Joshua in the Making

"Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel." (Joshua 1:1, 2 KJV)

1- The Mourning is Over for Joshua
Death- the death of Moses brought in a new leadership for the Israelites.

Discouragement- must be a stepping stone and must not put us down.

Depression- is the common outcome from death in the family.

2- The Message was Overwhelming for Joshua. 
You follow the man who followed the man.
Simple
Short
Straight Forward
Starting Point

3- The Master's Overall Purpose for Joshua V. 6- 7

"And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face"(Deuteronomy 34:10 KJV)
