Joshua 7:1
February 24, 2002
Well, it's good to see you here today and I believe God has a great word for us. I had a marvelous time this week in the Word of God and I can't wait to share what the Lord gave me from the book of Joshua.

They had defeated the mighty city of Jericho and there were some reasons that they had pride and they had begun to experience prayerlessness. They began to presume on God that just because they won one victory that they would always win the vi ...
