Equipped

Joshua 1:1-9

Joshua needed two things from God:

COURAGE & DIRECTION

Our mission as God’s people:

- To REPRESENT GOD in our world

- To LEAD OTHERS to Jesus

- To FULLY FOLLOW Jesus together

W.A.T.C.H. what God’s Word gives us:

- WISDOM

- AUTHORITY

- TRUTH

- COUNSEL

- HOPE

Got some uncertainty in your life?

God intends for His people to live courageous lives that honor His name, to be people who speak the truth in love, and are willing to take risks in God's name and for the good of others.

“What price are we willing to pay to do the right thing?”

“To love unreservedly – which is God’s call to us – is to risk everything, our lives and our reputations.”

“Letter to the American Church”,

Eric Metaxas, p107,110.

Next Steps:

- Bring my specific uncertainty & fear to God. Perhaps with the help of a friend, search God’s Word for direction and courage.

- There is something I already know God wants me to do, I just need the courage to do it.

- Commit to God that I will spend time in God’s Word every day, because God has so much to offer me in it: Wisdom, Authority, Truth, Counsel, & Hope.
