When You are up against a Wall! (Part 5) - Going Deeper Questions

Sunday, August 3, 2025

Question #1: Where in your life are you currently facing a “Jericho wall”? What about this situation makes it an impenetrable wall? What would it take to shift from viewing this wall in the scope of reality to seeing it through the lens of the truth of God’s word?

Question #2: Have you been more focused on what you see or what God has said? In what areas have you allowed fear, doubt, or logic to override your faith? Pastor Chris read Hebrews 11:1 (CEV), which states, “Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see.”  Does this verse change your focus? Why or Why not? 

Question #3: What is something God has already promised you, but you’ve hesitated to believe or act on? What would it look like to step forward in faith today, trusting that the victory is already declared?

Question #4: Are you currently obeying God in an area where it doesn’t make sense? What’s the “march” God is asking you to do—even if it feels strange, repetitive, or ineffective? Are you willing to obey even when the outcome is uncertain? Why or Why not?

Question #5: Have you delayed a step of obedience because you’re waiting for the wall to fall first? What has God clearly told you to do that you haven’t yet acted on? What’s holding you back—fear, pride, confusion, or something else?

Question #6: Warren Wiersbe states, “When we accept God’s plan, we invite God’s presence, and that guarantees victory.” What difference does God’s presence have on our Jericho situations?

Challenge: 

1. Take time to truly identify your Jericho wall today. Discover what looks impossible.

2. Spend time alone with God this week asking Him to reveal His promise.

3. You may not understand the full plan that God has laid out. But begin today to step out in faith. Trusting that God will in fact tear the walls down in your situation.
