No Wall Too Tall: To Obey or Not to Obey

No Wall Too Tall: To Obey or Not to Obey

Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our No Wall Too Tall sermon series through Joshua. This week in Joshua 15-17, God's people must trust him and in turn, commit not just to partially obeying God, but to total obedience. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.

Sunday 9:30 AM

1. Caleb's obedience was contagious (Joshua 15:13‑19).

• Contagious obedience recognizes that God is bigger than Giants.
• Discipleship, the transmission path for the contagion, involves sharing both the challenges and the rewards.

Action: Invite someone to share in both your challenges and victories.
2. Judah, Ephraim, and Manasseh's partial obedience caused problems for generations.

• Incomplete obedience allowed sin to fester for generations (15:63).
• Incomplete Obedience led to compromise in Joseph's line (16:10, 17:12‑13).
• Incomplete obedience led to discontentment (17:14‑18).

Action: Ask yourself, where have I only partially obeyed and how can I fully obey?
3. Eleazer and Joshua's counter‑cultural obedience set a precedent (Joshua 17:3‑6).

• Obedience may run contrary to prevailing culture.
• Obedience in the present can make a positive difference in the future.
• You may need to boldly ask others to be obedient.

Action: Evaluate your personal obedience and ask, where do I need to be counter‑cultural?
