#PartnerWithGodByFaith
“Because God's not sitting idly doing nothing. Alright. We're all done here sort of attitude. Even though his work is finished, the taking of the land is not finished. And there's more. So we're gonna look at this as a major theme. God's doing the work and going first. He's the good shepherd, bringing his power and provision with him. Our job is to show up and partner with him by faith. That's the major theme of Joshua as it applies to us.”

#ListenAndFollowGod
“So God is doing new things, but they don't depend on us. I hope that's a relief to you. God wants to take you to new places, but it's him who's doing it. You don't have to come up with the idea. He's got it. He knows. Your job is to listen and to pay attention and to follow.”
