Outline of the week – October 14, 2010

Having not passed this way before!

Joshua 3:1-8 – text verse 4

Joshua was about to lead the nation of Israel across the Jordan river and into the Promised land. Several new things were taking place: Joshua was just beginning to lead after 40 years of Moses leadership. They were about to cross a swollen Jordan river. They were about to enter an inhabitted land where they were not going to be nomads, but rather warrior looking to claim the land for their own. Much was changing in their lives.

I. When God gives us His will to do – Do Not Procrastinate – Joshua 3:1 he rose early in the morning.

II. The people were to follow the arc – Always follow God

III. They were to follow those in front at a distance – Don’t follow other people too closely

IV. God wanted to be magnified through them

V. God would remove the obstacles as they came to them.
