you from bringing your biggest requests before God?

In this week’s program, we continue our journey through Joshua as we look at the fall of Jericho and what it teaches us about courage, faith, and obedience. Faced with a fortified city that seemed impossible to overcome, Joshua and the Israelites were called to trust God’s promise and follow His instructions, even when they could not see how the outcome would unfold.The story of Jericho reminds us that faith is more than simply believing the right things, it means moving forward in obedience to what God has called us to do. Fear can make the obstacles before us seem bigger than God, but courage begins when we trust that God is already at work and take the next step of faith. And ultimately, the victory at Jericho was not about walls falling, but about people being rescued. As followers of Christ, we are called to move beyond the walls that intimidate us and courageously go where God leads, because there are people who need to hear the hope of Jesus.

In this week’s program, we continue our journey through Joshua by looking at the life of Caleb and what it means to follow God wholeheartedly. Caleb faced the same giants, fortified cities, and obstacles as everyone else, but instead of allowing fear to determine his response, he trusted in the faithfulness of God.Through Caleb’s example, we are reminded that biblical courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to trust God in the midst of it. His story challenges us to see beyond the obstacles in front of us, embrace the opportunities God gives us, and live with an eternal purpose. Rather than simply standing at the foot of the mountain, Caleb was willing to climb it, and his example encourages us to do the same.

In this week’s program, we continue our journey through Joshua as we consider the connection between remembering God’s faithfulness and living with courage. After Israel crossed the Jordan River, God instructed them to take twelve stones from the riverbed and set them up as a memorial, a visible reminder of what He had done.Those stones were meant to tell the story of God’s faithfulness to future generations. In the same way, remembering the ways God has provided, answered prayer, guided us, and carried us through difficult moments can strengthen our faith when fear begins to take hold. As we remember what God has done, we are reminded that our lives are ultimately centered on Him, and that our experiences of His faithfulness are not only for us, but can encourage those who come after us.

In this week’s program, we continue our journey through Joshua by looking at Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River and the courage it took to move forward in faith.The Jordan was at flood stage, and God did not remove the obstacle before asking His people to step forward. The priests had to put their feet in the water before the river stopped flowing. Their story reminds us that faith is more than believing God can make a way, it means trusting Him enough to take the next step, even when we cannot yet see what He is going to do. When fear tells us to stay on the shore, will we trust God, follow His leading, and move forward in obedience?

In this week’s program, we continue our journey through the book of Joshua by looking at Rahab and what it means to have the courage to act on what we know to be true about God.Rahab had heard what God had done, and what she knew about Him gave her the courage to risk everything and place her trust in the God of Israel. Her story reminds us that faith does not require knowing how everything will unfold. We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we can know who God is and what He has done through Jesus Christ. The question is, will we have the courage to live out that truth and share it with others? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

In this week’s program, we begin a new journey through the book of Joshua, exploring what it means to move forward in faith when fear tells us to stay where we are.As Joshua prepares Israel to enter the Promised Land, God repeatedly calls His people to be strong and courageous. We’ll discover that biblical courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to trust God’s promises, even when the obstacles are real and the path ahead is difficult. We’ll also see how courage is shaped by God’s Word and strengthened through unity, challenging us to consider whether we are living by caution or by faith in what God has called us to do.

In this week’s program, we conclude our journey through Leviticus with a message titled “The Scapegoat,” exploring the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus 16 and God’s provision for dealing with the sin that separated His people from Him.We’ll look at the significance of the two goats, one sacrificed for the people’s sin and the other sent away carrying their guilt. We’ll also see how this powerful picture points forward to Jesus, who became the sacrifice for our sin and bore our guilt, shame, and burdens on the cross. Through the prophet Isaiah and the story of Jesus, we discover how God’s plan was always leading toward reconciliation and new life.

In this episode, we explore Leviticus 23 and the appointed festivals God gave Israel as intentional reminders of His faithfulness, provision, and presence. Through the Sabbath, Passover, Firstfruits, Pentecost, and especially the Feast of Tabernacles, we see how these celebrations pointed forward to Jesus and His work of salvation.The message challenges us to slow down, remember what God has done, and cultivate gratitude rather than allowing the busyness of life to make us forget His faithfulness. Just as Israel used physical reminders to remember God’s rescue, we are encouraged to create intentional times of remembrance in our own lives. Ultimately, remembering God’s faithfulness strengthens our trust in Him as we walk out our faith. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

In this week's program, we continue our riveting journey through Leviticus with a message titled "Holiness," exploring what it means for God's people to be holy because He is holy. We’ll look at the biblical meaning of holiness as being both whole and set apart for God, and how Israel’s daily lives were shaped by God's call to remain clean and devoted to Him. But as religious traditions multiplied, the original purpose could become lost in rituals and regulations. Through the teachings of Jesus, we see that true holiness is not simply about outward actions, it begins in the heart and is expressed through a genuine relationship with God. Join us as we discover what holiness looks like for us today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

In this week's program, we begin a brand-new four-part series through the book of Leviticus with a message titled "Reunited." While many think of Leviticus as a book of rules and rituals, it is ultimately the story of a God who continually calls His people back into relationship with Himself.As we explore the tabernacle and the sacrificial system, we'll discover how God's provision for Israel pointed forward to Jesus Christ, who made the perfect and permanent way for us to draw near to Him. Join us as we uncover the timeless message of God's holiness, His grace, and His desire to dwell with His people.
