Is There Any Area of Your Life Where You Need to Be Strong and Courageous? |Check Out My Bible Studies on Joshua
Are you struggling to have courageous faith in a world of adversity and unbelievers? If so, then the Book of Joshua is calling your name? God calls Joshua to be strong, and then He equips him to fulfill his mission. Joshua makes a similar call to the Israelites as he calls them to serve the Lord and forsake foreign gods. If you want to see God do the impossible to help his people, then keep reading!
Summary of my Discipleship Curriculum
Joshua is the fourth book included as part of my FREE discipleship curriculum. The collective studies provide an overview of the Bible tying Old Testament stories to New Testament concepts. It is perfect for the seeker and new believer. However, the studies go deep enough even for a seasoned Bible reader as I’ve included a lot of great nuggets that I’ve learned over the years! They can be used one-on-one or in small groups.
You can jump in at any time, but if you want to start at the beginning check on my Genesis and Exodus studies. If you want fun topical studies, check out my study on the Passover and the Tabernacle. If you are a seeker or new Christian, I would definitely recommend starting in Genesis.
Homework (optional)
The homework portions are NOT required. They were written as a supplement for an enthusiastic student I had. They focus on memorization, but you don’t have to memorize the passage. Instead you could just mediate on the passage and complete the reflection questions. This will help you stay in the Word all week long!
