Sam speaks from 1 Peter 4 verses 7 - 11 showing us:

• Serve in love - Jesus is the ultimate example
• Serve in joy - It's fun and a privilege to serve and be part of a ministry
• Serve using our gifts -We all have been given gifts from God's grace and are carries of His power.
• Serve others - we can all love and serve others. It's for everyone - age is not a barrier.
• Serve in God's strength - it all flows from plugging into Jesus and knowing His heart.
• Serve as an act of praise - it is an act of worship, no matter what it is, especially when no one sees you serving.

Joey concludes our series in Joshua looking at chapter 10 verses 1 - 15.

As Christians we are in the greatest battle.

Joey asks some challenging questions:

• What is our response? – Faith, endurance, integrity, proactivity.
• Who have we partnered with?
• What do we need to do?
• Are we believing a lie?

God’s promises stand firm.

Sam continues our journey through the book of Joshua, drawing from chapter 9 to remind us of a truth we all know too well: failure is real, and none of us are exempt from it. The pivotal moment in the passage comes when the people “did not inquire of the Lord.” They moved ahead without pausing, praying, or seeking God’s wisdom. It’s a pattern we can easily fall into—leaning on our own understanding, assuming we know best, and neglecting the guidance found in God’s Word. Self‑reliance can be a subtle but dangerous path.

We are also reminded that we have an enemy who deceives, disguises, and distorts. Because of this, we must guard our unity carefully. Disagreement must never be allowed to take root in harmful ways; instead, we are called to challenge one another with love, grace, honour, and truth.

Yet even in the midst of human failure and spiritual opposition, God’s purposes prevail. The story ultimately points us to Jesus—the One who never failed, never sinned, and came to deal fully and finally with our failure. In Him, we find both our rescue and our hope.
