Everyone worships something. The question isn’t if you worship — the question is what or who you worship. Joshua 24 takes us to a dramatic moment in Israel’s history, where Joshua gathers millions of people at Shechem, stands before them as an old man, and declares a truth that echoes through the centuries: “Choose this day whom you will serve … but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” This isn’t just ancient history — it’s our reality. In this message we unpack: • The truth about worship: It’s not just singing — it’s where your loyalty, trust, and sacrifice really go. Everyone has a god, whether it’s money, success, pleasure, image, or the Lord Himself.
• The idols that eat us alive: From Mesopotamian gods to today’s cultural gods of sex, money, and power, false worship always takes more than it gives. You become like what you worship — and if your “god” is destructive, you will be too.
• The unmatched faithfulness of God: Joshua reminds Israel — and us — of how God rescues, provides, and blesses. He gave Israel land they didn’t build and cities they didn’t deserve. He’s done the same for us: rescuing us from sin, answering prayers, and providing in ways we couldn’t imagine.
• The weight of choice: God is holy and jealous. He demands exclusive devotion — not half-hearted, cultural Christianity. Joshua warns the people that they cannot serve the Lord unless they’re all in. This is not a casual decision — it’s the most important decision of life. If you’ve ever wrestled with divided loyalties, felt the pull of the world’s gods, or struggled to go “all in” with God, this message will confront you, encourage you, and challenge you to make the most important decision of your life — today.
