Caleb: Wholeheartedly Following God Exemplified

Sermon by Ted E. Bowling

The apostle Paul reminds us that Scripture was written to teach, strengthen, and give hope. The example of Caleb demonstrates wholehearted faith. Though often overshadowed by Joshua, Caleb stands out as a man with a "different spirit," loyal, courageous, patient, and unwavering in trust. While the other spies saw only danger, Caleb saw God's power and urged Israel to act on His promises. He endured forty years of wandering without complaint, supported Joshua without jealousy, and at eighty-five still trusted God-not himself—to fulfill what had been promised. His life demonstrates that faith is proven in adversity, that age does not limit what God can do, and that genuine obedience flows from a heart that relies on God for strength, timing, and victory. Caleb's example calls for believers to the same wholehearted trust, confident that God is bigger than any giant or mountain before them.
