Conclusion. God has promised a life that is abundant and overflowing. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him, and He desires to give us more than our lives can contain.
God calls us to do good, do right, and do well. He also wants us to do more. Scripture eliminates any excuse we might have to be content with what is already completed.

Part 4. Every good and perfect God gives us is something to steward. We take care of what God owns but puts in our possession. If we are faithful with it, our Master promises to reward us and say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
In addition to doing good and doing what is right, we are told to do well. We must use what God has given, but we can't just do enough to get by. God is looking for the best, for He is God. Because of His greatness, we must do well.

Part 2. As we step out to "do" the work of the Kingdom, we find out how God looks for a very specific type of fruit. It isn't apples versus oranges versus bananas. God draws a line and judges the quality of our fruit, which reveals the truth about we who bear it.

The first step of doing is to "do good." We have a sense of what we believe is good, but it is based on the feelings of the individual. God has a different idea of what is good, and He direct us to bear good fruit.

Part 1. On the Day of Pentecost, we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the first time on New Testament believers, and we pray for Him to come anew to our individual lives and our churches. The Holy Spirit was given, not just to have a party once a year, but to help us accomplish our mission.

It is an unpopular idea, but we are saved to do, to be about our Father's business. God is looking for a people who aren't just sitting and waiting, but are busy fulfilling good deeds and doing the work of the Kingdom.

God has promised to never leave or forsake us, but it doesn't always feel like He is there. We feel forgotten, abandoned, or off of His radar. Did you know it is biblical to ask God to remember you.

There are eight people in Scripture who called on God in various seasons of their lives, asking Him to remember us. They aren't super-spiritual or perfect. Yet they are all models for making this specific request to God.

Conclusion. The last two chapters of the book of Joshua contain the final words and acts of Joshua for the people of Israel. He assembled two groups to give them clear messages for their future. The choices made on those days would set the tone for that generation of God's people.

At the end of this series, we hear God's clear call to make a choice. It sounds strange at the end of the conquest, when victory is already won, but the to choice returns everyday. To keep finding victory and hold on to what God has given us, we have to keep making the right choice.
