| Live By Faith And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 |
| Love Like Christ Jesus said - "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35 |
| Joshua 1:1-9 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea on the west. 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Genesis - The beginning of all things and the beginning of God’s chosen people when he calls Abraham to follow him. Exodus - Abraham’s descendants are enslaved in Egypt and God calls Moses to deliver his people, (The Israelites), from slavery. Leviticus - Instructions for the Israelites on how to live as God’s people. Numbers - Further instructions and the story of God’s people rebelling against him. Deuteronomy - Moses’ final message to the Israelites reminding them of God’s leadership and their responsibilities as his people. Joshua - Moses’ successor, Joshua, leads the people into the Promised Land. Staying On Course 1. God PROMISED to be with Joshua. 2. The promise leads to STRENGTH and COURAGE . 3. The promise carries RESPONSIBILITY . We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. Hebrews 2:1 Fix your thoughts on Jesus Hebrews 3:1 |
