Moses is dead. But Joshua has something better than Moses, he has the God of Moses. He promises to be with Joshua as he conquers the land. Just as Israel escaped Egypt through the Red Sea, God stops the Jordan River so Israel can cross into the Promised Land on dry ground. He is the same God from generation to generation.

Humanity seems insignificant on the cosmic scale, but to the Lord we are cherished and prized. God has crowned humanity with glory, honor, and dominion. Even though we led creation into sin and death, the gospel tells us that a perfect man has come to reign over God's world.
John's gospel shows us a different picture of Jesus calling his first disciples. Beginning with John the Baptizer, the Jesus movement takes off as people begin to tell others about Jesus.
Jesus comes as doctor for our souls . He isn't intimidated by our sin, but is drawn to us in love. The story of Matthew reveals to us that Jesus is an expert doctor who turns tax collectors into apostles.
The story of Lazarus teaches us that there is something stronger than death: Jesus, the resurrection and the life. Even when our story seems like it's over, we can hold onto hope. Our God specializes in bringing dead things to life again.
Mark 10 tells the story of a wealthy young man who had obeyed all the commandments. Yet Jesus tells him if he wants to be saved, he still lacks something. He invites him to sell everything and follow him.
The Book of James warns us that belief without action is dead. In today's sermon from Mark 1, Jesus calls the first disciples. Belief in Jesus promotes four actions: leaving, following, joining, and fishing.
In God's upside-down kingdom, emptiness is the key to fullness. And weakness is the path to God's strength. We fast as a way of rejecting the world so that we can encounter God.
