Series: YOLO... YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
Sermon: God's Promise
Scripture: Joshua 1:1-6

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you allow the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

INTRODUCTION: Your purpose is anchored in God's promise! Russell Carter wrote a hymn called 'Standing on the Promises'. One verse in the hymn says, "Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God." Paul said, "having done all to stand... stand therefore. Sometimes the difficulties of life and bouts with doubt make it hard to move forward, that's when you just stand on the promises of God until God begins to move supernaturally and breathes a fresh wind of his Spirit into the sails of your soul.

The Difference BETWEEN GRIEF AND MOURNING:

Grief is the internal meaning given to the experience of loss. Mourning is when you take the grief you have on the inside and express it outside yourself. Another way of defining mourning is “grief gone public” or “the outward expression of grief.”
