Israel is the main geographic location for a majority of the Bible. But it's not just a place, it is also a people and an idea. How does Israel (the land, the people, the idea) fit in the context of the New Testament and the New Covenant? How can Israel still be God's chosen people when the Church is the people of God? How should Christians view the modern nation of Israel with everything going on in our world today? We hope this episode of Starting Points creates conversations around this topic.

Starting Points- How Does Israel Fit In The Bible?

Jesus is risen indeed!

Today, Pastor Adam talks about how Easter isn't just about the empty tomb but about how Easter means we can know God! Not just know about God, but actually know God personally and directly!

Easter At Faith

We are back in the book of Joshua. This week we talk about the people who opposed and fought against the children of Israel taking the land. Who where they and what was really going on? We also talk about skipping "boring" parts of the Bible.

Joshua 11 & 12- Make a Choice

Chapter 13 starts out with God telling Joshua "you are too old". But God had used Moses in his old age and would use many older women and men after Joshua, why did it matter now?

This week Pastor Adam talks about the very real issue of Ageism in the American church and how some people have unique callings unlike the rest of God's people.

Joshua 13 & 14- Does God Care About Your Age?

This week we talk about why Israel stopped fighting for better things and instead turned to sin and apathy. We'll also talk about cultural norms vs Biblical commands and how that works out in the Christian's life.

Joshua 15-17: Don't Give Up On Something Better

Sometimes people ask what kind of church we are? We get it. Faith on Hill is a generic name based largely on our street address. In this short video, Pastor Adam describes an average Sunday morning and talks about how we are an intentionally simple church that is part of a larger family but here for this community.

What Kind Of Church Are You?

Seven Tribes of Israel had still not fulfilled the commands of God. Joshua now speaks prophetically to the people. Are their prophets in our day? What does that look like and who are they? We'll talk about it as we look at chapters 18 & 19 of the book of Joshua.

Where Are the Prophets?

In Chapter 20 God commands that cities of refuge be established in the land of Israel. In Chapter 21, God commands that Levitical cities be established. But by the time of Christ, none of this was happening or even possible. What do you do when the Bible has a clear command, rule or practice for God's people that can no longer be followed?

Joshua 20 & 21- Being Biblical

Last week we didn't have the chance to look at verse 43-45 of Joshua chapter 21. It is the summary of the people of Israel taking possession of the promised land. Yet, it is not exactly true. So how do we deal with that? What can we learn and does it matter to our lives today?

Sermon Extra- Unfinished Business

In Joshua 22 there is family drama among the children of Israel that almost leads to a Civil War. What caused it and what can we learn from it so we can avoid the same relational issues in our homes and communities?

Joshua 22- Family Drama

Over 25 years after the book of Joshua begins, Joshua calls the leaders of Israel together to give one final message to the people as he nears the end of his life. This week we will talk about what Joshua thought were the most important things he could say to the people and how they matter to our lives in 2024.
