Let The Walls Fall Down part 1

September 6, 2024

In Joshua chapter six we have the very famous account of the fall of Jericho. We all face “Jericho’s” today - in  a manner of speaking.  Walking by faith - obedient faith focused on God - is still how the walls of Jericho fall today. 

References: Joshua 6

Before we come to Joshua’s encounter with the Lord. The Children of Israel are  instructed in circumcision and in the celebration of the passover. Let’s make our way over to Joshua chapter five and we’ll pick things up in verse eight.

I think we’ve all encountered things in life which required a gigantic step of faith.  The people of Israel certainly had one prior to their entrance into the Promised Land.  But God was more than able to handle their predicament, and He can handle anything that comes into our lives as well. Today we’ll be in Joshua five.  Let’s hand things over to pastor Al Pittman as resumes his study of Joshua.

Pastor Al Pittman is going to emphasize Joshua chapter four today as we continue our new series in this great Old Testament book.  Let’s find our place there now for a message called, “Memorial Stones.”

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll see that God had the people of Israel set up twelve stones of remembrance in strategic places.  They were to be a reminder of what God did at the Jordan, and how mighty and powerful God is.  Pastor Al Pittman will suggest we need stones of memory too, which remind us of those times when God met us in a special way.

Someone has said that love is the spiritual lubricant that keeps life running smoothly.  That’s true, and as we’ll discover today,  it was the secret to the success of the Church in the first century.  In First Thessalonians chapter four verses nine through twelve, we learn that love is not only evidence of life in the Lord and a true knowledge of Him, but also evidence that we are truly His disciples.

Pastor Al Pittman is on a journey through Joshua, and in chapter three we find the miracle of the crossing of the Jordan.  As is the case with all of God’s miracles, He is going to communicate an important message to us- it’s a brilliant picture for our lives today as Christians.

Today on The Dwelling Place the Lord elevates Joshua into a position of leadership. His God-given task was to lead God’s children into the Promised Land…. Something they’d been waiting to do for forty years.  To get there they’d have to cross over the Jordan.  Pastor Al Pittman reminds us the Lord is still raising up leaders today.

 The list of Bible heroes includes incredible men that God used in great ways - men like Noah, Moses, and Joseph - names you would expect to see on such a  list. But, there’s also a name included that you perhaps wouldn’t expect to see. Her name is Rahab and she was a prostitute. How can a prostitute be included in the Hall of Faith, you ask? Stay tuned to find out. 
August 28, 2024
Today on The Dwelling Place, pastor Al Pittman will have us consider Rahab's faith, and show us the difference she made while here on earth - by God’s grace.   This is just part of our new series in the book of Joshua.  Our reference point today will be Joshua two -  where we meet up with Rahab.

Joshua was a great leader, but he was also a servant of God. He trusted God to lead him the enormous task he had before him. The book of Joshua is a great source of inspiration and encouragement.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents.
