“Conquering Jericho: Overcoming Challenges with Faith”

Joshua 6

Main Idea: We can overcome challenges by trusting God’s promise, obeying His commands, and confidently following His lead.

Overcoming Life’s Challenges

1. Communication: Trusting God’s Promise (Joshua 6:1-2)

• God’s Promise: “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands...”
• Psalm 16:7-8
• Matthew 6:33

2. Compliance: Obedience in Action (Joshua 6:6-7, 8, 10, 16)

• God’s plan: March around Jericho once a day for six days, with priests carrying trumpets and the ark of the covenant.
• Joshua’s Obedience: He complied, even when the plan seemed unconventional.
• James 1:22

3. Confidence: Shouting in Faith (Joshua 6:20-21)

• Faith in Action: March around Jericho seven times, then shout in glory to God.
• Result: The walls of Jericho fell, and victory was secured.
• Romans 8:31-39

Reflection Questions:

• “What ‘walls of Jericho’ do you currently face in your life—challenges that seem insurmountable? How can you seek God’s communication and trust His promise to overcome them?”
• “Reflect on a time when God led you to take an unconventional or unexpected step in obedience. What did you learn from that experience, and how did it impact your faith?”
• “Consider the promises God has given you for the future. How can you hold onto those promises and confidently move forward, even when circumstances appear difficult?”
