Be Strong In The Lord | Joshua 1:6-9 | In Honor Of...

Are you standing on the edge of a new season feeling entirely unqualified and overwhelmed? In this encouraging message, Pastor Wes Arnes uses his terrifying first days of fatherhood and the structural layout of Joshua 1 to explore where to turn when life demands more than you can give. Whether you are a graduate entering a new career, a parent facing family pressures, or approaching retirement, discover why your internal strength was never meant to be enough. Learn the three bedrock reasons you can remain strong and courageous: because God keeps His promises, His Word acts as our ultimate direction when it's hard to see, and His presence never leaves our side. Step away from your anxiety and anchor your life in a faithful God who specializes in sustaining the weak. -- ABOUT CROSSLIFE CHURCH CrossLife is a dynamic group of people of all ages who are seeking to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ in a challenging and ever-changing world.
