The Promise of God

The sermon focused on Joshua 1:5 where God promises Joshua that just as He was with Moses, He will be with Joshua. The preacher emphasized that God makes promises based on His past performance - He didn't fail, forget, or forsake Moses, and He won't do so with us either. The message explored four aspects of God's promises: His protection (like protecting baby Moses in the basket), His provision (meeting needs for 40 years in the wilderness), His power (performing miracles like parting the Red Sea), and His presence. The preacher stressed that God is unchanging and that salvation is the greatest miracle of all.

In this message:

God will keep every promise he has made based on his past performance.God helps those who cannot help themselves, especially in salvation.Where God calls us, he will protect us and equip us for the task.God meets our needs, not necessarily our wants, through his faithful provision.A miracle is simply God did it - if we can explain or reproduce it, it's not a miracle.
