Nancy Lee-Demoss says, you can learn a lot about humility by studying the life of an Old Testament leader.

Moses could have been concerned that his reputation as a leader would suffer if people saw that he was vulnerable.

But Moses wasn't trying to protect his image. What he cared about was God's name being vindicated.

He cared about God's people beingicated. He cared about God's people being victorious.

He cared about God's enemies being defeated.

Thank you. 2014.

From now through the fall, we're focusing on the Life of Joshua in several connected series.

We're in the first of those series.

It's called Lessons from the Life of Joshua Part 1, Learning to Be Victorious.

Nancy's picking that series back up, teaching a group of women in the studio.

Like all of us, they are facing various types of challenges today.

The Life of Joshua is helping all of us face those challenges with confidence in God.

We've been listening to some of the stories of what's going on in different ones of our lives,

and we look around this room and say there are a lot of pressure points,

some stressful and difficult seasons of life that people are facing.

I'm thinking of a dear friend of mine who would love to have been here this morning and may be here later today, but she is going through all kinds of major

life changes and season of life issues. And I've been talking with her this week, and it seems

as if at every juncture there have been challenges,

tests, struggles, just so much going on. In fact, she said to me, I have something going on in

every season of life right now. The only thing that's not happening at the moment that could be

added is if I found that I was pregnant. And she doesn't think she is. She's in her mid-50s, but she is dealing with a lack of sleep, just very short nights.
