Deuteronomy 8:7
We are starting a new series today on the book of Joshua. Joshua is the 6th book of the Old Testament. It was written 1400 years before Jesus came to earth and it begins with the commissioning of Joshua by God Himself to bring the Israelites into the Promised Land after the death of Moses.

We are coming into our inheritance. We are about to reap a mighty harvest, exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever have imagine:
2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ''Yes'' in Christ. And so through him the ''Amen'' is spoken by us to the glory of God. (NIV)
EVERY promise God has for us is IN Christ! Christ is constant he never changes! As we abide IN him and he abides IN us then every promise God has made will be fulfilled yes and IN Him Amen which ...
