Joshua 5-8 - Gilgal, Victory, Defeat and Renewal

Why would God pause a battle to deal with the heart? In Joshua 5–8, Pastor Paul shows how Israel entered the promised land through obedience, faced surprising defeat at Ai, and then returned to victory through repentance and renewal. You’ll see the importance of cutting away the flesh, remembering salvation like Passover, and trusting the Lord’s timing rather than self-confidence. This passage helps us recognize spiritual battles, understand how the enemy accuses, and learn why victory comes from walking with God—not our own strength.
