Victorious Living (1995)

The “Victorious Living” series, delivered in 1995, draws timeless lessons from the life of Joshua and the people of Israel, showing how faith, obedience, and trust in God lead to genuine spiritual triumph. Across these classes, practical insights blend with rich biblical accounts to help us navigate challenges, avoid pitfalls, and remain steadfast. Bro. Bob urges us to live faithfully in both high and low moments, and to finish the race with courage and joy.

Scared Stiff

Fear can paralyze or propel us. In this opening talk, we see how God calls His people to move forward despite their fears, trusting in His promises. Drawing from the account of Joshua and the Israelites, the message encourages replacing worry with courage grounded in God’s faithfulness, and reminds us that bold steps in obedience often lead to unexpected blessings.

L.W.K.C.S.

This lesson emphasizes living with keen spiritual sensitivity—keeping Christ steadily in view. Through vivid illustrations and scriptural reflection, we are reminded that consistency, vigilance, and an unwavering focus on God’s direction are essential for daily victory. It’s an encouragement to cultivate habits that keep our hearts aligned with His purpose.

Water Flows Uphill

Using the story of Israel’s miraculous crossing of the Jordan, this talk explores how God often calls His people into situations that seem impossible from a human perspective. Just as water appeared to defy nature, God’s power makes a way when there seems to be none. The call is to step out in faith, trusting that He can and will do the unexpected.

Whose Side Are You On?

When Joshua encounters the captain of the Lord’s host, he learns that the ultimate question is not whether God is on our side, but whether we are on His. This message challenges us to examine our loyalties, submit our plans to God’s will, and commit fully to His cause. True victory comes from aligning ourselves with Him rather than expecting Him to align with us.

A Goodly Babylonish Garment

The defeat at Ai reveals how pride, ingratitude, and hidden sin can undermine even the strongest community. Through the example of Achan’s disobedience, we see the importance of humility, thankfulness, and personal accountability. The lesson urges us to “return to Gilgal” often—renewing our covenant with God, seeking forgiveness, and keeping our hearts free from the things that bring spiritual harm.

As For Me and My House

In the closing message, the deception of the Gibeonites warns against hasty decisions made without seeking God’s counsel. The steadfastness of Caleb, even into old age, inspires us to keep pressing forward in service without retiring from our spiritual responsibilities. The exhortation is clear: make deliberate, prayerful choices, and commit—like Joshua—to serve the Lord wholeheartedly in every stage of life.
