Principles for the Pursuit | Sunday Sermon | Joshua 1:1–5
What do you do when God calls you forward, but you’re still grieving what you’ve lost?
In this sermon from Joshua 1:1–5, Principles for the Pursuit, we explore Israel’s transition from Moses to
Joshua and discover timeless truths about faith, leadership, and obedience in seasons of change. Standing
between wilderness memory and promised possibility, Joshua teaches us that pursuing God’s promises
requires courage, trust, and movement—even when the timing feels difficult.
This message reminds us that while grief is real and necessary, it cannot become a stopping place. God’s
promises extend beyond what we can see, beyond what we’ve experienced, and beyond what feels
comfortable.

In this message, you’ll learn: - Why God often calls us to move during our hardest seasons
- How negativity and fear can delay destiny
- What it means to step into promises you’ve never seen before
- How God’s faithfulness in the past shapes courage for the future
- Why obedience positions us between what’s been “given” and what must still be “pursued”
We pray this message encourages you to keep walking, keep trusting, and keep pursuing everything God
has for you—until every promise is fulfilled.
