Head

• Read Joshua 24:11-13. Imagine you and your family are there with Joshua hearing this for the first time. What event(s) are you recalling? You may want to spend some time to page through the Book of Exodus or watch these two 5-minute videos https://youtu.be/0uf-PgW7rqE  (Part 1) and https://youtu.be/b0GhR-2kPKI (Part 2).
• Take some time to share stories about the events in your family’s life story where God has demonstrated his faithfulness.

Heart

• Read Joshua 24:14-15. Imagine again you and your family are there with Joshua hearing this for the first time. What are you feeling as you hear this challenge and declaration?
• How does Joshua’s challenge and declaration make you and your family feel today?

Hands

• What (perhaps difficult) work might God be leading you and your family to do in order to say “yes” and choose to fear and serve God, alone, everyday? Or, to go deeper in your conviction and commitment alongside the others in your church family? What are you going to do next?
