Summary

Will you build your life of the Rock of surrender to Jesus or the shifting sands of Self?Final Thought:“Give me all of you!!! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don’t want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self---in my image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you Myself. My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.” CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

0:00.0	Amen. How are doing, church? Doing good? About half? That's good. I hope you'll be better by the time you leave. Grab your Bibles. If you got one. If you don't, there's one in the seat back in front of you. It is our gift to you. Go to Joshua chapter 24. It's the last chapter in Joshua. Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible and this is the last of our 11 week series.
0:22.5	And the reason that we show videos like that about before all things is we're on this two-year
0:26.6	discipleship journey asking this fundamental question, is he before all things in your life? And we
0:32.4	don't show these videos to show you what our people are doing, but what God is doing in and through
0:36.4	our people. And so,
0:37.9	you know, God may be partnering, having us partner with the Boys and Girls Club to plant
0:42.4	churches right here in Jacksonville. Not only that, this week in Africa, we planted,
0:46.0	you planted five churches in Eve's sacrifice. So way to go. You didn't even know you did it, right?
0:50.1	You're awesome. Didn't even know it. So, and the reason we're asking this question, it's out of Colossus chapter one that just
0:57.5	says that he is before all things, because I don't know about you, but sometimes there's
1:01.2	some things in my world that try to creep their way up and get in front of the one
1:05.7	that's supposed to be before all things.
1:07.7	And what we're going to find here in Joshua chapter 24 is Joshua in a different
1:11.1	way, he's basically going to give the same kind of challenge and ask the same kind of question.
1:15.6	And here's why we're going to play special attention to what Joshua says, because this is his
1:21.2	very last sermon, this is his very last speech, and he knows it. At the end of chapter 24 is his
1:26.0	funeral service. And so he knows
1:28.2	is the last thing he's going to say. And you know that your last words are going to be your
1:32.1	most important words. Every parent in here knows what I'm talking about or everybody that has
1:36.1	parents knows what I'm talking about. It's those last words you say to your kids right before you drop
1:40.2	them off, right? What do you do? You're like, hey, listen to me, listen. Look at my face. Look, listen. Say yes, ma'am and no, ma'am. Yes, sir, and no, sir. And brush your teeth, for the
1:48.4	love of God, would you brush your teeth and wear clean tears so you do not embarrass our whole family, right?
