Introduction / Background:
In Joshua 3, the Israelites crossed the Jordan River on dry ground by means of a miracle from God. God had the priests take the Ark of the Covenant into the water first. When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark entered the water, the Lord caused the flow of the Jordan to stop and rise up. The people then crossed the river on dry ground.
In chapter 4, Joshua has the priests make a memorial to the event that had just happened. Read Joshua 4:1-9.
Group Discussion Questions:
Raise your hand if you love traditions and are sentimental. Ask someone why they love traditions. Ask someone why they hate traditions.
What's one item that you have that is super sentimental?
What is the reason for a memorial? For example, Memorial Day, a memorial service, a memorial museum, etc.

Why is the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation (the bread and wine become the physical body of Jesus) against the teaching of the Bible and therefore wrong?
How can we be careful not to fall into the trap of meaningless tradition or a perverted ritual?
What can you do to keep the Lord's Supper meaningful to you?
Are there any stories you'd like people to remember about what God's done in your life?

Whole 'Nother Level: Famous Last Words
Read Joshua 24:14–16
Scripture Summary:
God has demonstrated His power and faithfulness throughout the book of Joshua. He's fulfilled EVERY promise he made, and has won EVERY battle He has fought. Now at the conclusion of the book (chapter 24), He asks Israel and us to reaffirm the most important decision of our lives: "Choose for yourselves whom you will serve today" (v. 15).
Group Discussion:
Part 1: Remembering Who God Is and What He's Done
As we've gone through the book of Joshua, what was your favorite story/detail/situation of how God demonstrated His power?
Who can share a great example of how God showed His faithfulness to the Israelites from the book of Joshua?
(If your group struggles to remember examples of God's power and faithfulness in Joshua, use this opportunity to ask them why they've forgotten.)
Why do you think God recites Israel's history from beginning to end in verses 1–13?
Would anyone like to share a story of how you saw God demonstrate His power in your life in 2016?
How has God proven His faithfulness to you this year?
Part 2: Responding to Who God Is and What He's Done
Notice that God said "choose" in verse 15. God has given us the ability to make choices. What are some dangers this freedom to choose could present?
Why does God let us choose?
Whether we realize it or not, we make the choice of who we will serve every day. Who is usually your choice, and why?
If someone else that knows you very well listed your top 3 to 5 priorities (based on your actions) in order, what would that list be? Are you happy with that order?
Joshua and the Israelites repeat the word serve 13 times in verses 14–27. Why is this a good word to describe our duty to God?
How does remembering who God is and what He's done help with your decision of whom to serve?
Why might serving the Lord seem undesirable to the Israelites (v. 15)?
In what ways is serving the Lord difficult for you?
What makes serving God worthwhile?
Conclusion:
Serve Hard is one of our five Core Values at Revo Church. Serving makes the list because we aren't anything like Jesus if we aren't serving. The word "hard" follows it because even Jesus knew it was hard to serve, yet he did it to the fullest.
Serving God and others should be a Core Value to all Christians. Meaning, no matter what, serving is something you'll always hold true to and will build your foundation upon. However, this isn't easy to do.
Pray that God will give you the courage to rise to the daily challenge of serving Him. Ask other people to hold you accountable.

Whole 'Nother Level: Don't Stop Now
Read Joshua 17:13–18
Summary of Scripture:
The Israelites complain to Joshua that they don't have enough land. Seriously?! Joshua isn't hearing it, though, and tells them to man up and take some more land by invading the forest. The people complain again (What is up with these people?!) that there are Canaanites on this land, to which Joshua basically responds by repeating his initial response to "stop complaining and making excuses, and move forward!"
How This Scripture Applies to Us:
1. Sometimes we act like the Israelites, complaining about how little God has given us when we have not fully used what we have.
Group Discussion Questions:
What is something that you constantly complain about?
Why do we complain?
What is wrong with complaining?
Why do you think God doesn't want complaining?
Name a few things you are uncertain about in your life right now.
How does complaining and negativity affect people's relationship with Jesus Christ?
How about our relationships with the people around us?
Do you ever feel like you don't have a choice? That your circumstances dictate your current reality?
Do you ever find yourself complaining to those who have no ability to change the situation?
What about God? Do you take your complaints to God? If not, why?
What if you had a "No Complaining" rule? What do you think about that?
What roadblocks might you experience as you being the "No Complaining" rule?
2. We encounter open doors (opportunities provided by God, to act with Him and for Him), but our fears keep us from crossing the threshold with our whole heart.
Think about a time when you felt yourself at a crossroads in the decision making process. What feeling surfaced?
Why do we hold on to our fears and problems so much?
Why is it so difficult to step outside of our comfort zones?
What can we do to make the process of moving forward a better experience?
What is it that holds you back the most? (fear, uncertainty, guilt, not-caring, laziness, etc.)
Do you feel like God is calling you to move towards something great, but you find yourself hesitant to respond? Why?
Discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and environments.
Why does God still choose to help us when our faith is not strong?
God will take you places that will shock you. True or False? Why?
What door has God opened that you've not yet entered?
What's stopping you? What do you need to do about it?
What reward is there in going through the doors that God has called you to?

