Are You Ready to Enter Land?

calendar_today December 31, 2017
menu_book Deuteronomy 31:7-8 , 
person Rev. T. J. Campo
view_list The Choice of a New Generation , 

The charge to Joshua is, “be strong and courageous.” And, WE TOO… need strength and courage to meet what may come. And while TODAY we may be hopeful and excited to turn over a new leaf and charge ahead… THERE MAY ALSO BE A BIT OF ANXIETY and apprehension… maybe even some real dread. You may be facing some uncertainties, changes/challenges… And DO YOU HAVE, practically speaking, the inner resources to face the task?

Is this sermon a pep-talk? Well… sort of… a preview and a pep-talk but more than that… a kind of antidote to what faces us all from time to time…and faces some of us with crushing force: discouragement.

If DIS-couragement is a loss of heart (literal meaning) then how do we find “courage” and inner strength at the start of this launch/New Year’s Eve…and how do we stay encouraged in the face of anxiety/change and maybe great resistance in the coming year?

Let’s look at
1) The Call to Courage
2) The Reason for Courage and
3) The Practice of Courage in 2018
