Second Stage Ministries Podcast

In this episode, we are going to look at some final things from the book of Joshua. We will be looking at Joshua’s final speech in Joshua 23 and we will see what God has for us.

Nothing like getting a reward after a lot of hard work… it is also really good to get a chance to rest after a lot of hard work. Let’s see how the Israelites finally get that chance.

In this episode, we are going to see 3 things. How God does something for Joshua that has never been done again. How God fights for us and with us. And finally how God is what we can’t be and how God can do what we can’t do!

God doesn’t only tell us how to do battle… He goes to battle with us! Over the last few weeks as we have been in this Strong series, we have seen how God has gone to battle with the Israelite people and that other nations have taken note that God is fighting with Israel. But God also tells us how to do battle. We have a battle guide called the Bible and when we get into the Bible we can find all sorts of help for any battles we might face.

As we continue on through the book of Joshua, we are going to come to a familiar topic. We are going to see God give some clear instructions and a choice that is made by a man named Achan that his choice hurt more than just him. Choices are sacred. Choices have consequences - both good and bad. Let’s look at the story together.

You never know what is around the corner. The next step you take could be a step that leads you to completing a goal or accomplishing a dream! In today’s episode, we will take a deeper look into how the steps we take matter, as we look at the story of Jericho.

Do you have a whisper spot? If you have no idea what a whisper spot is… that’s ok! In this episode, we are going to see how Joshua hears from God and how we can as well. We just need to find a whisper spot.

We all have steps to take. The steps we take either take us toward our dreams and goals or away from our dreams and goals - or promised lands if you will. Also the steps we take either take us toward or away from God. In this episode, we are going to look at steps that the Israelites took in order to reach their goal - or Promised Land. We are also going to look back at the steps other people have taken throughout the overall story we have been looking at in the series “Journey to the Promised Land”.

God gives us reminders of how He helps us and His goodness to us. They are everywhere if we just look for them. In this episode, we are going to see the reminders that God gave Israel so they could remember how God came through for them and helped them.

In this episode, we are going to see how with God on our side we can be FEARLESS because God fights for us!

We are starting our STRONG series in the book of Joshua! We are in the homestretch of the “Journey to the Promised Land” series. In this episode, we are going to see 2 things that God wants Joshua, the people of Israel, and us to BE.

In this episode, we are going to be taking a 30,000ft view of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. But we are also going to take some dives into the books to see some key moments in the story we have been following in the “Journey to the Promised Land” series. We are also going see how having “continued faith” can help us and how a lapse in faith can cost us as it did Moses.

In this episode, we are going to be at something God showed me while I was on vacation in Myrtle Beach. I hope that what God showed me encourages you like it be me.

In this episode, we are going to be taking a flyover look at the rest of the book of Exodus while zooming in on a few scenes in those chapters. We are going to see how God provides for us, how God instructs us, and how we need people to help up in our life - because God doesn’t want us to do life alone.

It is time to do some celebrating! There are times along our journey when we can see how God has brought us to where we are and how He has helped us get there!

As we continue on in our series in Exodus, we are at the Red Sea and Israel starts to have doubts that God is really going to help them escape the pursuing Egyptians. But we are going to see how…. 1) God keeps His promises, 2) God is with you, 3) God is a miracle worker, 4) God is a way maker, and 5) God is fighting for you! (Remember the Journey to the Promised Land theme so far… God always keeps His promises but we must remain faithful to God even when the future isn’t clear because faithfulness to God plans (dreams) will be rewarded so have continued faithfulness!)

In this episode, we are going to be looking at the 10 plagues of Egypt and what God wants us to learn from them and how God keeps His word… so we can have continued faith in Him. We will also take a brief moment and look at the final plague as the instructions for the Passover event show up in another event later in Israel’s journey to the Promised Land.

In this episode, we are going to look at how making excuses can delay our progress toward our Promised Land. Even though we know that God will be with us we still make a thousand excuses as to why we can’t do what God has asked us to do. Moses had excuses, but God has a promise.

Have you ever felt like you have made a mistake and God can’t use you because of it? Well, in this episode, we are going to see how God thinks differently about you because if you aren’t dead, God is not done with you! Also, we are going to see how God hears us - so have continued faith! Link for the episode referenced in the episode—> https://anchor.fm/focuspointpodcast/episodes/YHWH---S4-E21-e1j5qo3

In this episode, we are going to see extreme faith and trust in God. We are also going to see how faith and trust in God is rewarded. This is our combined theme for the last few series: God always keeps his promises, but we must remain faithful to him even when the future isn’t clear, because faith in God’s plans will be rewarded, so have continued faith!
