CONFESSION OF FAITH

Servant-Christ, help us to follow you deep into the waters of baptism; to link our lives with all those grieved about man’s unjust way of life; to break free from the chain of past wrongs; to become fit to face your coming new age; to be renewed by your Spirit, anointed to preach good news to the poor, the oppressed, and the prisoner: Help us to follow you, Christ the servant.

Help us to follow you far into the desert, with you to fast, denying false luxury, refusing the tempting ways of personal satisfaction, and unscrupulous persuasion: Help us to follow you, Christ the servant.

Help us to follow you in untiring ministry to town and village, to heal and restore the broken body of humanity, to cast out the demonic forces of greed, resentment, communal hatred, and self-destructive fear: Help us to follow you, Christ the servant.

SERMON TEXT | Joshua 2:8-14 ESV

8 Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof 9 and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. 10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. 11 And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. 12 Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign 13 that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” 14 And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the Lord gives us the land we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”
