Ken Boa teaches on the conquest of Canaan, described in the first six chapters of Joshua, and an act that would be achieved in God's own power, not in the Israelites' strength.
Standing on the threshold of the Promised Land, the Israelites backed away from all God had for them, not because the people were too big but because of how they saw themselves in light of the people there.
After the Israelites were delivered from the hand of the Egyptians and they were waiting to enter the Promised Land, God, through Moses, taught them how to live in their newfound freedom. These principles, summarized in the Ten Commandments, still have a profound impact on the world today.
The exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land was as much about the process as it was about the outcome; the same can be said of our life journeys, because God is not just taking us somewhere, but He's making us someone in the process: a people for His own possession, for His own glory.
Preaching at Christ Church of Atlanta on August 19, 2018, Ken Boa connects passages from Psalm 147, Proverbs 9, and Ephesians 5, emphasizing how the glory and beauty of creation should lead us into praise and worship of the Creator, who in turn calls us to walk in wisdom (with every aspect of our lives under His dominion).
Ken Boa's 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible series continues with Genesis 12, in which we learn how God did the impossible through a "random nobody who lived in the middle of nowhere."
Ken Boa introduces this new series based on his book coauthored with John Alan Turner. The first teaching focuses on the creation story, taken from Genesis 1 and 2.
Ken Boa shifts to practical application of his teaching on life's purpose by focusing on some personal principles and values that help us review and remind ourselves of our purpose as humans, as believers, and as individuals.
