Be Strong and Courageous | One Word for the Next 10 Years

Описание: If I could go back and talk to my 2016 self, there’s a lot I would say. But since I can’t, I’m choosing to speak
to—and prepare—the version of me that’s headed toward 2036.
In this message, Be Strong and Courageous, we reflect on the weight of a single word for the next decade.
Drawing from Numbers 13–14 and Joshua 1:1–5, this sermon explores what it means to lead, trust, and
obey God when you’re carrying the wilderness inside you while stepping into a future you’ve never seen.
Joshua inherits a people shaped by rebellion, fear, and survival. He’s called to possess land he’s never
walked, lead a generation formed by the wilderness, and do it without relying solely on competence,
strength, or strategy. God’s command to Joshua—spoken three times—is not about hype or bravado. It’s
about presence, obedience, and an inward life anchored in the Word.
This message is personal. It’s about leadership, longevity, and learning that courage is rooted not in
confidence, but in the presence of God.
Key themes in this message: - What it means to inherit and possess what God promised - Why strength
alone is never enough - The danger of leading outwardly without an inward life - How God’s presence
shapes courage - Why Scripture sustains us for the long road ahead
If you’re thinking about who you need to become for the next season of your life—this message is for you.
