In the message today we’ll learn about overcoming the "undercover bosses" that our emotions try to be by confronting sin in a loving manner, and following Jesus' instructions. God's relentless love challenges us to confront our own discomfort to lovingly pursue others.

​

God calls Joshua to lead in the effort of entering the promised land. Through Joshua's life, we see that Leading with courage means letting God take new ground in your heart so you can take new ground in your world. And when God's kingdom takes ground in hearts and in the world, the most unlikely people are embraced, empowered, transformed, and honored.

Today’s message is about how the "heroes of the faith" tell a story not only of faithfulness, but of severe dysfunction. We see the same pattern we see in our lives:
We get controlled by deep fear or desire.
We try to FORCE an outcome to avoid risk.
Lives get destroyed.
Thankfully, their lives and ours are not identified by our mess, but by God making it all new...and changing the world through us.
