1) Introduction:
a) Welcome and Greeting
b) I want to begin today by telling you a true-but very scary-story that happened many years ago, on a very dark night, in a long ago forgotten graveyard.

ii) Really! It happened like this...
iii) My story of graves, snakes, pumpkins and panic.
c) When is a time YOU remember being really afraid?
d) What happens to us physically when we are afraid?
i) Fight
ii) Flight

c) What exactly do we do now?
i) Joshua 1:1-3 ''After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: 'Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them-to the Israelites.
