The Book of Joshua: Courage Over Fear

6 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This six-week sermon series looks at the life of Joshua and how to choose courage over fear.

Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not command you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

These words were spoken to Joshua, but they hold meaning for us today.

This sermon series will look at two important questions for every believer:

What has God called us to do?
How are we a part of His salvation story?

By looking at these questions in the context of the book of Joshua, you will encourage listeners to follow God’s commands and choose courage over fear, even when it’s not easy.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 6 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
