Follow the Promises: Three Giants and Two Springs
OneTwo Church at South Padre Island
Three giants don’t wait for a convenient day to show up. They come daily, and they come loud: the world telling you to find life in substitutes, the flesh pulling you back into old coping paths, and the devil pressing shame like it’s the final word. We sit in Joshua 15 with Caleb as he takes the mountain God promised and drives out three giants, then we bring that picture straight into real life with a simple question: what are you actually fighting, and what are you fighting with?
From there, the story turns unexpectedly tender when Caleb’s daughter Achsah asks for “a blessing” and requests springs of water. A good field without water is still dry land, and that becomes a mirror for the Christian life when we try to live on self-source effort. We talk about abiding in Christ as relationship, not performance, and why Jesus can say, “Ask whatever you desire,” without turning prayer into a Ferrari wish list. The key is humility, dependence, and a heart shaped by God’s word.
We also name the mountains that can stand between us and joy: disappointment, fear, comparison, control, lust, and the subtle lie that God is mad at you. Then we lean into the only strategy that actually brings rest: grace upon grace, living water through the Holy Spirit, and truth that answers accusation. If you feel thirsty, stuck, or tired of digging your own well, press play and come thirsty.
