#HarborCBR  Joshua starts today! Need encouragement and direction in how to live out God's promises? Read Joshua!

Josh1-Living in God's promises takes strength and courage. It's not easy. He makes us strong and His presence gives us courage. #HarborCBR

Josh2-See the courage and strength of Rahab's faith! She trusts God to side with his people, and put her life at risk to help them. #HarborCBR

Josh3-God goes before us, parting the waters. Entering Canaan thru the river completes leaving Egypt thru the sea in the Exodus. #HarborCBR

Josh3,2-soles of feet, rest, water: flashback to the dove in Gen 8:9. This is why the Holy Spirit appears as a dove at Jesus' baptism. #HarborCBR

Josh4-New life with God's promises begins with remembering God's promises. Today baptism & communion are His universal reminders. #HarborCBR

Josh5-We live in God's promises by renewing our covenant with Him. Passover and Circumcision recall God's past and present blessings. #HarborCBR

Josh6-Incredible things happen when you follow God's word. He does the impossible! All Jericho is judged. Rahab & her house are saved. #HarborCBR

Josh7-We hide our sins, but we can't hide their effect on our community. God & the church don't need perfect people, just honest ones. #HarborCBR

Josh8-dealing w/problems&sin is part of leadership. When it's dealt with, God assures you of His presence and you keep moving forward. #HarborCBR

Josh9-God's actions make people who oppose Him nervous. Deception is a common response. As we interact, ask counsel from God(v14). #HarborCBR

Josh10-God fights for His people. Joshua is now telling others, "Be strong and courageous." He was blessed. Now he is a blessing. #HarborCBR

Josh11-God gives great assurance and great victory to His people. We have God's rest today because of Jesus' victory on the cross. #HarborCBR

Josh12-Rehearses 33 victories that God has given His people. What victories do you have? How is your life different now with God? #HarborCBR

Josh13-The many-victoried Joshua retires his sword. He now divides the land to the Israelites. God will lead the army. v13 is ominous. #HarborCBR

Josh14-Caleb's past faithfulness is honored. May it encourage our faithfulness, and point to Jesus' perfect faithfulness. #HarborCBR

Josh15-Judah's inheritance: 105 cities with their villages. All fantastic until the ominous v63. What went wrong there? #HarborCBR

Josh16-God gives all his people an inheritance. Ominous again is v10: no reason why. Do I have a reason for the sin left in my life? #HarborCBR

Josh17-More Inheriting, including the widowed! (Remember Numbers 27?) God's promises come true even for those that culture ignores. #HarborCBR

Josh17, 2-Ominous pattern continues in v12-13. Chance to ask why our struggles persist in our lives. Do I persist in fighting them? #HarborCBR

Josh18-Joshua calls the people to live in God's promises. We need people to remind us of what we already have (and to get moving). #HarborCBR

Josh19-7 remaining tribes receive their inheritance. Then Joshua, as a good leader, serves himself last. #HarborCBR

Josh20-Cities of refuge mean our motives matter to God, and that God wants barriers in the cycle of revenge. Do motives matter to you? #HarborCBR

Josh21-v45: All God's promises came true, not one word failed! Shows Israel's failure to experience the promises aren't God's fault. #HarborCBR

Josh22-God gives rest when the work is done. Reconciliation is possible in conflict when one side asks, "What did you mean by this?" #HarborCBR

Josh23-God's blessings call us to be faithful to Him. A fitting response to one who has been so faithful to us. #HarborCBR

Josh24-Joshua ends with a covenant renewal ceremony. We need reminders to renew our commitment to God. This is one purpose of Sundays. #HarborCBR
