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?

John 14:1-14 -John’s biography of Jesus slows as he chronicles the week leading up to Jesus’ death. Jesus has a long, careful conversation with the disciples, and today, we listen to the beginning of that conversation. He begins with a strong command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He then reinforces it with three unshakable assurances: He is going ahead of them, He has cleared the way to the Father, and He will send supernatural power so they can continue His work.

The Story | Who's Your Father?

John 8:48-59 -Jesus’ friend John was very careful to record the things that Jesus said about Himself. As an observant Jew, John knew that there is only one God. From time to time, God sent prophets, ordained priests, and crowned kings so that the people of God had someone to lead them to Him. Everyone knew that these leaders only ever pointed to God; they never claimed any status beyond being messengers. But when Jesus came, He was different. He claimed to be “the Light of the World,” “the Truth that sets you free,” and “the Resurrection and the Life”—all of them ridiculous claims for anyone but God to make. That was exactly His point.

John 4:4-26 - Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God had arrived and everyone wondered what that would look like. Would it mean swords and fighting or a political takeover?
