COT:
>From the excellent sermon Mouthwash delivered Sunday (www.podbean.com/ew/pb-x99x9-18b0705):

Joshua 10:12-14
[12] At that time Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
[13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day. [14] There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.

How big is your God? As for the God of the Bible: “He’s got the whole world in his hands.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Isolation vs Community
Peter was alone when he denied Jesus. I noticed when reading through Acts every time “filled with the Spirit” was mentioned they were in a group with a clear trial or purpose. Satan love’s isolation and the opposite is true of the Holy Spirit. We have to be aware and not be afraid of being vulnerable and recognize the importance of community and fellowship. Also, it is possible to be around others and still be isolated internally.
