Introduction: 

-Why the book of Joshua? 

-Imagine you are Joshua- put yourself in his shoes and try to see each moment/story from his perspective 

• Think about what he might be thinking what might be challenging him. 

• Putting ourselves into the story will help us to be impacted by the Scripture.

• Because… 

 Key Idea:  FAITH is what makes me available for God’s plan 

3 Snapshots of Joshua’s life: 

1. Numbers 13,14 (p.124) – Spying the Land – First Attempt 
2. Deut. 31 (p.175) – Commissioning of Joshua 
3. Deut. 34 (p.180) – Death of Moses, the beginning of Joshua leading Israel 

So What? 

1. Faith’s main component is obedience – no matter what! 
2.  God ALWAYS fulfills His promises to His children! 
3.  Courage is the acting despite the presence of fear, not the absence! 
4.  Pray – “God, based on Your Word, what would you have me do?”  Then, do what you hear Him answer.
