Sunday I was back at Agana Heights attending church (and not preaching this weekend.) The sermon was delivered by one of our PIU students, Josh Ladd. Josh did a great job (Mike and I did give him a critique) of preaching a narrative sermon on the stories of the conquering of Jericho and Ai from the book of Joshua. He focused on how often the people we expect to be “in the kingdom” are often “out” (Achan) and those we expect to be”out” show by their actions that they are “in.” He applied this by making the decision of Rahab, to give up her city, culture etc., and align herself with God’s people an example for us to make the decision to follow Jesus. It was great to see Josh applying what he had learned in class and at our Preaching conferences to make the Word come alive for the people at Agana Heights. In addition, the really cool thing, is that, at the same time, there were PIU graduates and current students doing this very same thing all over the island and throughout the region as they ministered in their churches.
