This week Trent spoke on Joshua 1:6-9. In this passage God told Joshua many times that he needs to be strong and courageous in the face of the task that God set before Joshua. Joshua was supposed to lead the people of Israel to conquer the land, even though there were many opponents that would try and stop them from living in the land that God had promised to the people of Israel. For the eighth graders who are about to go into high school, the transition to high school can be scary. High schoolers can seem like big, scary people, and we might be afraid that they will not really like us. Still, God wants us to all be strong and courageous. As new freshman there are many things that God wants you to do as you are in the new land called "high school." You will have a big part of the next group; you will be at least 25% of the total group. As a result you can help take leadership and welcome other people to the group. You will not be alone in the transition either because God will be with you as he promised Joshua in addition to all the other eighth grade students. There are many great things that God wants to do in your life while in high school, so as you go into high school you need to be courageous and allow God to work through you and teach you. For those staying in middle school, you need to courageously welcome in the new sixth graders and help them to make a good transition into the group. God wants you to be working hard to serve him as well, and that will take courage and strength.
