In this sermon, Pastor Ridley Barron preached about the strength and courage required for the Church of Jesus Christ to fulfill God's plan and purpose. Drawing from the story of Joshua, Ridley highlighted the importance of the congregation's steadfastness in faith and obedience to God's word. He emphasized the necessity of meditating on Scripture and allowing it to transform lives, arguing that God's promises remain unchanging and call for active participation in possessing the spiritual blessings granted through Christ. Encouraging believers to step out in faith despite life's challenges, Ridley urged the church to embrace God's abundant promises and avoid living in spiritual defeat and compromise.
