What we find before Joshua goes to battle is that He and Jesus will spend a very important time together. What we learn from this is Jesus wants us to spend time time with Him, not distracted, not busy, but with Him to hear His heart for us.

In Joshua chapters 3-4, we see Joshua learning from the mistakes that he saw with Israel and the Red Sea. Joshua is going to lead the Israelites to lay down spiritual markers to teach the following generations of who God is and His promises being fulfilled

Finishing up Joshua chapter 3 we see how Joshua surrenders to God’s leadership and Lordship. By doing this God shows the blessing of living a life surrendered to Him.

Joshua is going to learn from the mistakes of Moses and is going to show the people of Israel that God is their leader. We can apply this to our lives by showing how meditating on God’s Word is that for us today.

Rahab, a Gentile, declares that God is the only God. She also teaches us the importance of patiently waiting for God to move and trusting in God when you can’t see Him working.

Rahab is the most unlikely person we see in Scripture to follow God. But Rahab got in awe of God and what He was doing and that’s what changed her. Are you in awe of God today?

Because Joshua was meditating on the Word, he had confidence in the promises of God. God wants us to be in His Word so we can trust Him more.

There are so many things we can learn from Joshua and how God prepared Him, equipped him, and used him. This session looks at how God wants us available and to let Him do the work in and through us.

In 1st Samuel 15 we see how King Saul viewed obedience to God’s command. He took upon himself to change God’s command and do his own thing. The problem is he actually thought that he was being obedient.

Our Christian culture today is struggling because our hearts are unplowed and the Word doesn’t penetrate and affect us as it should. So what do we do about it?
