How God Responds When We are Courageous | Dr. Phil Griffin

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to trust God even when the path in front of us feels impossible. In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Joshua 1:1–9, where Joshua is called to lead the nation of Israel after the death of Moses and to guide them across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Faced with an overwhelming responsibility and an impossible situation, God gives Joshua a clear command that is repeated throughout the passage: “Be strong and courageous.”This sermon explores what happens when believers step forward in courage and trust the promises of God. Through Joshua’s example, we are reminded that courage begins with submitting to God’s purposes, trusting His promises, standing on His commands, and making His Word the foundation of our lives. When we choose to trust God with the “Jordans” in front of us, the things that seem impossible, God responds with His presence, His provision, and His promises that never fail.---Sermon Notes:I. We must be willing to submit to God's purposes. 1) Submission begins with preparation. 2) Submission requires perseverance.II. We must be willing to trust in God's promises. 1) Of His provision 2) Of His presenceIII. We must be willing to stand on God's precepts.IV. We must be willing to make God's Word our passion. 1) We must devote ourselves to the Word. 2) We must be doers of the Word.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!
