Running Ahead of God (5 of 7)

Joshua 9:1-27
Thanks for being with us today for Worship. Let me first thank Jeff Tapp for doing an outstanding job preaching last Sunday. We are blessed with some great leaders and I am thankful for Jeff as he leads our Student Ministry across all of our campuses.
This morning we are going to continue to look at the book of Joshua and consider how the Israelites journey through the Promised Land has a direct correlation to our own personal Journey of Faith. Last week we looked at how sin can deter and corrupt our journey of faith and how easy it is to let the things of this world tempt and lead us away from God. This week we are going to consider how if we are not careful we will miss God's best because we assume or presume to know God's will without waiting on His leadership. Prayer + Time protects us.

But Joshua asked, 'Who are you and where do you come from?' They answered: 'Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have h ...
