Joshua 24:14-28
1. Good morning! Happy Father’s Day! We are so thankful you are here this morning. Turn with me to the book of Joshua 24:14.

I gave you a land on which you had not labored
[I gave you] cities that you had not built
[I gave you] cities that you dwell in
[I gave you] the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards [that you eat but did not plant].
5. Joshua is reminding the Israelites who God is and who they are. How God is the one initiating, guiding, leading, and moving for them, for their sake. It is now ...
