Amazing community
Which generation were you baptized in? Unloving? Dysfunctional? Transitional? Zealous?
The Joshua generation. 40 years of wilderness. They see their parents worshiping idols. They were a nation of complainers. They made a lot of mistakes and had a lot of challenges to overcome. They became a people of great faith, purpose, and accomplishment.
In Joshua's generation they had a lot of reasons to continue to be disobedient and dysfunctional. How did they break that cycle?
How to create the community that God intended? You have to focus on being a Spiritual community, Mission minded community, Transforming community!
Joshua 1:2;3:1-5; 1:6-8; 3:11-13
No one has ever met God in the bible and not either changed or rejected him! If we are meeting God daily then there should be growth!
Joshua 1 -- Gods is in control
2 -- delights in uses the weak
3 -- honors faith
4 -- sets us apart to be holy
5 -- intervenes
6 -- overcomes obstacles
7 -- hates sin
8 -- turns defeat into victory
9 -- nothing is impossible
Exodus 23:30; Deuteronomy 9:3 -- God does things sometime quickly and sometime God works over time. God is more interested in shaping us into who we need to be rather than just solving a problem. God could solve anything with a thought. He chose sometimes to allow us to go through things for our benefit!
Joshua 1:12-16;22:1-4 -- mission minded community!
Philippians 2:19-30
