Discussion Questions
1a. What does the narrative of Joshua last words teach us about God's faithfulness to His covenant?
1b. Would you share your salvation or baptism story to spur one another in faith.
2. What attitude does Joshua show in this verse with the words “but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?”
3. Do we have such a choice?
What choices are people choosing between today (E.g., they might not choose between other gods and the Lord, but would choose between something else and Him)?
