Sermon Notes: Wall Wreckers!

“WALL WRECKERS!” – “A Kingdom Emergency Part II”

Joshua 6:1-10, 15-20

INTRODUCTION

Walls are not new! They have been erected ever since ancient, Biblical times and come in all shapes and sizes. Walls function for at least one or more of several purposes: 1) to mark or maintain borders; 2) protect kingdoms and settlements; or 3) keep out “unwanted people.” The Great Wall of China still stands today and was originally erected to protect China from foreign raids and military invasions. The Berlin Wall, a symbol of the “Cold War” between Communist East Germany and Democratic West Germany, has fallen in favor of freedom and democracy. Despite some common ties, even the walls in Jerusalem continue to be a spiritual stress point for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. In more recent times, walls have also been built to serve as memorials and structures of art such as The Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Thus, walls have both spiritual, historical, cultural, and political significance.

Walls have risen and continue to rise while others have fallen. Today’s sermon focuses on physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological walls within our country, the Church, and our homes and communities. Where are the walls in your life? God reveals to us through Joshua an unconventional strategy on how to wreck walls with our mouths and feet as opposed to our hands! Walls will fall today! But, you and your faith must participate! God is calling for all Wall Wreckers!

CONCLUSION

By faith, we believe that an entire city (Jericho) fell when natural human beings obediently made a supernatural shout at a wall! Walls need to fall within our homes, churches, communities, schools, and this country! Jesus Christ obliterated the wall of sin that separated us from God and gave us unlimited access to the throne room! God has empowered us to be wall wreckers! With men and women some things are impossible, but with God all things are possible!
