Joshua 14-17

Give me this hill country

Mike picks up the story from the book of Joshua and challenges us not to slow down, not to rest, but to take hold of all God has promised us and to ask Him for more of what He has available for us. The key passages referenced are

Joshua 14:6-15 - Caleb "Give me this hill country"

Joshua 15:13-17 - Share the load, share the inheritance

Joshua 15:18-19 - Aksah "I will ask my father for more" Psalm 2:8 "Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your heritage"

Joshua 17:3-4 - Zelophehad's daughters "Do not forget us. Give us our inheritance"

Joshua 17:14-17 - People of Joseph "We have the capacity, we're ready to do the work, let us have more to do"

Hebrews 12:1-3 - Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
