2007-A New Beginning
Intro: The Book of Joshua- Why should anyone today study such an old book that tells stories of war & killing? We are in a spiritual war today. The forces of darkness are trying to destroy us & Japan.
1. The New Leader: God spent many years preparing Joshua to be a leader..
- Joshua the slave- Joshua didn't let his lowly beginnings limit his future
- Joshua the soldier: Joshua didn't run from danger & problems
- Joshua the servant-Joshua spent time hanging out where God & Moses was (Ex33:7-11)
- Joshua the spy- Num.13 Joshua responded to difficulty with positive faith in God.
- Joshua the next leader- Deut.34:9 Joshua received an anointing through laying on of hands & prayer
2. The New Land: God chose the land of Israel to be the "stage" for Jesus on a cross & resurrection.
For us in 2007? The Love of Jesus to Kobe----Kansai----Asia
3. The New life: In the desert God's people kept complaining, kept looking back....In the Promised Land, they looked forward conquering the enemy and claiming their rest and their riches. Are you willing to move on into the promised land and be all God intended for you to be???
