In this sermon, Pastor Aaron Land explores Joshua 23, where Joshua offers his final instructions to Israel. He reminds us that true obedience is not found in our own strength, but is rooted in a deep remembrance of God's covenant love.

Listeners are challenged to examine the idols competing for their hearts and encouraged to cling to Christ, whose finished work secures our standing before a holy God.

Key Points

• Reminder: Remember what God has done.
• Exhortation: Be faithful.
• Exhortation: Cling to the Lord your God.
• Exhortation: Be careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God.

Reflect & Discuss
