[Joshua 24:1-14 ; Romans 12:1]
God talks about what He has done for Israel.
1) Patriarchs (ver. 2-4)
2) Exodus (ver. 5-7)
3) Transjordan Victories (ver. 8-10)
4) Promised Land (ver. 13)
This is an account of how God has provided & fought for his people...
God asks the people to choose who they would serve.
The people of Israel reply that they should serve God because of all He has done for them.
The key to covenant (and the Christian life) is to see what God has done for us.
(Figure: Gospel Grid)How would God's discussion with us look like, if we were Israel?
1) Starting point: Where would you be without Christ today? Where did God find you?
2) Salvation: What has God saved us from, brought us into?
3) Balaam: Who has God used to bless and not curse?
4) Provisions: In what ways have you received cities you did not build and vineyards you did not plant?
