Growing In God & Going For God

20190915 GROWING IN GOD & GOING FOR GOD.JPG

Joshua 1:1-9

Big Idea: My courage to go on mission for God grows through my confidence in God

Living courageously on mission for God means:

1. I trust God in my transitions (v. 1-5)

a. I trust God’s training process
b. I trust God’s provision

2. I see obstacles as God’s opportunities (v. 5-6)

4 fears that keep me from living courageously on mission:
a. Feeling overwhelmed
Overcome through my confidence in God’s presence

b. Facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles
Overcome through my confidence in God’s power

c. Facing uncertainty
Overcome through my confidence in God’s promises

d. Fear of man
Overcome through my confidence in God’s faithfulness

3. I step out in faith despite the fear (v. 3-9)
