Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, where I will commission him.” (vs. 7, 14)

Be strong and courageous.” (vs. 5 – 6) • “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (vs. 6) • “Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord commanded Moses.” (vs. 34:9)

CLARIFICATION LEADERSHIP LESSON Moses gave Joshua a clear job description in the presence of all the people. • “Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, ‘Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance...So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests...Then Moses commanded them: ‘You shall read this law before them in their hearing. Assemble the people – men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns – so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of the law. Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing to Jordan to possess.” (vs. 7 - 13)

They will forsake Me and break the covenant I made with them...(Moses said) For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!...For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you.” (vs. 15 - 29)

  10. “When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting Me and breaking My covenant. And when many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” (14-21)

  11. 9. PRESERVATION LEADERSHIP LESSON Moses preserved the Words of the Lord in writing and in song. • “Now write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it...So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites...And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel...” (vs. 19 - 30; cf. 32: 1 - 43)

They are not just idle words for you – they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” (vs. 19 - 30; 32:44 - 47)

  13. 11. AFFIRMATION LEADERSHIP LESSON Moses affirms the people through God’s blessing and God’s love. • “This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelites before his death. He said: “Surely it is You who love the people...Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him...and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders…There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you...The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” (33:1, 3, 12, 26 - 27)

  14. “Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will trample down heir high places.” (33:29)
