    "By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days." Last week we watched Israel walk out of Egypt and through the Red Sea on dry ground. Their faith wasn't perfect, and soon they were grumbling and complaining. Today we fast forward 40 years to Moses' successor, Joshua, and a new generation standing at the edge of the Promised Land.

    The first city in their way was Jericho, tightly shut and fortified. God's battle plan had no siege, no sneak attack, and no storming the gates. Instead He said: march around the city once a day for six days, then seven times on the seventh day, blow the trumpets, shout, and the walls will fall (Joshua 6:1–5). Joshua could have worried that his leaders would think he'd lost it. Instead he obeyed the odd command, and the people followed (Joshua 6:6–10). Sometimes faith means doing it God's way even when it doesn't make sense to us.

    Action steps

    • Name your Jericho: what wall is standing between you and what God has promised?
    • Ask God for His strategy, and write down what He tells you, even if it sounds strange.
    • Obey the odd command this week. Take the step God showed you, even if you can't see how it works.
    • Keep marching: don't quit on day six. Stay faithful when nothing seems to be changing yet.
    • Lead by obeying first. Like Joshua, your obedience gives the people around you courage to follow.

    By faith Moses kept the Passover, trusting God when the destroyer of the firstborn was coming (Hebrews 11:28). On this week's episode of Talk About It, Pastor Don walks us through the first nine plagues on Egypt, and how Pharaoh kept summoning Moses, promising to let Israel go, then hardening his heart the moment the pressure lifted. We do the same thing with God when a crisis hits: we promise Him anything to get out of it, then go back on our word once life feels normal again. Pastor Don shows how real faith is trust that obeys, even when the worst is still ahead, and how God keeps doing everything He can to help us live up to our end of the bargain.

This week, Pastor Don continues our journey through Hebrews 11 by examining Moses' faith as he led the Israelites out of Egypt. In the previous episode, we saw how Moses left the palace because he valued God's purpose over the pleasures of sin. Now, in Hebrews 11:27-29, we see how Moses' faith enabled him to persevere through opposition, institute the Passover, and lead the people through the Red Sea.The key theme of this episode is perseverance. It takes faith to stay the course despite the opposition. Moses faced a powerful king, a stubborn people, and impossible circumstances—yet he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. His example teaches us that when our focus is on God, our problems shrink in comparison, and we find the courage to keep moving forward.In This Episode, Pastor Don Explores:1) Moses' Faith Was in the Unseen (Hebrews 11:27)"By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible."This verse primarily applies to Moses when he approached Pharaoh to demand the Israelites be released from bondage. Although it also took courage to leave the palace and not fear Pharaoh's response, the greater test came when Moses stood before the most powerful ruler of his day and declared, "Let my people go."Pharaoh could have had Moses put to death. But Moses' mind was made up—he was going to do what God wanted him to do. His faith in God superseded his fear of man.We need to do what God wants us to do despite the potential fears and fallout. Sharing the gospel can be scary, but our desire to be a witness for Christ needs to supersede our fear. Making sacrifices for the Lord can be scary—when we tithe, we may fear not being able to pay all the bills. There are times when following Jesus may invoke certain fears. That's when we keep our focus on the invisible God more than our visible circumstances.Moses' Relationships and SacrificeMoses had developed relationships within the Egyptian community. He would have had a strong bond with the woman who raised him—Pharaoh's daughter. He likely had a good relationship with his surrogate grandfather, the Pharaoh. When Moses made the decision to leave the palace, he had to have thought about how Pharaoh and others would react.But God's will outweighed his will and the will of those he loved and who loved him. He followed through with his decision because of what God laid on his heart. And his commitment would be seen in his dedication to leading the Israelites from Egypt and through the desert wanderings with all the drama that would ensue during those 40 years.Perseverance Through FocusYes, Moses was in the presence of God on the mountain when he received the Ten Commandments. But God was not a visible presence in his everyday affairs. He relied on his faith to continue to get him through on a daily basis.Perseverance results from keeping our focus on God. When we're focused on God, our problems are quite small in comparison. Moses' faith caused him to follow through with God's command to challenge Pharaoh. Moses' faith allowed him to be more concerned about the wrath of God than the wrath of Pharaoh. Moses feared God, not man.Psalm 56:4 declares, "In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" David's trust was in the immortal God, not mortal man. David was convinced that the power and ability of God was greater than the power and ability of man—so what was there to fear?This was the principle Moses lived by, and we should live by it too. We will persist through our visible situations when we are focused on the invisible God.The Application for UsMoses' example challenges us to examine our own faith:Are we willing to face opposition for doing what God commands?Do we fear God more than we fear people?It takes faith to stay the course despite the opposition. It takes faith to keep our eyes on the invisible God when visible circumstances are overwhelming. It takes faith to trust and obey when the way seems impossible. But when we do, we see God do what only He can do.Key Takeaways:Faith in the unseen God conquers fear of visible oppositionPerseverance comes from keeping our focus on GodWe must fear God more than we fear manSupport the show
