On Mission for Christ

You’ve heard it said before: forgetfulness erodes faith. In everything we do, we are called to choose to remember the Lord.In Joshua 8, Israel seeks the Lord’s guidance on how to defeat Ai. The battle is gruesome, and the lives lost are over 12,000. After defeating Ai, Joshua leads the people in remembering the Lord. Do we go throughout our day remembering God through victory and defeat?In this episode, Pastor Jeremy calls us to choose this day to remember God by devoting our hearts, minds, souls, and strengths to Him. Jesus is coming back soon. Are we sharing the good news?This sermon was originally taught on February 22nd, 2026, by Pastor Jeremy Owens.To learn more about Mission Bible Church, head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionchurchnwi.com⁠⁠⁠

In Joshua 6, Israel has been called to take Jericho. For six days, they must march around the walls of Jericho in silence except for the trumpets. Then on day seven, they must march around the walls seven times, then shout. This commandment was given to them by God as a promise of victory.See, Israel went to battle in a stance of victory.

God is holy, and there is no one like Him. To be holy is to be set apart. God, in His glory, is perfect, spotless, and set apart from sin.In Joshua 5, after the children of Israel cross the Jordan, we see God calling His people to be set apart. He gives us this same calling in 1 Peter 1.

It’s the start of a brand-new year, which means this week, gyms will be full, planners will be opened, and new habits will be started . . . at least for a week or two.

True peace with God and others is only possible because of Jesus, our Messiah, the Prince of Peace. Many Christians know this, but they haven’t fully lived it out.
