Guest speaker Pastor Dave McClamma from Hope for Brazil Ministries walked us through Joshua chapter 1 and invited us to take a missions trip with Israel as Joshua leads a new generation to the promised land. Moses is gone, Joshua receives God’s assignment, the people are challenged to prepare, and God promises His presence, protection, and provision. The chapter ends with a powerful response from the people that models what an all in life looks like for believers today.
