This Sunday we will be in Joshua 15, which is actually one of the more difficult passages in the book of Joshua. Among several themes that arise, I think this passage is a great place to lead us to consider the theme of bold leadership. Strong, bold leadership is something that the Church needs, but it is also something we frequently do not encourage (and even sometimes chafe against). I am praying that as we work through this theme, we will be encouraged to develop a culture of strong, godly leadership that will serve the kingdom!

Threats Bigger Than Giants

The Book of Joshua primarily focuses on the story of Joshua, who succeeds Moses in leading the Israelites into the Promised Land after their 40 years of wandering in the desert. Throughout the book, God repeatedly instructs Joshua to "be strong and courageous." His strength comes from God as he conquers the land and establishes the tribes of Israel within it, relying on God's presence and guidance.
