Noah Herrin preaches from Joshua 24 urging families and individuals to make God the undisputed priority in their homes. He contrasts dependence on God in the wilderness with the tendency to rely on success and possessions in the promised land, warning that cultural pressures are fighting for our houses. Herrin gives practical markers for discerning who you serve - what you talk about, think about, spend your time on, and spend your money on - and uses research showing parental church attendance strongly influences children. He calls listeners to fight for their homes through faithful worship, discipleship at home, consistent church involvement, prayer, and sacrificial giving, believing God can do what only He can do for families that persist in faith.
“"You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins if you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods."” · Noah Herrin

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state.
