Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
…Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

Praise Him! Praise Him!
Fanny Crosby
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth– His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! highest archangels in glory;
Strength and honor give to His holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;
In His arms, He carries them all day long.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness.
Praise Him! Praise Him ever in joyful song!
Praise Him, praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died.
He, our Rock, our Hope of eternal salvation—
Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus, the Crucified!
Sound His praises! Jesus, who bore our sorrows!
Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong. Refrain
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever.
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious;
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong! Refrain

2 Corinthians 4
Leader: But we have this treasure in jars of clay
People: to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Leader: We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
People: perplexed, but not in despair;
Leader: persecuted, but not abandoned;
People: struck down, but not destroyed.
Leader: We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,
People: so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Leader: For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,
People: so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden,
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine. Refrain
In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night. Refrain
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone. Refrain
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me. Refrain
Scripture Reading
Joshua 6:1-7
Carmetta Williams
Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
Message
Jericho Is Bound To Fall
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
※ When a situation comes where you must go but cannot go forward, and you cannot go back either.
1. You are children of God, and God’s covenant does not change.
2. Misconception – Jericho is the oldest city, and there was a trade route leading to Philistia. It was a prepared city and a fortified stronghold.
3. Fact – Because of the evidence that had already taken place, the people inside Jericho had fled and lost their strength.
▣ Introduction – What you must know first
1. Do not use the methods of unbelievers.
…1) They will talk about fortune-telling, shamanistic rituals, legal strategies, military strategies, business strategies, political discussions, public opinion, and atmosphere. If you listen to these things, it will become a big problem.
…2) You are people of the covenant. Hold firmly to the covenant.
2. Look at the biblical and historical flow.
…1) The flow of evangelism – Because there was no gospel, they went into slavery. Through Moses, God restored the gospel (the Exodus). They must go to Canaan and carry out world evangelization.
…2) The flow of the Word – Through ten miracles, God delivered them from Egypt and allowed them to cross the Red Sea and the Jordan River.
…3) The flow of prayer – Many people complained, but when the people of prayer prayed, God worked.
3. The absolute
…1) Absolute sovereignty – You must believe that God is the One who governs our lives.
…2) Absolute plan – If Jericho collapses, the darkness of the whole world collapses.
…3) Absolute covenant – The gospel. Israel will go to the land of Canaan.
…4) Absolute journey – Jericho, the suffering you experience, and even your happiness are all part of the absolute journey.
…5) There is an absolute goal.
▣ Main – Experience the power of God in reality.
1. Experience the fact that it can be done only by the gospel and the power of God.
…1) Verse 1 – It looked like a huge fortress, but the gate was shut, and no one went in or out.
…2) Verse 2 – The king of that city and the warriors became powerless. You thought you were suffering, but it has all been changed into evidence.
…3) Verse 2 – “I have given.” You are going to accomplish what God has already given.
2. Experience that the mystery of prayer moves the universe, the world, and the future.
…1) Just follow the Ark of the Covenant and go around the city – build the bartizan of prayer.
…2) Verse 3 – “March around the city once every day for six days.”
…3) Verse 4 – “The priests (the servants of the Lord) shall carry seven trumpets and go before the Ark of the Covenant. Blow the trumpets, carry the Ark, and march around.”
3. Experience the power of united prayer – “On the last day, go around seven times and shout together.”
…1) Before Jericho, create a relay so that the entire church will be completely connected to prayer, evangelism, and the Word.
…2) Verse 5 – “On the last day shout with a loud voice.”
…3) Verse 10 – “Do not open your mouth while marching around, but on the last day shout together.” – Do not listen to people’s voices; hold to the covenant, become one, and pray.
▣ Conclusion – Hold on to the evidence.
1. The family line of Abraham who held onto the covenant of Genesis 3:15 – God used Joseph for world evangelization.
2. Exodus 3:18 – Seven people held onto the covenant, “Go and offer a blood sacrifice,” and God’s work took place.
3. 1 Samuel 7:9–10 – In the Mizpah movement, four people who participated in the covenant of the blood sacrifice completely blocked the Philistines.
4. Isaiah 7:14 – Five remnants who held onto the covenant that Immanuel was the way to live during captivity overturned Babylon.
5. The church officers who helped Paul – They became one, built the 24 bartizan, went on the 25 journey, and established the guideposts.

Hymn
Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
George Duffield
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high His royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
till ev’ry foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict,
in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in His strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls or danger,
be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song.
To him who over-cometh
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally.
Prayer · Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
…hallowed be thy name;
…thy kingdom come;
…thy will be done;
…on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
…as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
…but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
…the power and the glory,
…forever and ever.
Amen.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price
Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.
And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night,
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!
We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail. Chorus
Benediction
