Title: I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
Author: Palitha Jayasooriya
Text: Joshua 1:5
Introduction:
Hello friends, it's my joy to be able to share God's word with you today and I want to ask you a question as I begin. Have you ever had someone tell you, "We want to be your good friend. We want to be a true friend to you no matter what comes your way. Even when a challenge comes your way, just know that we will always stand with you. We will always stand behind you?" But in reality, when a crisis hit, such people were nowhere to be found, you couldn't find them anywhere. I think many of us have gone through that situation where people promised us that they would not let us down, but when the crisis came, they were nowhere to be found!
Today's sermon is partly taken from the book of Deuteronomy chapter 31. This was a very pivotal moment in the history of the nation of Israel. The people, after wandering for 40 years in the wilderness, were now preparing to enter what was called the promised land. They were looking forward with much anticipation to what God had promised them. But at that moment, Moses, who had been their leader for 40 years - the Moses they had seen right in front of them every day for 40 years - makes a startling statement. He tells them that he was now 120 years old, he was unable to lead them anymore, and that the Lord had told him that he would not be crossing the Jordan River with them into the promised land.
So you can see that this was a very pivotal and disturbing moment in the history of God's people. But as they were troubled about this, and as they were wondering what was going to happen without their leader guiding them, Moses gave them a wonderful promise of assurance which I will come to in a little while from now.
So today, I want to base my sermon on the topic that:
Proposition: God will never, ever leave you nor forsake you.
Yes, the Lord will never, ever leave you. I want to cover three main thou ...
