Everyone who has chosen to follow Jesus please remember a couple of things. God has a specific plan for you to carry out AND His plan for you is never boring bland or predictable. In this message year-end solo teaching we will look at God’s call in Joshua’s life after the passing of Moses. My hope is to motivate us all to seek God’s will for us. See you there!

This was a year-end solo teaching before starting a new series after the New Year. Our text is Joshua 1:1-9. Go ahead and read it through multiple times and as you do listen for the insights God might be speaking to you and any questions you have to share in your small group. One of the things I look for when I read a text is this; What part of my reading is really speaking to me at this time of my life? 

1. This teaching centered around God’s specific plan for me. I think that all followers of Christ would love to know what specific plan, amid all our other plans, God has for us. Some of you may not be able to answer this question...YET. The question: What, so far, have you understood or implemented as God’s specific plan for you? Explain

2. In the first point we found out that there must be a death to release God’s new plan for us. Moses had to die for Joshua to step into this new arena. The question: What have you had to let go of to allow you to pursue God’s plan for you? OR What is that thing you must let go of to pursue God’s plan for you? (And remember it isn’t easy to let something go. Moses had to die)

3. A brought up the fact that when God begins to reveal His plan to you, will you believe it and act on it? Two questions: *What are some reasons that some people find it difficult to believe that God could have something specific for them to do? *Is there something in your history that causes you to think you are either disqualified or not qualified to do what God is telling you? Explain (And by the way what does this question teach you about your view of God and how you view yourself? Explain that one)

4. Read Joshua 1:9. Now read it again slowly. What three parts of a person is the Word of God supposed to affect? And why is this so important?

5. In verses 6,7, and 9 we find three times Joshua is told to “be courageous and strong.” What does this teach us about the human condition and the will of God? 

6. Double Bonus Jeopardy question: In Exodus 2:11-15 at age 40 Moses is all gung-ho to carry out God’s specific plan. Now read Exodus 3:10-11. At age 80 Moses lost his passion for God’s specific plan for him. Explained to me WHY Mo has lost his zeal to carry out God’s will and can you relate? Explain
