Generosity 2 | Pastor Will Hawk | 23 November 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/11/23

We trace how wealth can hide our need for God, why a single encounter with Jesus rarely brings clear sight, and how desire, discipline, and devotion reshape the way we give. Scripture reframes tithing as a starting point and elevates generosity that pursues justice, mercy, and mission. • rich young ruler and the shock of wealth • two-touch healing as a metaphor for spiritual sight • desire, discipline, devotion as a growth path • Israel’s three tithes and firstfruits trust&...

2025/11/09

Some choices shape a morning; others shape a life. Joshua’s last words cut through noise and nostalgia with a simple, unsettling challenge: choose this day whom you will serve. We walk through his final charge and discover why his focus isn’t on his victories or titles but on a relentless catalog of God’s action—I took, I led, I gave, I sent, I delivered. That rhythm reframes success and faithfulness, showing us that the strongest lives are built by clinging to the Giver, not curating a résum...

What if the most “boring” parts of Joshua are actually the brightest windows into God’s heart? We walk through the land allotments and find more than borders and cities; we find a faithful God who keeps every promise and then invites us into something larger than maps can hold. The text says Israel received rest, yet Hebrews insists a greater rest still waits. That tension becomes the key: the quiet after battle foreshadows a Sabbath that begins with trust and culminates in the presence of Ch...

2025/10/26

A ragged caravan, cracked wineskins, and a story that won’t let go: Joshua 9 shows what happens when clever deception meets unprayed decisions. We walk through the Gibeonite ruse, the leaders’ oath, and the shocking part—God holds Israel to a promise they never should have made. From there we map a crucial framework most of us feel but rarely name: the difference between a promise, a contract, and a covenant. One rests on honesty, one on justice, and one on relationship. To anchor it, we revi...

The Sun Stands Still | Will Hawk + Thomas | 19...

MidTree Church ·

2025/10/19

We trace Joshua 10 from five kings attacking Gibeon to God’s hail and a halted sun, then pivot to why Scripture says the day was unique: God listened to a man. We rethink prayer habits—short, corporate, faith-filled—and ask God to involve us in the answer. • five kings unite against gibeon • overnight march and panic in the enemy • hailstones fall and tip the battle • sun stands still to complete the victory • kings trapped, feet on their necks • gospel thread from joshua to jesus • prayer a...

Restoration & Victory | Will Hawk | Oct 12, 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/10/12

We trace Joshua’s return to Ai and the surprising grace of second chances, where God repeats old promises, calls us back to hard places, and turns past failure into future wisdom. Pride falls, generosity reorders the heart, and confession opens the door to mercy. • second chances rooted in God’s unchanging promise • returning to the place of loss with humility • the “only” that reveals seek first then receive • generosity as a disposition not an amount • how God leverages failure for future ...

2025/10/05

A single question threads through ancient battlefields and modern routines: who are we choosing today? We walk through Joshua 5–8 to trace a pattern that feels uncannily current—kneel before the Lord, experience the joy of obedience, face the wreckage of hidden sin, and return to renewal. Along the way, we hear Jesus’s clear, present-tense call from Luke 9: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow. The contrasts are vivid: Joshua meets the commander of the Lord’s army and discovers...

Consecration Before Conquest | Will Hawk | 14 Sept. 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/09/28

Joshua 5 demonstrates God's perfect timing as Israel pauses for a week in enemy territory after crossing the Jordan River, showing that weakness doesn't necessitate timidity and that God's people can find peace even in opposition. • Israel enters the Promised Land and immediately sets up camp at Gilgal while surrounded by enemies • Joshua circumcises all the men, making them temporarily vulnerable but recommitting them to God's covenant • The celebration of Passover reminds the people of God...

The Cost of Hidden Sin | Will Hawk | 28 Sept. 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/09/28

The story of Achan in Joshua 7 reveals how one person's hidden sin affected an entire community and teaches us that while we can commit sin, we can never contain its consequences. • One person's disobedience caused defeat for Israel at Ai and the death of 36 soldiers • The Valley of Achor (meaning "trouble") shows the severity of sin's consequences • We often misdiagnose difficulties in our lives instead of examining hidden sin • Joshua's response of tearing his clothes and falling to the gr...

The Walls Fall | Will Hawk | 221 Sept. 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/09/21

We explore the powerful story of Jericho's fall in Joshua 6, uncovering surprising insights about faith, silence, and God's redemptive work that often get overlooked in this familiar biblical narrative. • Understanding Jericho's true scale – a city of only 6-7 acres that would take about 15 minutes to walk around • God's approach to victory involves both His sovereignty (100%) and our obedience (100%) • The unusual "parade" formation before battle demonstrates worshipping before seeing resul...

