REDEFINES FAMILY
To know that my spiritual family here at the church was able to help me get through arguably my greatest personal challenge [and] public personal challenge means a lot. It allows you to redefine family and I'm at a point now where I'm so far delivered and removed that I strive to make sure that I can be that type of vessel or asset for anybody else.

Joshua's Final Instructions
July 28, 2024
The people had lived in the new land for many years. They had rested and enjoyed everything God gave them. Now Joshua, their leader, had grown very old. One day Joshua called all the people together. He said, “I am old now. You know God has kept all His promises to you. God took care of you and kept you safe. God helped you get to the land for your new home.” Joshua then told the people to remember everything God had done—God took care of the people and their families long ago. God sent Moses and Aaron to be their leaders. God helped the people leave Egypt and travel to Canaan. God made sure the people were safe and had food to eat. Joshua said: “Obey God and worship Him with all your heart. Choose Him and no other gods. As for me and my family, we will worship God.” The people said, “We know God has done wonderful things for us. He has protected us. We will love and worship God.” Joshua wrote down what the people said. He took a large stone and set it under a tree as a reminder for the people to always love and serve God.
