the harvest
The harvest is great in today's world, is it not?
At one time just inside Springfield there were 300 "churches" now that's all faiths.
But even in Springfield the harvest is great and churches and families are under attack today.
So we truly need courageous men today for the harvest.
Today I want to look at one of the courageous men of the bible and his calling by God to lead his people.
Now you may say I'm just a nobody or just laymen in church and I came because they said free breakfast.
But I mean to say if you are A father or a husband you are called by God to be the spiritual leader of your home.
If you are a Christian you are called to spread the gospel as Jesus gave us the great commission.
In verse one God says Moses is dead now rise up!
John said last time he preached that he believed that hillside baptist church could be the catalyst for revival in the Ozarks and America.
Do you believe?
Well God is saying it is our time as men of HBC to rise up and stand!
The Ozarks need courageous men to tell them about Jesus!
Why did God choose Joshua.
1.
He was a proven man
In exodus he was called upon a few times to fight.
Why he was chosen because he was standing a bad fighting for God!
Remember the 12 spies in the land of Canaan and the 10 were bad and two were good who were the two?
So many today are saying you can't witness today, he can't go door-knocking today doesn't work it's just too hard.
I'm just to tried or I can't speak in front of people.
Or maybe even in to old.
I remember the old Tommy stone song "excuses excuses you hear them every day when people come to know the Lord the devil always loses so he offers them excuses."
How BIG is your God?
If you have a if God you have little problems.
If you have a little God you have big problems?
Joshua had a big God he knew they would bring them into the land
2.
He was a servant verse 1
Moses can I get you some water?
Can I help us set up the tent?
Joshua stood at the foot of the mountain for 40 days.
3.
He was willing to stand and fight.
When Joshua fought the giants.
1. God will provide v3-4
He will provide the land.
Or the harvest.
If you study forward and Joshua you'll see that the Israelites never claimed all of the promised land.
Men of HBC let's not be like these men and never clam all that God has given us to claim for Jesus Christ.
Let's not be satisfied with just a little bit or just an average of 300 members.
He will provide his protection v5
He will provide his presence v5 God says he will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
He his a friend that's closer than a brother.
2. What it takes to be a courageous man.
It's great how God has called us and great that he provides but we must make the decision.
1.
We must have courageous faith.
V6
After heeling many people he said thy faith hath made thee whole.
Faith as a Mustard-seed.
2. Be in Gods word and Observe to do v7-8
3. Will we pray and keep praying.
Without ceasing.
When Joshua and Israel went to God first they won the battles.
