JOURNEY INTO FREEDOM

Joshua 14:6

I want us to turn today to Joshua 14 as we continue our series called "Journey Into Freedom." My what a wonderful time it has been to study the book of Joshua.

Every day when he got up and he faced the day and he faced that wilderness he renewed his commitment to the dream that God had placed in his heart. That man was named Caleb.

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, follow ...
