Good Housekeeping by Pastor Larry Paige by Zion Church

Stepping into leadership after a legend is never easy — and Joshua 1 shows us how to do it with good success.

This message explores succession, comparison, and courage through Joshua’s calling to lead after Moses.

You’ll learn how God’s promise, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you,” speaks not just of presence but of active, divine support.

We unpack the “legend syndrome” and how leaders can move forward without being trapped by idealized predecessors.

The teaching highlights three anchors for healthy leadership: God’s support, godly character, and intentional alignment.

Whether you’re leading a team, stepping into a new role, or navigating a transition, this message calls you to cling to God’s Word, build alignment, and take your next faithful step.

Our success rises and falls with our relationship to God’s Word.

Scripture belongs in our mouths, our meditations, and our daily movements — not to correct others, but to shape and guide us.

The Holy Spirit moves when the Word is spoken, which is why the enemy works so hard to snatch, scorch, or crowd it out.

If you’ve felt distracted, pressured, or spiritually dry, this message will help you understand why — and how to respond.

Watch and rediscover how deep roots in God’s Word lead to a stronger, steadier life.

In this message from Joshua 1:8, we learn that success begins by placing God’s Word in our mouth, our meditation, and our lifestyle.

Senior Pastor Keith Battle challenges us to master the spiritual discipline of saying no, reminding us from 1 Corinthians 10:23 that not everything permissible is beneficial or fruitful.

True focus requires courage — especially when God’s favor elevates you into rooms where your presence may not be welcomed — and prosperity means carrying God-given skill, wisdom, and strategy wherever you go.

With practical tools drawn from Nehemiah’s resolve, this teaching shows how to discern distractions, protect your calling, and say no without guilt.

Ultimately, every yes has a cost, and the greatest yes we must protect is our yes to Jesus.

In The Pathway to Success Part 7, Pastor Battle continues teaching about God’s pathway to good success: speak the Word, meditate on it, and live it out.

But before Joshua could move forward, he had to face grief — and so do we.

Pain is part of the journey, but it’s not allowed to stop our purpose. I share how losing my mother taught me that God’s plan doesn’t die with what we lose.

We also confront a major barrier to purpose: neglected health and ignored rest.

God built rest into creation, Jesus practiced it, and Scripture warns against the “anxious toil” of overwork.

Soul-tired people don’t need more grind—they need the Shepherd who restores.

If you’re navigating grief, exhaustion, or pressure to keep pushing, this message will help you step into wisdom, rest, and renewed purpose.

In this sixth part of the Pathway to Success series, we explore how true success often emerges through challenges, transitions, and intentional habits.

Using Joshua’s story as a guide, we learn that moving into a new season requires letting go of the past and trusting God with what feels uncertain or inadequate —because He specializes in multiplying what we offer.

This message also emphasizes the importance of caring for our bodies and honoring God’s rhythm of rest, reminding us that real success isn’t just about working harder but working wisely, living generously, and allowing God to strengthen us through every step of the journey.

True success isn’t a mystery — it’s God’s design.

In this message, we explore Joshua 1:8 and the pathway to “good success,” the kind that is lasting, purposeful, and God-ordained.

Success comes through living out God’s Word, aligning with His commands, and sharpening the unique gift He has placed within you.

From discovering your true calling to developing your skills, every step is about walking in obedience and trusting God’s plan.

As you grow, He elevates you to new levels of impact, and ultimately, the greatest success is found in eternal life through Jesus Christ.

True success begins with the alignment of your thoughts and your words. This message highlights the power of consistent meditation on God’s Word and the declarations we make daily — both to others and to ourselves.

Spiritual strength, like physical strength, requires more than occasional nourishment; it demands daily engagement with Scripture.

When our inner beliefs and outward words are in sync, we walk in stability, clarity, and faith.

Even in seasons of doubt or difficulty, speaking God’s truth — internally and externally— can shift everything.

Discover how renewing your mind and aligning your confession with God’s Word leads to lasting, God-defined success.

There’s something powerful about catching God’s heart.

In this message, Pastor Paige shares a personal story that began back in the sixth grade—with a bully named Boo Boo—and connects it to a life-changing lesson from Matthew 15. Through the story of a persistent woman from Tyre and Sidon, we learn that the biggest battles in life aren’t fought with fists, but with faith, humility, and trust.
