Tested Faith, Proven God

Apr 6, 2025    Pastor Matthew Johnson

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our trust in God through the lens of financial giving. The core of this teaching revolves around the biblical story of the Israelites facing Jericho in the book of Joshua. This narrative serves as a profound metaphor for our own faith journey. Just as God led the Israelites to an seemingly impossible situation, He often calls us to steps of faith that appear daunting. The key lesson here is that God intentionally creates opportunities for us to trust Him, allowing Him to demonstrate His faithfulness. We're reminded that saying 'yes' to God, even when it doesn't make logical sense, opens the door for miraculous interventions in our lives. This message encourages us to reflect on our own 'Jericho moments' - those times when God is asking us to take a leap of faith, particularly in our giving. It challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones, trusting that God's provision is greater than our perceived limitations.
