“Failure is the mother of success” — a popular Chinese saying — certainly applied to the Israelites in Joshua 8. After their defeat at Ai, they repented and trusted God again to gain the victory. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that if we turn back and recognize God as our Lord, He will transform our defeats into victories.

Sins are like viruses or germs; they can kill us even when unseen, and our sins can “infect” others spiritually without our knowledge. This week, let us listen and learn as Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shows us how Israel’s hidden sins led to their defeat at Ai.

We all have personal “Jerichos” — fear, guilt, sin, addiction, negativity, anger, and more — that keep us from an abundant Christian life. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reflects on the experience of Joshua and the Israelites to reassure us that when we abide in Jesus, we too can overcome our personal Jerichos.

Joshua Chapter 5 records the three extraordinary steps the Jews took to prepare for their forthcoming battle with Jericho. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that our human ideas of preparation will hardly ever match the Lord’s and that our obedience to His will is the key to success.
