FAMILY THEME: COURAGE

BE OF GOOD COURAGE
Joshua 1

God calls Joshua to replace Moses as the leader of Israel.

1.  Courage Relies on God's Promises  (Joshua 1:1-5)
     Christian courage comes from reliance on God's promises

     and His faithfulness.

2.  Courage Is Empowered Through God's Word  (Joshua 1:6-9)
     God did not tell Joshua what he should hope to do;  He told 

     him what he would do.

3.  Courage Is Demonstrated  (Joshua 1:10-18)     

     Whatever misgiving Joshua may have had at first, there was

     no trace of them as he gave the orders to prepare to cross 

     the Jordan.
