Advancing with God! (Part 1) - Going Deeper Questions

Sunday, July 6, 2025


Question #1: When you read Joshua 1:1-9, how does this section of scripture make you feel?  Place yourself into Joshua’s role. Does that change your perspective? If so, how?


Question #2: Is there a “Moses” that you keep falling back on that is keeping you from advancing with God? If so, what steps can you take this week to move into the assignment that God has given you? This may start by verbalizing the steps that God has given you. 


Question #3: Does Psalm 37:23 encourage you in this advancement? Why or why not? What would it look like for you to give God control of this advancement that you are facing? Are you willing to take a second seat in your life? Why or why not?


Question #4: Joshua 1:3 shares the promise that God reiterated to Joshua. “Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you.” Joshua 1:3 (NLT) This enhances Reality #2 that Pastor Chris gave us, which stated, Advancement requires action, not just thought. Are you guilty of simply talking about or even praying about the journey but never taking a step toward advancement? What would it take for you to become a man/woman of forward motion? 


Question #5: In the message, we identified a three step battle plan. Study, Meditate on, and Obey the Word. Is there one or more of these steps where you falter? What steps can you take to rectify and even fortify this battle plan in your life? Begin today to implement each step into your daily routine with God.


Question #6: Three times, God says to Joshua: “Be strong and courageous.” Is this an area where you struggle? Memorize 2 Timothy 1:7. Let this verse be a daily life source that you lean upon.


Challenge: 

  1. Identify and remove any “Moses” that is holding back your advancement with God.

  2. Examine your last seven days. If you have been guilty of using words without action, create and implement an action plan to resolve this. 

  3. Establish a daily study and meditation time with God.
