Joshua 1
INTRO: Take your copy of God's Word this morning and be finding your place at the Old Testament book of Joshua. Today we are beginning a study through this exciting, challenging, inspiring book that I have entitled, ''Victorious.''

So, he saved his money, bought a ticket, boarded the ship and the ship set sail. On about the 4th day of his 5 day cruise he ran into another friend on the same ship who asked him how he was enjoying all of the lobster and prime rib and shrimp and cheesecakes. He said, ''I haven't eaten any of those things. I've just been eating crackers and Vienna sausages in my room.'' ''Why would you do that?'' ''Well, the ticket was so expensive to begin with that I've been trying to save money.'' ''Didn't you know, when you bought that ticket, everything else was included?''
''After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying: 2 Moses my servant is dead...'' (Joshua 1:1-2a)
