You Are The One, Part 2

Boldness Becomes A Personal Directive

This message keeps the focus on Joshua 1, but sharpens the tone. The sermon argues that God's word to Joshua is not merely inspirational language. It is a directive. The hearer is told to stop negotiating with what God has already made plain and to accept that the command to move is personal.

Too Much Has Been Invested In You

A major thread in the sermon is that every trial, disappointment, and season of pressure has been preparation. The congregation is challenged to reinterpret past struggle as training for present responsibility. What feels heavy is not wasted history. It is evidence that this moment has been building for longer than they realized.

Leadership Means Someone Is Attached To Your Yes

The message presses beyond personal blessing into responsibility. Joshua is addressed as the one who must lead the people across, and Bishop Hill applies that weight directly to the church: there are people, family lines, and future outcomes attached to whether you obey God boldly or remain passive. Your choice affects more than you.

The Backseat Season Is Over

Part two also confronts spiritual passivity. The sermon rejects the habit of waiting on another leader, another relative, or another season to do what God has placed in your hands. In this framing, boldness means taking responsibility for driving what God has assigned instead of sitting back and hoping someone else will carry it.

Fulfillment Is Found In Assignment

The sermon closes by reframing success. Fulfillment is not defined by collecting visible blessings while ignoring purpose. It is found in finishing the assignment faithfully. That is why the invitation to salvation, church commitment, fasting, and disciplined obedience is tied directly to the call to be the one.
