CROSSOVER?

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS

Text: JOSHUA 1:9

“Have I not commanded you? Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS. Do not be terrified; do not be
discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

INTRODUCTIONS

Have you ever been crossed a river? Is it easy or difficult?

Life is full of rivers that we can’t overcome. Yet God has given us a command to be strong and
courageous because He knows that we can do it for the glory of His name.

We need to leave things for us to see what God has planned for us in the future.

Nobody wants to be stuck in our old self.

who can be against us.
