Lessons You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way

Date:5/10/26

Series: Joshua

Speaker: BJ Chursinoff

The Bible doesn’t just tell us what happened—it teaches us how to live.

In Joshua 11–12, we see Israel face their greatest opposition yet and step into the fulfillment of God’s promises. Through their story, we discover three critical lessons that can save us from unnecessary pain and spiritual setback.

This message explores how fear can paralyze us, how misplaced trust can subtly lead us away from God, and how the “giants” we leave unchecked can continue to shape our lives.

God has already shown us a better way.

We don’t have to learn these lessons the hard way.
