Be Prepared
Dale Moore · June 7, 2026 · 11:00 AM service
Dale Moore opens with everyday examples of preparation, packing for a trip or getting ready for church, and turns to Amos 4:12 to press the question of whether we are prepared to meet God. Working through Joshua 5, the plagues and the Passover in Exodus, Deuteronomy 8, and Colossians 2, he shows how God dealt with the flesh, rolled away the reproach of Egypt, went before His people to prepare the land, and blotted out our sin at the cross. He closes with the sober warning of 1 Peter 5:8 and the uncertain trumpet of 1 Corinthians 14:8, urging believers to be prayed up, separated from the world, and ready for the battles that come.
“And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.”
