In this final talk on Moses, we look at how Moses passes leadership on to

his successor Joshua. We, like Moses, are called to do all we can to help

the next generation of leaders emerge, and to do all we can to help them

succeed. And, like Joshua, we’re called to develop both our gifts and

character so that we can best step up into leadership when the opportunity

and God’s call come. The challenge for all of us is like Moses - to find

younger leaders we can invest in; and like Joshua - be the sort of person

more mature leaders want to develop. The kingdom of God is, fundamentally a

kingdom of people. So when our attitude is, ‘How can I best develop my

gifts to serve others, whilst working to help others thrive so they can

best serve too?’ God’s kingdom grows.
