Sermon from August 30

As For Me and My House...

Joshua 24: 1 - 15

1. This passage is part of Joshua's farewell speech. He wanted his legacy to be "Hold fast to the Lord your God" (verse 23:8). What is your legacy?

2. Joshua knew the people would be tempted to worship the local gods and marry local pagans.

3. God reminded them that he had saved them from slavery and had gone before them in their victories.

4. We may forget to serve God when we begin to believe that we don't need him and can live our lives without him.

5. God doesn't force us to serve him or love him. The choice is ours, but we will face the consequences of our decisions.

6. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
