Go out into the world in peace.
Be of good courage;
Hold fast to what is good;
Never return evil for evil, but overcome evil with good.
Strengthen the timid.
Support the weak.
Help the needy.
Honor everybody.
Love, serve, and witness to the Lord Jesus,
rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit.
And may the blessing of Almighty God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
rest on you and remain with you forever.

Questions for further discussion this week:
—Name one time when you had to be courageous with your faith, really relying God.
—How did Joshua's listening, his obedience, and his trust work together in God's plan for Israel to overcome Jericho by faith?
—How can you express a courageous faith this week? (ideas: trusting God in a difficult situation, telling someone about Jesus, being obedient when it's hard)
