Joshua: Jesus is our Strength and Courage

Andrew Allison · Listen

Sermon Questions Joshua 1:1-1 1

1. “The Lord said to Joshua”. To this point it was always “The Lord said to Moses.” But now Joshua is the guy. Does God ever speak to you? What does that sound and look like?

2. Joshua was given territory, a lot of it, God gave it to him and the people of Israel. Is there any territory that God has given you? Anything God has entrusted to you?

3. “I will never leave you”. Do you ever feel alone? How do you work your way through that?

4. “Keep the Book of the Law” had clear direction for Joshua. Are you supposed to do the same or something similar? If so, what does “Keeping the Book” mean?

5. Read Matthew 28:16-20. Are there any parallels in this passage to our Joshua 1 passage? How does Joshua point to Jesus and Jesus make sense of Joshua?

Baptism

June 8, 2025
Empowered Baptism is recognized throughout the Church as the beginning of a ‘God thing.’ John’s baptism was a visible demonstration of the start of a new life — clearing out the junk to prepare for what God was about to do. Jesus’ baptism reveals the true heart of baptism: God’s desire to bless and express His delight. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the start of the Kingdom. Ordinary women and men were now filled with the Spirit of Jesus to continue on the ministry Jesus started.

Baptism

Luke 3:21-22 -At Jesus’ baptism, the Father said, “You’re my son. I love you. I’m proud of you.” As Christians, our baptism is a sign that we are in Christ, that what is true about him is true about us, and that the Father’s blessing now defines us.
