Discovering Your Purpose | Rev. Brooke Hartman

Joshua sums up his purpose by saying “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua has been a spy, a patient assistant officer in the wilderness, a conquering commander, and now he will oversee the creation of a nation. In each era of his life, however, his purpose is the same:  to serve the Lord with all he can control. Even after all the ways Joshua has led the Hebrew people, he recognizes he does not have the power to force them to serve the Lord. The only thing Joshua can control is that he and his household serve the Lord.

 

What can you control and what do you need to release to God so that you can live our your life’s purpose?

 

The name “Jesus” is a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Joshua. Just as Joshua led the Hebrew people into the promised land, Jesus leads us into the promised land of abundant and eternal life.

 

How can you follow where Jesus is leading?
