Joshua Chapter 24
REMEMBER
Joshua said to the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods. But I took your ancestor Abraham from the land beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan.
I gave… I gave… I gave… I sent… I brought… I did… I brought…
I destroyed… I gave… I made… I rescued… I gave… I sent… I gave… I gave… I gave….”
-Joshua 24:2-13
RESOLVE
14 “So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone. 15 But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
-Joshua 24:14-15
RECITE
16 The people replied, “We would never abandon the Lord and serve other gods. 17 For the Lord our God is the one who rescued us and our ancestors from slavery in the land of Egypt. He performed mighty miracles before our very eyes. As we traveled through the wilderness among our enemies, he preserved us. 18 It was the Lord who drove out the Amorites and the other nations living here in the land. So we, too, will serve the Lord, for he alone is our God.”
-Joshua 24:16-18
RECOMMIT
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God. We will obey him alone.” 25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day at Shechem, committing them to follow the decrees and regulations of the Lord.
-Joshua 24:24-25
FOR DISCUSSION:
Read Deuteronomy 30:1-20 out loud. Then retell the passage in your own words. Then discuss the following questions:
What does this passage teach us about God?
What does this passage teach us about people?
If this is true, what should I do in response?
Who could I share this with?
