Neither

Passage

Joshua 5:13-15

Sermon Summary

“Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” Joshua's question resonates deeply within us, especially in the midst of a divisive election. We may find ourselves wondering whose side God is on. Yet, the response Joshua receives is a reminder we all need: neither. God is on God's side. The question is not whether God is on our side, but rather, are we on God’s side?
