Progress in the Presence: Rethinking Failure Through the Eyes of God

Failure often feels like the end, but in God’s presence, it can become a place of growth and renewed courage. In this sermon, we revisit God’s charge to Joshua in Joshua 1:9—a call to be strong and courageous, not because of perfect outcomes, but because of God’s unwavering presence. As Joshua stood at a moment of transition, uncertainty, and pressure, God reframed fear and weakness with the promise, “The Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” This message invites us to rethink failure through God’s eyes, recognizing that progress is not measured by flawless performance, but by faithful obedience, resilience, and trust in His presence. Join us as we discover how God walks with us through setbacks and uses them as stepping stones toward purpose and progress.
