In this second week of our COURAGEOUS sermon series, we consider when we need the courage to take the mantle— of responsibility and leadership. When the Biblical patriarch Moses dies, the leadership of the nation of Israel passes to Joshua—a moment filled with uncertainty, grief, and daunting responsibility.
In this sermon based on Joshua 1, we explore what it means to step into new roles, carry forward a legacy, and lead with courage even when we feel unprepared. God’s repeated words to Joshua—“Be strong and courageous”—remind us that the call to leadership isn’t about being fearless, but about trusting that God goes with us. Whether you’re stepping into leadership, passing the mantle, or just finding the courage to take the next faithful step, this message offers encouragement for the journey.
