SUNDAY WORSHIP | FEBRUARY 12 | 9 AM. Have you ever read the 24 chapters of Joshua? If not, I encourage you to read the fast-pace-dramatic reports of God’s powerful presence empowering Israel to acquire the land He promised to their ancestors. Heads up, you will also notice that for Israel to receive her inheritance of land, the Canaanites have to be defeated and die. Why is this? Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. as we consider and respond to these frequently asked questions about God in the Old Testament. Is God unjust? Is God prejudice? Is God cruel? Lead Pastor Dean Wertz brings us a message entitled Land for Israel, But Why Must the Canaanites Die? from Joshua 1:1-9. If you are not able to attend the Service in person, join us via livestream or view the recording here!
