1. The Mission (Joshua 1: 1 - 9)
Under God's command, Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt. Now after 40 years, God commanded Joshua to lead the Israelites to enter Canaan. God didn't lead Israelites to enter Canaan right after they left Egypt but to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. That's because God wanted to train not only the Israelites to be His great army but also Joshua to be a great leader. So, from the Book of Joshua, we may learn how to be God seasoned warriors and leaders. So, will God bring up such a kind of desire for us?
