JOURNEY INTO FREEDOM

Joshua 9:2-21
March 10, 2002
Well, it's wonderful to see you today. We're going to continue our series today on "Journey Into Freedom". The story of Joshua and Israel is the story of the victorious life. It teaches us how to live in the real world. In the real world there are battles to be fought. There are dangers on every hand. There are unexpected enemies that pop up here and there.

You be dressed and ready for exercise at 7:00 in the morning." He said, "No plan works." The pastor said, "Just do what I say. This will work." Because the pastor had stressed it so heavily - "Be ready at 7:00 in the morning." that he was ready. And the doorbell rang. He went to the door and there was a gorgeous young woman in an exercise suit. She said to him, "The pastor said to tell you that you can marry me if you can catch me." She took off lickety split. Well, he ran and ran and ran. He couldn't catch her but he w ...
