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.
We will be ending our series in Joshua this coming Sunday. Ending Joshua is a bittersweet endeavor (certainly so for me), but it's also quite thought-provoking as Joshua shows us what it is like to finish well. And whether you are 18 or 88, you should be thinking of finishing well. Our time in this life is so short, and we want to run our race well, and fight the good fight with strength. Joshua's example shows us how we are to go about that: our aim is to faithfully live, in all things, as people who live before the watchful eyes of our mighty Lord. We live to please God—and nothing else rivals this aim. I pray that our time in this series will be a tremendous encouragement: be strong, and very courageous.

A House That Serves the Lord (Part II)
We are in the penultimate section of the book of Joshua, and it is a particularly powerful section of our book. I will miss this book, but I am going to greatly treasure these final two portions we have to walk through before we move on to 1st and 2nd Peter. With July 4th in mind, it is proper and fitting for us to be in prayer for this land in which God has placed us. Not one of us is in this country (or city, or church) by accident—God has a purpose for each of us and has placed us where He chooses (Acts 17:26-27). So, as we pray, we may praise God that He rules over all the nations as the King of Kings (Ps 22:27-28)! It is good for nations to serve the Lord (Ps 33:12), but it is not good for those nations who reject the Lord (Ps 2:1-12). We as the Church are given the tremendous task of discipling all the nations of the world (Matt 28:18-20), but we are also to especially care for those where we have been planted, the people who we are among (Jer 29:7). It is good for us to be a people who consistently pray that our nation (and indeed, every nation) might seek the Lord and worship Him (Rev 15:4).
