The God Who Fights for Us

Kyle Kauffman

Where does your life feel like a battle currently? Where do you feel like you are engaged in a fight that you can’t seem to win and that you don’t control the outcome of? There are all sorts of battles we may fight in this life. Those battles are evidence of the fact that as God’s people we are in a war with spiritual forces. The war we are called to fight looks much different than the one Joshua and the Israelites were called to fight, but the way we are called to fight looks similar in many ways. We do not fight in our own strength or power but in relying on the God who fights for us. Joshua 6 reminds us that in any and every battle victory ultimately belongs to the LORD and God can do what is impossible for us to do. During the battles we face God calls us to trust and obey Him as we patiently wait to see what He will do.

Joshua 5:13-6:27

Don't Forget to Remember

Kyle Kauffman

It can be easy to forget things. And sometimes we forget the most important things. Things like birthdays and anniversaries can easily slip our minds or we forget where we put things like keys, wallets, or phones. The Bible shows us that one of the biggest things we forget is who we are in relation to God and what God has done for us. It’s instructive that the first things God has Israel do when they enter the promised land is not to immediately rush into battle, but to first of all do two things that remind them of who they are in relation to God – reminding them that they are God’s people, and they are God’s people who He has redeemed. Today God wants us to be continually reminded of these things as well. It’s easy for us to rush into doing things for God or become consumed with all we have to do with this life, and we can quickly forget what matters most. This is why God over and over again reminds us as well – “Don’t forget to Remember who you are and what I’ve done for you.”

Joshua 5:1-12

The Wonder-Working God

Kyle Kauffman

Do you long to see God working in powerful ways in your life and in our world today? The answer to that question is probably obvious. “Of course I do!” In Joshua 3-4 we see God miraculously stopping the Jordan River so that his people can cross on dry ground. It’s easy for us to read accounts like this and either dismiss them as an occurrence of the past (“That’s how God used to work”) or to immediately jump to some way we long to see God do this in our day and our lives (“Why doesn’t He show His power more clearly in my life?”). But these accounts are in the Bible are there first and foremost teach us about God. As we come to understand more about why God did these wonders in the first place, we come to see what impact they are meant to have on our lives today. We also get a glimpse into how God is continuing to work wonders in our lives today even if that doesn’t look quite like what it looked like for the Israelites. And we see how God wants us to respond to the wonders He does – both in scripture and in our lives today.

The God Who Saves

Kyle Kauffman

How often do you consider the fact that God has saved you? Does it still amaze you when you consider the fact that God has saved you? In Joshua 2 we encounter the incredible story of Rahab hiding the Israelite spies to spare their lives and then asking for them to spare her life when God gives them the city of Jericho. It’s a story that displays God’s power to save and His plan to save people from all nations. We see God saving the Israelite spies from the threat of the king of Jericho even as he simultaneously saves Rahab from the threat of his impending judgment on Jericho. In this story we get a glimpse into who God saves, why God saves, how God saves. This story invites us to marvel over God’s salvation even as it also invites us to be a continued part of His plan to save others.

Be Strong and Courageous

Kyle Kauffman

Joshua begins with the greatest change that the young nation of Israel has experienced so far. Their trusted and faithful leader who God used to bring them out of slavery and guide them through the wilderness is dead just as they are about to begin their greatest challenge so far: taking possession of the land God has promised to give them. A new leader whom God has chosen steps into the giant shoes Moses has left behind. Can he continue the legacy of Moses? Will he be successful in leading this people into the promised land? Or will this nation fall apart before it even has a chance to be established? As everything seems to be changing for Joshua and Israel, they are invited to place their confidence not in their leader or in themselves, but in God. Although Moses is dead, the same God who was with Moses and the people, who led them through the wilderness, who provided for their every need, and who promised to bring them into this land, is the God who is still with them in this moment. And He is the same God who is with us today amid all the changing circumstances of our lives. He invites us to place our confidence in Him and to find strength and courage for whatever we are facing today.

Praising God in Every Season

Kyle Kauffman

There are many different seasons in our lives here on this earth. Some are full of joy; others are full of sorrow. Some are marked by peace; others are marked by turbulence. Some of abounding in good; others seem to lack good. Part of what the Psalms teach us is that there are good reasons to praise God in the midst of every season we may go through in this life. We see this especially in Psalm 103 which is full of reasons for us to praise God no matter what may be happening in our lives. As we remember who God is and all He has done, we discover that our reasons for praising Him don’t disappear when our circumstances change.

Psalm 103

When Life is Weighed with Guilt

Kyle Kauffman

You likely know the feeling. We say something, do something, or think something that is sinful. You weight it and know it wasn’t loving to God or to other people. A guilt pierces your conscience and immediately you wish you could take it back. What do you do in that moment? Seek to quickly move on and act like it’s no big deal? Wallow in the guilt and shame of what an awful person you are? God invites us down a much better path when we sin and need forgiveness. We neither have to avoid our sin or dwell in our sin. We can take it to God, confess it to God, and freely receive the forgives Jesus has secured for us. This leads us not to despair and distance in our sin, but to renewed joy and communion with God which gives us strength to continue to live for Him.

Psalm 32, 51

When Life Feels Out of Control

Josh Stalnaker

Life is, ultimately, out of our control. So, how do we react to this reality? Do we panic and anxiously wait for the next bad thing to happen? Do we react with cynicism towards the world and its troubles? Or do we rest in the power of God as outlined in Psalm 46? The 46th Psalm is a reminder that God is present in the troubles of life and the world. It reminds us that He is our refuge and He is our strength. This Psalm also reveals that God’s power is so great that neither natural disaster nor war should cause us fear. As we look to this Psalm, let us live its truth out, that we may be bold in knowing “The Lord of hosts is with us!”

Psalm 46

When Life Feels Dark

Kyle Kauffman

There are times in life when darkness seems to settle over our hearts and minds like a thundercloud over a playground. Where there used to be laughter, joy, and life, there now only seems to be silence, sadness, and loneliness. This darkness may come because of some specific situation we are facing. It may come because of some spiritual reality. Or it may come because of some physical and biological reality. Often, there’s probably intermixed pieces of all three. The darkness may come in waves, breaking at times, or it may come as a massive flood that doesn’t seem to let up. It may last of r just a short time or it may be a season that lingers on without an end in sight. What do we do when life feels dark and hopeless? How can we respond when the weight of life seems too great to bear? How do we turn to God in the moments when God can so easily feel distant or even absent? Psalm 77 gives us a faithful companion to help us walk through the darkness in relationship to God as we continue to seek Him and trust in in the midst of the darkness.

Psalm 77
