What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do
Joshua 1:10-18

Most people struggle with making decisions. Those times of struggle are compounded at critical times in our life. Transitions, losses and gains can create crisis of beliefs for us with God. Like Joshua, Christians face and overcome obstacles with God’s help. He will show you what to do.

  • Truth 3. (v 6-9) God commands expectantly.

Today we are not called to war against a physical enemy. The Church is call to walk with God and hear Him speak.
God wants His people to be holy and pure.
God wants His people to display unity.
God wants His people to love one another.

  • Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?
  • God wants His people to display unity.
  • God wants His people to love one another.
