Walking by Faith
- Joshua 1:1-11
- Jon McDugle
God calls us to live with a “Joshua kind of faith”—bold, confident, and ready to step into the life mission He’s prepared for us. Here is the start of this powerful series as we learn how to be equipped, strengthened, and ready to move forward in faith!
Discussion Questions:
- In verses 1–5, what do you notice about how God reassures Joshua after Moses’ death? What does this teach us about God’s faithfulness to continue His work?
- God repeats the command “be strong and courageous” several times in this passage (vv. 6, 7, 9). What situations is Joshua facing that make that command so necessary? What do we learn from this about the kind of courage God calls His people to?
- Verses 7–8 emphasize obeying God’s Word as central to Joshua’s success. What stands out to you about the relationship between strength, courage, and obedience here? How does meditation on God’s Word strengthen faith and courage?
- In verse 9, God promises His presence wherever Joshua goes. How does that truth shape the way we face uncertainty or new challenges in our own lives today?
- God promises Joshua, “I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” How does that promise find its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always”? How does that shape the way we follow Him today?
