Church notes (8th March 2015)

Psalm 96

Joshua 14:6 - 15
No matter how famous a person becomes, eventually they will be forgottten. (c.f. Kanye West fans not knowing who Paul McCartney is)

Enduring Faith
Even after 45 years, Caleb's faith was as strong as ever.
Courageous Devotion
Caleb was Courageously Devoted to God.
It can be lonely
It is a difficult, dangerous faith. The World is against it.
Enduring Faith
- Complete Dependence
Caleb's faith was not based on his own strength.
Feelings should not dictate our faith. They will waver.
God's Word should dictate our faith. They will not waver.
Continuing Determination.
Most of Israel failed to drive out the Canaanites, due to not having the faith they needed.
Sin - is like head lice. It spreads. If one part remains, it spreads again.,

Caleb doesn't let age get in the way of God's promise.
He had God's favour.
We has His favour too, due to the Cross.
Do we have enduring faith? Or do we let sin entangle us?

Hebrews 12:1, 2
