Joshua chapters 13-21 are centered upon WORSHIP. Worship is what we see Israel do throughout the book of Joshua. And as we shift to this portion of Joshua it should be no surprise that it is at the center of what the people of Israel are doing. The challenge for you then is to put Sunday worship at the center of your lifestyle and empowered by this worship to go out and conquer the land for Jesus Christ (evangelism in word and deed). Do not go AWOL (absent without leave) from Sunday worship. Instead, promise God you will be faithful in attendance and do it.
The passage is a long one. Therefore, I only read selected portions (part of 13:1-7, 14:1-5, 18:1-10, and 21:43-45). But the preaching portion (the text the sermon is based upon) cannot be shortened without missing the big picture articulated above.
Note: This is the sermon as it was preached at Peter Creek on Sunday and I had a terrible sinus cold at the time (I nearly lost my voice a couple days before, so thanks be to God that I got it back in order to preach).
