The People's Choice Joshua 24:14-31 We must learn to make proper choices in life.

Joshua 24: "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

A REAL Choice Israel had several options  Back to old life, before the flood  Gods of Ammorites  Serve Jehovah We have real choices to make We are not puppets Free Moral Agents = Free to choose

Joshua 24:22 So Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord for yourselves, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses!" You have to think it through Think of the consequences Witness against yourself

A RESPONSIBLE Choice Joshua does a double-check Are you really ready to give up pagan gods and practices? Are you fully ready to serve Jehovah and ONLY serve Him?

Joshua 24: "Now therefore," he said, "put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel." 24 And the people said to Joshua, "The Lord our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"

A REPENTANT Choice Before you decide – know the results Think about the consequences Are you ready to make that step?

Joshua 24: And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God." 28 So Joshua let the people depart, each to his own inheritance.

A RECORDED Choice Many make decisions – keep it a secret  If we fail or change our minds  No one knows This choice was public – recorded Wedding ring is the “rock” of marriage

A RECORDED Choice This is not a movie – happy ending  Israel does not ride into the sunset  Fairy tale – live happily ever after Joshua died Book of Judges – A cycle of sin Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Joshua 24:31 Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. How long did their choice last? One generation!

A PERMANENT Choice Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Remember the rock as a witness? Rocks last a long time!

We have choices Work – change jobs? Family – marry, children? Location – Where to live, move Simple – Burger King or Wendy's

We have choices Temptation – Resist the temptations Temperament – Who makes you mad? Spiritual – Will we obey God?  Do I believe in Jesus and want to serve Him?  Do I want to obey His commands?
