2025 Ep. 303 Courageous: There's a Lion Inside of You - Unleashing Your Roar

One City

If God gave us His definition for success, would you pay attention? Everyone in the world is battling for success, yet most of us aren’t prioritizing God’s definition of success. 

Guess what? For the vast majority, success is never easy. Success always comes with internal challenges and external opposition. This is especially true spiritually because there’s an enemy fighting against God’s purposes and promises. That’s why God tells Joshua and Caleb time and time again to be “strong and courageous.” 

Success is a battle on many levels. It is a battle spiritually, mentally, and physically. In this series, we’re going to discover and develop the lion inside of you. 

The final message of Courageous is from Joshua 24:1-33. The goal of this message is to help you make a confident declaration. Most of us doubt our ability to make and sustain commitments. That’s because the majority of our commitments are more intellectual than relational. Both of are important, but our hearts must be the driver. 

This message is about rediscovering the feelings behind the facts. It’s vitally important for our history and holy days to be more than facts and traditions. Ultimately, history is His Story. It is so important for us to revitalize the holidays by personalizing the story. We must go beyond honoring Jesus as the Savior, but worshipping Him as our personal Lord and Savior. For many of us, we are already married, but holidays are an excellent time to renew our vows. 

This message is an opportunity to command your heart to wake up and be renewed. It is so easy to become too busy, too distracted, and numb out. It is time to feel again. Listen to this message with a heart to respond and be renewed.
