1
Caleb Give
me this mountain
  • Joshua 1412

2
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Introduction Remember Rom. 154
  • A. Caleb, one of the twelve spies, Num. 13, 14.
  • B. All brought back favorable report of land.
  • C. But they saw large fortified cities and
    giants.
  • D. Ten spies said we are not able they are
    stronger than we. 1331.

3
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • I. But my servant Caleb has a different spirit
    in him, and has followed me fully. Num. 1424.
  • He said, Let us go up at once and take
    possession for we are well able to overcome it,
    1330.
  • Not half-hearted. Didnt serve God half-way.
  • Recognized Gods will and was fully committed to
    doing it.

4
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • A. Caleb had faith instead of doubt. Num. 14
  • 148, If the Lord delights in us
  • 149, The Lord is with us. Do not fear them.
  • They didnt think so! Felt alone, facing giants.
  • Job 238-9, I go forward, but He is not there,
    and backward, but I cannot perceive Him When He
    works on the left hand, I cannot see Him.
  • What about us? Phil. 212, 13, God is involved!

5
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • 1411, How long will they not believe me?
  • Did they say we dont believe God?
  • Their actions said it loud and clear.
  • To say we cannot means God cannot.

6
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • B. Caleb had courage instead of fear.
  • Deut. 121, 'Look, the Lord your God has set the
    land before you go up and possess it, as the
    Lord God of your fathers has spoken to you do
    not fear or be discouraged.
  • Caleb believed this at first and still believed
    it after 40 years in the wilderness.

7
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • The other ten spies said, We are not able to go
    up against the people, for they are stronger than
    we (Num. 1331). Grasshopper complex, v. 33.
  • But Caleb saw same fortified cities and giants
    they saw.
  • And he said, We are well able to over come it.

8
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • C. Caleb was optimistic rather than pessimistic.
  • They said, a land that devours its
    inhabi-tants men of great stature we were like
    grasshoppers. Num. 1332, 33.
  • Caleb said, they are our bread their protection
    has departed from them. 149.
  • Phil. 112-14 Was Paul the prisoner overcome by
    despair? 423.

9
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • D. Caleb was a man of hope, not despair.
  • Num. 141-4, lifted up their voices and cried
    if only we had died in Egypt(or) in desert
  • How soon they forgot the iron furnace of Egypt
  • Caleb had no desire to return, much less die
    there or in the wilderness. He was bound for the
    promise land.

10
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Its so very hard for some brethren to break with
    the world. Still holds great attraction for them.
  • Must remember that we are pilgrims (1 Pet.
    117 211).
  • Our citizenship is in heaven, Phil. 320.

11
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • II. Caleb knew that the struggle was worthwhile.
  • Num. 147, The land is an exceedingly good
    land a land that flows with milk and honey.
  • Is our promised land, our home over there
    less valuable? Is it worth the effort and the
    struggle?

12
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Anything that is good and desireable costs.
    Effort, time, money, exertion, sacrifice.
  • To refuse to deny ourselves, put forth genuine
    effort, make sacrifices means it isnt worth
    it.
  • Is that what we think of our salvation, the
    church, salvation of others, our marriage,
    rearing our children, etc.?

13
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • III. Caleb knew they were not alone.
  • Num. 148, 9, The Lord will bring us into this
    land The Lord is with us. Do not fear them.
  • Josh. 15, I will not leave you or forsake
    you.
  • Heb. 135, I will never forsake you.

14
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Cannot overemphasize this point. God is involved
    in our lives. Were not on automatic pilot.
  • Think how interested He is bound to be in His
    church, His people, His work.
  • We know how involved He was with Joseph, Esther,
    Daniel, Paul.
  • Could He be less interested and involved in the
    lives of His people now?

15
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • IV. Caleb knew that it was now or never.
  • So he said, Let us go up at once. Num. 1330.
  • 1429, your carcasses shall fall in this
    wilder-ness you shall by no means enter the
    land.
  • 1440, Then they were ready! Here we are, and we
    will go up to the place the Lord has promised
  • 1442, Do not go up, lest you be defeated the
    Lord is not among you.

16
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • We are so sure of the future. Theres time
    enough yet and nothing is going to happen to
    me.
  • Untold thousands are dying daily. For them it was
    now or never.
  • Matt. 2511, 12, they arrived too late!

17
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • V. Caleb did not vote with the majority.
  • Ten spies said we are not able. Caleb voted
    with the minority (two against a multitude).
  • Only he and Joshua said we are well able.
  • Rom. 122 1 Pet. 44, let them think its
    strange.
  • 2 Tim. 416, At my first defense no one stood
    with me, but all forsook meBut the Lord stood
    with me and strengthened me.

18
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • VI. Caleb did not let old age stop him!
  • Josh. 147-11, spy at 40, warrior from 80 to 85.
  • Did not say, Im old tired done enough want
    to retire. Phil. 312, 13.
  • He didnt seek the path of least resistance.
  • Caleb sought new conquests, new horizons.

19
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Give me this mountain (mountainous region,
    Hebron). What did he mean?
  • You younger men conquer it for me? Fight the
    giants and fortified cities for me?
  • No, but rather Give me the privilege of
    con-quering this land.

20
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • It is very encouraging to see people accept
    challenges in spite of youth, advanced age.
  • Many handicapped (challenged) accept great
    challenges. Show me what you CAN do.
  • Key word of Revelation overcome. Rom. 837.

21
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Members of the church of Christ that seek an
    easy religion are in the wrong church.
  • The church of Christ is the church purchased on
    Mount Calvary. Acts 2028.

22
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • VII. What are the mountains facing us?
  • Great challenges for elders, deacons,
    evangelists, teachers, all the members in the
    Lords work.
  • Problems? Frustrations? Give me this mountain.

23
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Young people must face challenge of peer
    pressure to conform, 1 Pet. 44 Rom. 122.
  • Must always have a different spirit.
  • Challenge to remain chaste and pure.
  • Challenge in the class room (or wherever) if
    teach evolution, or that homosexuality acceptable

24
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Jesus never said its easy. Matt. 714, narrow
    is the gate and difficult is the way that leads
    to life, and there are few who find it.
  • Matt. 1034, I did not come to bring peace
  • Matt. 1624, deny himself, take up his cross
  • Eph. 610-19, put on the whole armor

25
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • Conclusion. Lets remember Caleb!
  • He didnt vote with the majority.
  • He had a different spirit, followed fully.
  • He had faith instead of doubt courage instead of
    fear optimism instead of pessimism hope instead
    of despair
  • He knew the struggle was worthwhile. Anything
    that is worthwhile costs but is worth it.

26
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • He knew they were not alone and for God there are
    no fortified cities or giants.
  • But if we say we cannot were saying God
    cannot.
  • He knew it was now or never. No tomorrow!
  • He didnt let his age stop him.
  • Lets have the different spirit of Caleb and
    follow the Lord not half-way but fully!

27
Caleb Give me this mountain
  • For many people conversion itself is a great
    mountain to conquer or to come back.
  • Deny self, take up your cross, follow Christ --
    put Him first! Solid commitment to attend
    services.
  • Before family, pleasure, business (job or
    profession), school, sports.
  • Whatever the challenge GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN!
