Sunday Study Session — Weekly meeting time 10:15 in Room 301 at Owensboro Christian Church

April 19, 2026 — Session 2: The 45-Year Marathon (Staying Fresh in the Wilderness) -  Joshua 14:6–10 Keeping your heart whole during seasons of waiting and collective discouragement. Study Notes  —  Audio Essay What to Look For Notice how many times Caleb mentions 'wholly' or 'wholeheartedly' following the Lord—this repeated emphasis tells us something important about his character. Pay attention to what Caleb says about his own strength and energy at age 85, not as boasting but as a statement of fact about God's sustenance. Look at how Caleb frames his 40 years of waiting—not as wasted time or punishment, but as a journey that kept him close to God. The Passage Joshua 14:6–10  (NIV) 6 Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant...

General Statement God created the world, and it was very good. But sin brought disorder, devastation, and death to God’s creation and to humanity. The Old Testament tells the story of God’s patience with His rebellious covenant people and His promise to rescue sinners and restore His broken world. The New Testament announces that God has fulfilled those ancient promises, revealing His goodness and loving kindness by sending Jesus Christ, our Savior. The Gospels recount the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Savior and King. Acts shows how His followers carried His mission forward, proclaiming the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit among all nations.
