Text: Joshua 1:1-9
How many in this room have seen the movie, "The Wizard of Oz?" You've seen "
The Wizard of Oz?" "The Wizard of Oz" is an all-time favorite for many. It's a Hollywood classic from 1939. Most of us know the story of "The Wizard of Oz." You know, Dorothy gets picked up in her house in Kansas and dropped into this strange land with little munchkins and wicked witches. And she wants to go back home. And so Glenda, the good witch, tells her, "Well, you need to follow the yellow brick road. It'll take you to the Wizard of Oz, and he can help you with your problem of needing to get home."

The tin man says, "Well, have you tried counting sheep?" He said, "I can't. I'm afraid of them." He's in trouble. And so, she says, "Well, come to the wizard. He can help you."
Listen! We're in the series from Proverbs 28, verse 1, "The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion." "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and discipline." But here is the sad reality: many of us are like the cowardly lion. We know that we're supposed to be bold as a lion. And when you put your faith and t ...
