Winning In Life
Claude Thomas
Joshua 1:1-11
Introduction: This Sunday captures the attention of the nation. Seventy-five million people will gather around TVs this afternoon to watch the Superbowl. It is the sporting event of the year. Crimes decrease and cars stop running during this time. The cost of a commercial is $900,000 for 30 seconds. $50 million will be grossed and $4.5 billion will be wagered.
Think of the process that the teams went through to get there: summer camp, pre-season, season, play-offs, now the Superbowl The question is now who and what will it take to win?
Transition Statement: The pressing question for us is this: how do I win in the Superbowl of Life? Can I succeed? Joshua has a formula for winning!
I. Affirm You Have a Purpose - vv. 1-2, 10-11
Transition Statement: Some seem to be wandering aimlessly through life.

Transition Statement: He was missing it! Living from one meal to another will not make you a winner in the Superbowl of life
Transition Statement: To win in life, start with the purpose of God. That made Joshua successful.

Moses died. The people mourned his death. After 30 days, the Lord spoke to Joshua; He told him his purpose was to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land!
