Basic Christian Values | Promises of God | Neenah | January 4, 2026

This message continues the Basic Christian Values series by focusing on The Promises of God, using Israel’s crossing of the Jordan in Joshua as a picture of the church entering a new season. It teaches that God is the one who makes promises and is always faithful to fulfill them, though His timing often requires patience, trust, and preparation. God works through people—sometimes unexpected ones like Moses and Rahab—and through a unified body of believers to accomplish His purposes, calling His people to be strong, courageous, obedient, and united. The sermon emphasizes that stepping into God’s promises is only the beginning, as faith requires action, perseverance, and spiritual battle, but God’s presence always goes before His people. Finally, it calls believers to remember what God has already done, because remembering His faithfulness builds faith and courage to move forward confidently into the future He has promised.
