Joshua 24
INTRO: Take your Bibles one last time this morning and turn with me to the book of Joshua. Joshua, chapter 24 as we conclude our series of studies through this daring and dynamic book that we've entitled ''Victorious: How To Have A Strong, Courageous Faith.''

Moses brought them out of Egypt.
Joshua brought them into the Promised Land.
That's the recurring theme of this book:
Possessing our possessions.
Being all that God wants us to be.
Grabbing hold of what God has given to us.
Now, for the past number of years, Joshua and the Children of Israel have been conquering their enemies and possessing the land, but there are still enemies to conquer and land to be possessed. They've ...
