The sermon focuses on the importance of celebrating victories, both big and small, in our Christian walk. Using the story of Joshua's victories in the promised land, the pastor emphasizes how we often fail to acknowledge and celebrate God's work in our lives. He discusses how modern Christians need to be intentional about recognizing God's miracles, praying about decisions as a family, and celebrating victories with both believers and non-believers.

Lord, as we gather to discuss Your word, open our hearts and minds to understand how we can better celebrate Your work in our lives. Help us to recognize the victories You provide and guide our discussion to glorify You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

How can we better celebrate our faith with non-believers?

What small victory can you celebrate today that you might have overlooked?

God-given victories should be celebrated together as a family

God-given victories are celebrated only on the side of obedience

We should celebrate victories with both believers and non-believers

Small victories are worth celebrating and can lead to bigger victories

Heavenly Father, thank You for the victories You provide in our lives, both big and small. Help us to be more intentional about recognizing and celebrating Your work in our lives. Give us the courage to share these celebrations with others, both believers and non-believers, that they might see Your relevance in our daily lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.
