Remembering What God Did For Us

  • Joshua
  • Jon McDugle

As we conclude our Be Strong series we are challenged with a powerful call to commitment from Joshua 24. It’s a moment of decision—a time to declare boldly whom we will serve.

Joshua challenged God’s people to choose that day, and we’re invited to do the same. Come ready for a meaningful time of reflection and renewed devotion as we seek to live out our life mission with a “Joshua kind of faith”.

Discussion Questions:

  1. In verses 1–13, Joshua walks the people back through God’s faithfulness across generations. As you look at that list, what stands out to you about who God is and how He has acted for His people? How does remembering God’s past work prepare them (and us) for renewed commitment?
  2. In verse 14, Joshua tells Israel to “fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness.” Based on the text, what does that kind of service look like? What specific actions does Joshua connect to wholehearted devotion?
  3. Joshua tells the people in verse 23 to “put away the foreign gods” that were still in their lives. Jon reminded us that we often hold on to our own idols even while following the Lord. What are the things in your life that, if God asked you to release them, you’d struggle the most to surrender? Where have you seen those things function as idols - shaping your decisions, your emotions, or your sense of security?
  4. Joshua tells the people to choose whom they will serve, but he’s also honest that they can’t be faithful in their own strength (v. 19). That tension points us forward to Jesus—the One who perfectly kept God’s covenant, cleanses us from our idols, and enables us to serve God wholeheartedly as we look toward our true Promised Land, the place of eternal rest (Heb. 4). How does fixing your eyes on Christ reshape the way you hear and respond to Joshua’s challenge today?
