  4. Joshua Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

  5. Joshua Joshua 24:16-24 • People answered “God forbid” • God brought us up from Egypt • The Lord drove out these people • “we will serve the Lord” • Joshua said: “put away the gods” “and the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.” v. 24

  6. Joshua Joshua died at 110 years of age. “And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.” Joshua 24:31

  7. Led their houses to Follow God • Noah - Genesis 6:5-8 • Mordecai – uncle of Esther - Esther 4:14 • Cornelius – Acts 10:24 • Lydia of Thyatira – Acts 16

  8. Choices we make Every generation - Judges 2:10-11 “another generation” “which knew not the Lord” “Did evil” - served “Baalim” Decisions affect our homes Romans 12:1-2 “a living sacrifice” One Generation away from Apostasy

  9. Choices we make Parents teach more by what they do than what they say ! “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” 1 Cor. 11:1 Children imitate parents: Attitudes Outlook Faith Morality Respect for God Priorities Love of God Commitment

  10. Choices we make “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 Parents do more good by being good than any other way ! Parents do more harm by being bad than any other way !

  11. Choices we make Small compromises lead to loss of respect Double messages: Say one thing Act another Compromise - - - believe nothing…. Hosea 4:6 “destroyed for lack of knowledge”

  12. “I always thought we’d go to heaven.” “I’m so glad to see you again.” Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
