The Way of All The Earth

Passion City Church • Apr 26, 2026 • 41 min

Start a Devotional

Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

A simple profession of faith is only the doorway into fully possessing the rich spiritual inheritance God has provided in Christ. Because human life on earth is brief and we are all going 'the way of all the earth,' we are called to take full responsibility for our choices, sever ties with dark compromises, and actively walk out God's promises. No matter where you start or how long a promise takes to unfold, God's word never fails, and He empowers us to finish our journey well.

Themes

Profession vs. Possession of FaithSpiritual Responsibility and GrowthEmbracing Mortality and LegacyBreaking Generational CompromiseGod's Unfailing Faithfulness

Pastor's Points

1.

Possessing the promised land is a process.

2.

Possessing the promised land is a partnership.

3.

To possess fully our land, we have to consider that we're going the way of all the earth.

4.

Stake our life on the belief that all of God's promises to us are going to come to pass.

Key Points

1.
Possessing the promised land is a process: there is a vital difference between a initial profession of faith and actively possessing the fullness of life in Christ.
2.
Possessing the promised land is a partnership: God has provided everything needed for life and godliness, but believers must take active responsibility to obey and possess it.
3.
To fully inherit God's promises, believers must sever ties with dark alliances, secret compromises, and negative generational patterns.
4.
To possess fully our land, we must soberly consider that every human being is going "the way of all the earth."
5.
It is not where or how you start your life—like Joshua starting in Egyptian slavery—it is how you finish well in God's promises.
6.
God's promises are unwavering and sure, even when their full fulfillment spans centuries across generations.
7.
The burial of Joseph's bones in the Promised Land hundreds of years after his death serves as enduring proof that God fulfills every word He speaks.

Sermon Moments

“The vital distinction between a profession of faith as the doorway and actively possessing the inheritance we have in Christ.”

“The metaphor of a mouse in a glue trap illustrating that all living creatures eventually go 'the way of all the earth.'”

“Pastor Louie holding a box containing a man's ashes, realizing the sobering weight and reality of human mortality.”

“Joshua's life trajectory, moving from 40 years of Egyptian slavery and 40 years in the wilderness to standing victorious and peaceful at age 110.”

“The historic journey of Joseph's bones carried through the Red Sea, across the desert, over the Jordan, and finally buried in the Promised Land centuries later.”

This Week

Evaluate where you are merely professing faith versus actively possessing and living out God's promises in your daily routine.

Identify and surrender any subtle compromises, dark alliances, or ungodly practices you have tolerated in your life.

Break generational ties to ungodly family patterns like anger, bitterness, or gossip by standing firmly in Christ's freedom.

Actively build upon your faith this week by practicing moral virtue, self-control, godliness, and love.

Reflect soberly on your mortality ("going the way of all the earth") to gain wisdom and clarify the spiritual legacy you want to leave behind.

Refuse to define your future by past enslavements or wilderness seasons, focusing instead on finishing strong in God's calling.

Anchor your heart in God's proven track record of faithfulness whenever you are tempted to doubt His long-term promises.

Remember This

Faith in Christ is meant to be actively possessed through intentional partnership with God, breaking past compromises and trusting that every single promise He made will come to pass.

A Challenge for You

So today we want to break all the curses, and we want to receive all the promises. So I just ask again: What less have you learned to live with? What lie have you given a seat at your table? What family trait did you just sort of capitulate to at some point in time? Who do you want to be, and what legacy do you want to live?

These are personal sermon notes shared to help you remember the message — not a replacement for Scripture, your church, or your pastors.