Asaph's raw journey through spiritual doubt and rediscovered faith in Psalm 77 reveals how we can navigate times when God feels distant yet remains faithful. • Moving from crying out to God in deep distress to finding comfort in remembering His character • Running to God even when our cries are ugly and our pain feels overwhelming • Learning that our theology should shape how we suffer rather than letting suffering shape our theology • Recognizing that our seemingly impossible situatio...

2025/08/31

What's the most important thing you've ever forgotten? Maybe it was an anniversary, a doctor's appointment, or your car keys. We are people prone to forget, which is why God established memorials throughout Scripture to help His people remember His mighty works. In Joshua 4, we find the Israelites standing at a pivotal moment in their history. After wandering in the wilderness for forty years, they've finally crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land—on dry ground, no less. God command...

What rivers of impossibility are you facing right now? The story of Joshua leading Israel across the Jordan offers a surprising message of hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. This powerful exploration of Joshua 3 reveals that beneath the dramatic miracle of waters parting lies something even more remarkable - the unseen currents of God's faithfulness flowing through history. Like children playing with beach toys, we often focus on what's happening above the surface whil...

What if your greatest shame became your greatest testimony? The story of Rahab challenges everything we think we know about who belongs in God's family. Joshua 2 takes us to an unexpected location—the house of a prostitute in Jericho—where two Israelite spies find refuge as they scout the Promised Land. But this isn't just any woman; Rahab is a foreigner who demonstrates extraordinary faith despite her background. With soldiers searching the city for these men, she hides them and makes a stu...

2025/08/10

The journey from the wilderness to the Promised Land represents one of Scripture's most pivotal transitions—and in this illuminating exploration of Joshua 1:1-9, we discover how God orchestrates leadership transitions that advance His unchanging mission. When Moses dies, God doesn't pause to mourn or reassess. Instead, He immediately commands Joshua: "Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go." This remarkable moment teaches us that while leaders may change, God's purposes never fal...

Spotless Faith: Peter's Final Challenge to Believers...

MidTree Church ·

2025/08/03

The paradox at the heart of Christian life can feel impossible to resolve: how can we strive diligently for holiness while simultaneously experiencing deep peace? In this final sermon on 2 Peter, we explore the apostle's parting wisdom to believers awaiting Christ's return and a world "in which righteousness dwells." Peter challenges us with seemingly contradictory instructions: "Be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish and at peace." This tension between extreme effort and com...

Have you ever made Kool-Aid and noticed how the sugary goodness settles to the bottom if left unstirred? That's exactly what happens to our spiritual lives when we forget the urgency of Christ's return. In this powerful message from 2 Peter 3:8-13, we explore how easily Christians can become "settled" rather than "stirred" in their faith. Peter writes specifically to believers—not unbelievers—warning about scoffers who mock the promise of Christ's return by saying "all things continue as the...

Faith Over Knowledge | Pastor Will Hawk | July 20, 2025

MidTree Church ·

2025/07/20

What happens when knowledge becomes more important than faith? In this penetrating exploration of 2 Peter 2, we confront the uncomfortable reality of false teaching and its destructive influence in our lives. The sermon begins with a fishing story that captures our relationship with Scripture. Sometimes we throw out a perfect cast net that catches nothing, while a tangled mess somehow brings in fish. Similarly, our approach to God's word shouldn't depend on our expertise but on our willingne...

MidTree Church ·

2025/07/13

At the end of life, what truly matters? In this profound exploration of 2 Peter 1:16-21, we discover that Peter—facing his own mortality—chose not to impart new knowledge but to remind believers of timeless truths they already knew. Against our culture's obsession with novelty and innovation, Peter presents a radical alternative: the gospel never grows old, no matter how familiar it becomes. He recounts his experience on the Mount of Transfiguration, where he witnessed Christ's glory firstha...

Faith of Equal Standing | Pastor Will Hawk | July...

MidTree Church ·

2025/07/06

We explore the revolutionary concept that every Christian stands on equal footing with the apostles themselves, not through our own merit, but through the righteousness of Christ. • God has granted believers "all things that pertain to life and godliness" through knowing Christ • Many Christians experience a "false start" by trying to earn God's approval rather than beginning with faith • Faith must come first, followed by supplements like virtue, knowledge, self-control and love • Our relat...
