Operation Amazing


Text: Joshua 3: 5 Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you."

Point 1: All In vs. 1 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out…
What is.....                         . Prov 3:9 - Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;

When was…..                         .        Lev. 23:9-10 - 9 The Lord said to Moses, 10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.

Why did they give…..                         .     Proverbs 3:9-10 - Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.  Romans 11:16 - 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

What is the theological implications…..                         ..1 Corinthians 15:20 - 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  James 1:8 - 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

What is the impact..                         .… Genesis 4:3-5 - 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.                  .

Point 2: Carriers of His presence vs. 3…When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priest, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 

Point 3: Set the course vs. 4a Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before…



Point 4: Consecrate yourselves vs. 5Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you."
