Lesson Guide, Introduction: "Shechem was the place where Abraham had built an altar upon his arrival in the land, and where God first gave him the promise of the land (Gen. 12:7). Now, when the promises given to Abraham have been fulfilled, Israel renews the covenant with God at the very place where the first promise had first been given…. "Israel's existence as a nation is not the merit of any of its ancestors but the exclusive work of God's grace. The fact that the Israelites are settled in the land is not a ground for boasting but the very reason ...

As Joshua's life and leadership come to a close, he draws a line in the sand and calls Israel to make a decision: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” In this message, Pastor Derek unpacks Joshua 24 and challenges us to examine what (or who) truly sits on the throne of our hearts. From the faithfulness of God through generations to the idols that quietly capture our devotion, this final chapter in Joshua reminds us that every heart serves a master, and only one can truly satisfy.
About This Series"Strong & Courageous" is a four-week journey through the life of Joshua, an ordinary man who followed an extraordinary God with bold, unwavering faith. From the moment he stood against the crowd to the day he challenged a nation to choose who they would serve, Joshua's life shows us what it looks like to trust God, obey boldly, and lead with courage even when the path ahead is uncertain. In a world full of fear, noise, and pressure to conform, this series will challenge you to step up, step out, and follow Jesus with conviction, purpose, and strength for whatever lies ahead.This Week's EpisodeAt the end of his life, Joshua stands before the people and calls them to renew their commitment: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” In a world full of options, distractions, and deconstruction, followers of Jesus need to have the same commitment to daily declare Whom they will serve.Ready For More?Check out firstchristian.com to find opportunities to connect and grow.We'd love to see you this coming Sunday on-campus or streaming online at 9 and 11am.Follow @fcccanton on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay connected!Support the show
Joshua reminds Israel in this text that they have been the recipients of centuries of God's faithfulness and rescue. Yet he knows how prone they are to forgetting what God has done for them. If they forget, they will slide into serving the idols of the surrounding culture. And so will we. We must make a decisive determination regarding whom we will live for, whom we will serve.Sermon Outline:I. A History LessonII. A Decisive ChoiceIII. A Renewed CovenantSermon Discussion Questions:1. Joshua reminded Israel of God's gracious acts in their history before calling them to renewed commitment. What specific acts of God's faithfulness in your own life or family come to mind, and how does remembering these strengthen your loyalty to Him?2. What “default idols” are most tempting in your own life or in our culture (money, beauty, approval, success, etc.)? What does it practically look like to put away these false gods in your daily life?3. For those with children at home: how are you intentionally leading your household to serve the Lord? For everyone: what specific practices or rhythms have you established (or want to establish) to pass your faith on to the next generation? Where might God be calling you to take greater initiative?4. How does Jesus' call to take up our cross daily sharpen our understanding of what true commitment looks like? How does this differ from the way Christianity is sometimes presented?

Joshua 24 describes the final public act of Joshua, Israel's leader after Moses. He calls all the tribes of Israel to gather at Shechem, a place with deep spiritual significance in Israel's history. There, he delivers a farewell address and renews the covenant between God and His people. First, Joshua reminds them of everything God has done for them — starting from Abraham's calling, to the deliverance from Egypt, to victories over powerful nations in Canaan. He emphasizes that it was God, not their own strength, that gave them the land, cities, and crops they now enjoy. Joshua then challenges the people to make a decision: serve the LORD wholeheartedly or follow the gods of other nations. He makes his personal stand clear with the famous declaration, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” The people respond by affirming their loyalty to God, acknowledging His deliverance and blessings. Joshua warns them that serving God is a serious covenant and that turning away would bring consequences. They insist they will remain faithful, and he instructs them to destroy any remaining idols and devote themselves to God. Joshua formalizes this commitment by recording their agreement in the Book of the Law of God and setting up a large stone as a physical witness to their vow. After this covenant renewal, the chapter closes with the account of Joshua's death at 110 years old, the burial of Joseph's bones in Shechem (fulfilling a centuries-old promise), and the death of Eleazar the priest. The people of Israel continue to serve the LORD throughout Joshua's life and during the lifetime of the elders who knew him. #Joshua24 #AsForMeAndMyHouse #ServeTheLord #BibleChapterSummary #OldTestament #BibleStudy #CovenantRenewal #FaithfulnessOfGod #ChooseWhomYouWillServe #ScriptureStudy #BibleExplained #BibleTeaching #JoshuaInTheBible #BibleHistory #Shechem #BibleLessonsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15From the series: The Story of God.(bulletin here)
In today's episode, we look one more time at Galatians 4 where Paul asked them if they now considered him an enemy because he told them the truth about their rebellion and falling away from Pauls message. We also look at a passage from Isaiah 1 where God was basically telling Israel that He had enough of their burnt offerings and empty service. He challenged them to make a choice, a choice we must make as well.
Dr. Tom Davis preaches from Joshua 24.
Unlike other elections in our nation's history, it appears that this election has placed our nation, we the people, and those who purport to be followers of Christ at a critical intersection. Will we heed the warning of the Bible echoed by our forefathers regarding what happens to a nation that rejects God, to those that reject Him personally, and those that follow Him tepidly? Both Moses and Joshua at critical intersections warned the people of Israel as well to choose between life and prosperity or death and destruction with these words, "choose this day whom you shall serve."Note: Soundtrack: Epic Adventure Cinematic | Epic Shield by Alex-Productions |Sources: Barna Group, First Liberty, Arizona Christian UniversityGot Questions, Christian Heritage, Teachings of Jack Hibbs, Cavalry Chapel, Chino Hills.Rules of Civility George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Rush, Ben Franklin, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Carroll of Carrollton Other misc. sources.

Clay Sheffield's life is a miracle. Perhaps because of the faith of his three older siblings, the nearly 2-year-old little boy with a million dollar smile is still alive more than a year longer than doctors ever expected. Still, Clay's life doesn't look quite the way his family anticipated or hoped. Instead, the Sheffields are learning that sometimes the miracle is in the gift of ordinary days and in knowing that where covenants are made and kept, stories always end in happily ever after. 1:58- Clay's Emergency Delivery 8:49- Then To Now 16:09- Redefining the Miracle 19:29- The Power of “And” 22:20- The Faith of Children 29:14- Choose This Day 31:29- Covenants 33:18- Making Intentional Memories 39:45- Ordinary Days 44:43- Being Pruned 47:54- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “I already know the ending of this story and this story is pretty great.

The readings today call us: Choose this day whom you will serve? This choice cannot be ala carte - picking and choosing what we want and rejecting what we don't want. Because everything Scripture teaches connects back to Jesus. It is personal. We are choosing or rejecting him. This is important when we look at many of the “issues” of our day around the topics of gender, marriage, and sexuality. They are not isolated issues. They are personal because they are all connected to him. As Pauls writes: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5:31–32)We must choose whom we will serve and love. Marriage and sexuality image God and his relationship with us.
