Joshua Chapter 6 Possessing the Inheritance
By A.B. Simpson0JOS 13:1JOS 18:3ISA 43:19MAT 9:37PHP 3:14A.B. Simpson emphasizes the importance of not only conquering but also possessing the spiritual inheritance that God has promised to His people. He draws parallels between the Israelites' delay in claiming their land and the modern Christian's hesitance to fully embrace the fullness of the Gospel and the call to service. Simpson urges believers to actively appropriate their inheritance, engage in spiritual growth, and take on the responsibilities of Christian work, warning against slackness, indifference, and complacency. He challenges the congregation to recognize the urgency of claiming their spiritual territory and to act promptly in obedience to God's call. The sermon serves as a reminder that there remains much land to be possessed in both personal faith and collective Christian service.
Luke 12:35
By Chuck Smith0MAT 24:42LUK 12:35ROM 12:11CO 9:24PHP 3:14COL 3:22TI 2:3HEB 12:1JAS 4:141PE 1:13Chuck Smith emphasizes the significance of our concepts of life, exploring various perspectives such as life as a journey, race, warfare, game, or joke. He highlights that each concept leads to a different end goal, urging listeners to consider what their own concept of life is. Smith points out that Jesus provides a true concept of life, framing it as 'men waiting for their Lord,' which introduces new boundaries and an ultimate goal that transcends our immediate sight. This understanding fosters greater urgency, diligence, and purity in our lives as we await Christ's return.
