Give me this Mountain | Joshua 14:6-14

Give me this Mountain | Joshua 14:6-14

Author: Brandon Holthaus June 21, 2026 Duration: 1:09:34
This Father's Day message explores one of the greatest examples of biblical courage found in Scripture—the life of Caleb. While an entire generation gave in to fear, Caleb stood alone, trusted God's promises, and remained faithful for 45 years as he waited for God to fulfill His word. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines the courage to stand alone, to believe God rather than circumstances, to wait on the Lord's timing, to overcome the consequences of other people's failures, and to finish strong. Caleb's famous declaration, "Give me this mountain," challenges every believer to stop pursuing comfort and start pursuing obedience. What mountain has God placed in front of you? A prodigal child? A broken relationship? Financial pressure? Health struggles? An uncertain future? Caleb teaches us that courageous believers do not deny reality—they simply believe God is bigger than reality. Delays are not denials. Faithfulness matters. And it is never too late to take new ground for the Lord. Join us as we learn why Caleb was still ready for battle at 85 years old and how his example can inspire fathers, families, and every believer to finish the race well. #FathersDay #Caleb #GiveMeThisMountain #BiblicalCourage #ChristianLiving #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #Joshua14 #BibleTeaching #PastorBrandonHolthaus #RockHarborChurch #TipOfTheSpearMinistries #Faithfulness #StandAlone #FinishStrong #ChristianMen #BiblicalManhood #ChristianEncouragement #WalkByFaith #ProphecyTeacher
