Vision Sunday - March 1
Our new mission together.... Transformed by God to bring hope to others through Christ.
Background of today’s Scripture -Joshua is leading the nation of Israel into the Promised Land -This text is a moment sandwiched between these two great miracles -Joshua 3-4 is the account of the parting of the Jordan River -Joshua 5 is the account of victory over Jericho -This is a pivotal moment in Joshua’s life and for the nation of Israel
Joshua 5:13-15 God is telling Joshua: “I haven’t come to be a part of your story, I have come to discover if you want to play a role in my story”
While this was true in Joshua’s life, it is true for us today -You and I have been invited to play a role in His story -It’s not about who is for me, it’s about who I am for -“Leaving my mark is too small a thing to spend my life on” Andy Stanley -Ultimately, if life is simply about what can I do, inviting God to bless what I’m doing, then it’s just not worth it
Bottom Line: God will do whatever He wants through an obedient church.
Joshua 24:14-15 NIV
At the end of his life Joshua recognizes an incredible crossroads for the nation of Israel -“Choose today who you will serve” -“Will you ask God to bless what you do? Or will you choose to join God at work?”
The invitation to step out in obedience: 1. Go 2. Give 3. Serve
