Joshua- The Power, Promise and Presence of God.
Who doesn’t want to win?
Do stats matter?
Not unless it is your win/lose stats.
Nobody likes to be a loser.
That doesn’t mean you can’t accept defeat, if necessary.
But we all want to succeed.
We all want to win.
We all want to reach our goals.
We all want to prosper.
The following article posted on the NFL Pro-Football Hall of Fame Website illustrates the importance of the win.
The New England Patriots achieved extraordinary success to start the 21st century as the franchise captured three Super Bowl championships in a four-season span.
��QB Tom Brady was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 2007 after throwing a NFL record 50 touchdowns.
WR Randy Moss was on the receiving end of 23 of those passes to eclipse the record previously held by Jerry Rice.
It all began in the 2001 season when the Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
After failing to reach the playoffs in 2002, the club rebounded with back-to-back 14-2 regular seasons capped by victories in Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX respectively.
The Patriots continued its run of AFC Eastern Division titles in 2005 and 2006.
Then, in 2007, the club left a memorable and historic imprint on the game.
The Patriots did the improbable by going unbeaten through the regular season.
It marked the first time since the NFL expanded the regular season to 16 games that a team went undefeated.
The Patriots added postseason victories over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional playoff round and a 21-12 win over the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship Game to run the streak to an amazing 18-0.
In doing so, the Patriots became the first team ever to go 18-0 in a season.
The New York Giants spoiled New England’s place in history with a narrow win in Super Bowl XLII.
Despite the loss, the Patriots joined an elite group of teams that have posted undefeated regular season records.
The Chicago Bears accomplished the feat in 1934 and 1942 but both seasons the “Monsters of the Midway” lost in the NFL’s title game.
The 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only NFL team ever to go unbeaten in the regular season and postseason when the club finished 17-0 that year.
A footnote to history is the accomplishment of the 1948 Cleveland Browns.
The squad went 15-0 to win its third of four championships in the rival All-America Football Conference (AAFC).
While the records of the defunct league are not recognized in the NFL record book, the Browns certainly merit mention when describing the game’s unbeaten teams.
You’re Up! Arise and Go!
Inherit the Land- Accept God’s gift
The Way to Be a Winner!
Strong & Courageous- unbending, firm, secure, uncompromising, it is the opposite of flimsy, opposite of wavering.
The Big Win = God, through Christ our Royal High Priest has paved the way for the BIG WIN!
discusses in detail the comparison of the Israelites not entering God’s rest because of their hard hearts vs. our opportunity to enter God’s rest based upon Christ’s work on the cross for us.
Those who have placed their faith in Christ as having paid the price of their sins, have been justified (just as if they had never sinned) in God’s economy.
Those who have placed their faith in Christ as having paid the price of their sins, have been justified (just as if they had never sinned) in God’s economy.
Now we have the opportunity to continue in a progression of becoming more like Christ.
We have been made alive, and are now able to walk in God’s way.
To live lives that are set apart and pleasing in His sight.
Therefore, our chief end, what it take for us to be winners, as Joshua is referring to is to glorify God by enjoying Him. . . to emulate Him by living according to His law.
God set the Israelites apart as His chosen people so other nations could see His glory.
We too, as His children have been set apart to bring glory to Him.
So how do we do that?
God tells Joshua and the Israelites very clearly and repeatedly how that happens.
Be careful to do everything that is written in the Book of the Law that Moses has given you.
1Tim 4:1-11
1 Tim 4:God has told Joshua, I am going to be with you, be careful to listen to my commands as you go in to take the land I have given you.
Don’t depart from my ways, and you will have success.
God told Joshua, I am going to be with you, be careful to listen to my commands as you go in to take the land I have given you.
Don’t depart from my ways, and you will have success.
In the Gospels we are told that Christ summed up the Law this way, “To love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. . .
love your neighbor as yourself.”
We win when we obey His Word
His Word gives us a solid foundation, a consistent standard, an unmoveable basis for our lives to be built upon.
His Word gives us a solid foundation, a consistent standard, an unmoveable basis for our lives to be built upon.
Unlike the woman shown in the news recently who was screaming, “Go home!
Go away!
Leave us alone!
We accept everyone in this neighborhood, we care about everyone. . .
You’re not welcome here!
This is our neighborhood, you don’t belong here!
We welcome everyone here.”
Literal, Historical, Grammatical Interpretation of the Scriptures!
Literary type, genre, context and content need to be critically evaluated to come to a proper understanding of the Word of God.
39 writers over thousands of years have compiled the Scriptures under the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
God has preserved His Word, throughout all the years of translation.
1 Pe 1:24
If you want to succeed. . .
I you want to prosper. . .
If you want to know the way to win. . .
then you need to listen to these three verses
Joshua 1:8-9
We have the Word, will we stay true to what it says or trust in our own wisdom?
In order to win, we have to stick to God’s Word.
In order to stick to it, you have to be in it!
Day and Night
Define the win- Receive the best God has.
This isn’t about earning salvation, we receive that by God’s grace through Christ
We have the victory in Jesus Christ but we are also blessed in other ways when we obey the Word of God.
His precepts are for our good and for His glory .
Beginning in verse 10 we will see Joshua’s reaction to God’s discourse in verses 1-9.
Next week we will look at the response.
