"God will never give you more than you can handle.” Really? The Lord gives His kids too much for them to handle-on their own- all the time. But not so He can bury us but to cause us to trust Him in doing what only He can do! And, as always, to draw us closer to Him. Judges 7:2 And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’

Having met his Jehovah-Shalom, now it’s time for war. Today we will see how In spite of Gideon’s questioning, God still uses Him. Can I do the same?

Who couldn't use a little joy after this past year? Join us this Easter as we celebrate the single most joyous event in history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave!

It all started with a promise--God's promise to birth a nation through a childless couple: Abraham and Sarah Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:1‭-‬3

Today we’ll finish Chapter 3 of Judges and meet Ehud and Shamgar. Also, we’ll launch our Building Capital Campaign!

Have you ever heard of Othniel? Ehud? How about Shamgar?God sometimes uses the least likely characters for His purposes. Judges 3:9 When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

Judges 2:10 When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel. Things sure change fast. Not too long ago we were celebrating the victories of Israel conquering their enemies. Now, they are experiencing defeat at almost every turn. What can we learn from their experiences and about our merciful God?

24:31 Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. Joshua ends on such a high note. But, did Israel follow his warnings? Did they conquer the remaining land and resist the temptation to worship their gods?

The Book of Joshua is not just a biography of his life, it is also a marvelous history of God’s people inheriting the land promised to Abraham! Someone wisely said, “history is His-Story!"It’s wise to learn from Joshua’s life-lessons that will help us serve the Lord.Today we’ll celebrate our Covenant-Keeping God who has a rich inheritance for His children to enjoy right now. Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua finished strong in the race God set for him. There’s much to learn about the character of God as well as how we can finish well in our own journey.

Joshua 23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you. 11 Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God. We are almost finished with our series in the Book of Joshua. In chapter 23 and 24, Joshua gives his parting instructions to God’s people. His words still apply to you and I today. There is much to learn from these last sermons of one of the greatest men in the Old Testament.

This is our annual Vision Sunday gathering, to celebrate what God did in 2020 and to look forward with hope for what’s ahead in 2021! We have a lot to celebrate!

How do the practices of the Israelites give us hope for today? In Joshua 21, we see the other tribes giving the Levites cities to live in from among their own inheritances. Why? What does this kind of giving ultimately point us toward?

Welcome to Living Grace of Las Vegas

Thank you for listening in to our christmas eve service.

Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Caleb vividly illustrates this scripture. He and Joshua were eager to enter the Promised Land some 40 years earlier. They patiently endured the trials of the desert, holding on to the hope of the promises of God. They had a living hope. What an example for us to follow!

Judges 12:7 Here is a list of the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir....8 The lands included the hill country, the western foothills, the Arabah, the mountain slopes, the wilderness and the Negev. These were the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. It’s a good thing to look back at what God has accomplished so that we may move forward in boldness. Let’s look at a key covenant word that we read often in the Bible; “Remembered”. Not that God ever forgets! "Sometimes in the course of human experience it is good to sit down and reflect on what has been conquered by the grace of God.” -Alan Redpath-

What do we do with the uncomfortable portions of Scripture? Joshua 11 confronts believers with a difficult passage about how God works in the hearts of people.

Joshua 10:42 All these kings and their land Joshua took, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. There are "Hall-of-fame" miracles in the first part of chapter 10. Certainly the people of Israel are on a spiritual high. However, there are many battles tone fought. There is much land to conquer. The rest of chapter 10 may not "seem" as epic, but it is Important. Today we'll finish chapter 10 and learn much about how to stay spiritually sharp for the next battle.