Whole 'Nother Level: Beat Up By an Old Man
Read Joshua 14:6–15
"The Message" (MSG) is good storytelling version
Summary:
Caleb was an 85-year-old man who was ALL IN with God the same as he was when he was 40-years-old. That's lifelong faithfulness right there! Even in his old age, he kept the faith. Even when he faced Giants, he wholeheartedly trusted God. Even at 85, he said he was ready to fight the battle as long as God was on his side. God is looking for more people like Caleb!
Group Discussion Questions:
What do you think is the biggest difference between someone who is ALL IN vs someone who is HALWAY IN? This could apply to anything (work, relationships, spirituality, hobbies, sports, etc.).
Caleb stood out as a hero. He had what the Bible calls "a different spirit" or attitude (14:24). Why did he stand out? What was different about how he followed God?
What does it mean to follow God wholeheartedly?
Who likes to weigh the pros vs cons when making a big decision? How does this help you?
What happens when the cons outweigh the pros on something that you know God wants you to do? What do you do?
When circumstances in life are bad, most people will doubt, complain and make excuses. This is exactly what the Israelites were doing. However, Caleb trusted God despite evidence to the contrary, and he stood out to God. Give an example of when you trusted God when it didn't make sense, and then share what happened next.
What's the difference between faith and feelings?
Faithfulness to God is hard because we tend to make decisions based on emotions. We usually do what feel like doing. How do you overcome your emotions when God wants you to do something that you don't feel like doing?
Following Jesus is not supposed to be a one-time decision, but lifelong faithfulness...a daily habit. How have you had to keep deciding to follow Jesus throughout your life?
What's the latest example of when you had to live by faith and decide to follow Jesus?
What daily habits of faithfulness to God do you have?
We've all struggled with faith in God's timing. His timing is rarely our preference. What advice would you give to someone else about God's timing?
When everyone else was ready to give up and retreat from God's promise, Caleb refused to rebel against God. What kind of things has God called you to or promised to you that you're running away from?
Caleb didn't just talk the talk, but he was ready to walk the walk when God gave Him the green light. If God decided to deliver His promise to you right now, are you ready?
What are some things that God has promised to you? Which things do you doubt?
How does God test someone's faith?
How does someone prove their faith?
What kind of long-lasting rewards or impact can there be because of your faithfulness?

What's Your Story?
On Sunday, we celebrated life change through Jesus. We witnessed people publicly professing their faith in Christ and taking their next step by being baptized. Baptism is a symbol of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. New life is possible because of Jesus!
Group Discussion Questions:
How has the experience of Sunday and witnessing people being baptized affected the way you look at God?
What did you think of it?
Did it make sense to you?
Have you made the wonderful discovery of knowing God personally?
(Don't assume everyone is a follower of Jesus. Be prepared to lead someone to Jesus right now!!!)
Have you been baptized?
Where would you say you are in your spiritual pilgrimage?
(Tell your personal testimony of how you became a Christian. Keep it to three minutes, using the following outline):
BEFORE - What characterized my life before I trusted Christ.
DURING - How I came to trust Christ.
AFTER - How I am different now.
Have you ever shared your story before? Who would like the opportunity to briefly share their "before, during, and after" knowing Jesus story?
(Let people share their stories. Make sure they don't get off track.)
So, what's your next step?
(Go around the room and ask each person to share what they think their next step of faith is. Whether it's a small or huge step, write it down so you can pray, encourage and help them follow through with it. To be an effective leader/discipler, you need to know what each person's next step is, and take it with them.)

Whole 'Nother Level: Admit It, You Failed
Joshua 6:18 – 8:1
Scripture Summary:
In Joshua 6, the Israelites obeyed God's instructions to a "T" on how to take the land of Jericho. God made a promise to them and came through. This was a HUGE victory for the Israelites, and God had obviously helped them.
God also gave them specific instructions on what to do (and what NOT to do) when they take over the city.
Group Discussion Questions:
Read Joshua 6:18-19. What were the specific instructions?
Now read Joshua 7:1. (#FAIL) What was Achan thinking?! Why, Achan? WHYYYY???!!!
There were consequences for Achan's sin. What happened to him? What happened to others because of him?
When God promises us something good, we always hold Him accountable. But what about when He promises us something bad (consequences of sin)? Why do we then expect God to NOT keep His promise?
Let's not be so quick to point at Achan. We've all failed. There are many causes for failure. Some are the products of specific acts of sin, but some are not. What are some of the significant failures you have experienced in your life?
How did you process these failures with God?
What lessons did you learn through your experience and processing these failures?
How do/did these failures prepare you to be a better follower of Jesus?
How have you grown spiritually as a result of your response to failure?
What successes have you experienced because of the lessons you learned during your times of failure?
What is it that allows a mature believer to succeed in spite of failure?
How should a follower of Jesus use failure as lessons for growth and change?
Why is acknowledging your failure(s) a crucial step to move forward?
Why is it important to confess your sins to God?
Why should we take time to study or examine what happened when we failed/sinned?
Should you carry your failure with you or leave it behind you as you move forward? Any scripture to support your answer? (1 John 1:9, Philippians 3:13)
Are we less accepted by God when we fail? Why or why not? (Grace vs Performance)
If we've decided to follow Jesus, then how come we still sin and fail?
Let's say we have failed BIG TIME. Or maybe SO MANY TIMES. Is God done with you now?
What measurement of success and failure do you use in the following areas?
• Your home life
• Your areas of ministry
• Your workplace
To whom do you compare yourself as you succeed or fail in the following areas?
• Your home
• Your spiritual growth
• Your career development
• Your position in your community
How do you evaluate yourself when you see someone who:
• Makes more money than you
• Drives a nicer car than yours
• Lives in a bigger house than yours
• Has higher career achievements than you
• Takes more expensive vacations than you
How are the materialistic temptations and expectations of our culture luring you away from measuring your success biblically?
As a child of God, what standard should you use in any area of your life to measure your growth and success?
What daily disciplines do you need to practice so that you can use your failures as preparation for biblical success?

Whole 'Nother Level: Roadmap to Success
Opening question: Who is growing spiritually because of being a part of this rGroup?
Remind people of what an rGroup is - "People who regularly meet and participate in activities together with the goal of experiencing spiritual growth (transformation, life change)."
Remind people that the vision of rGroups is "communities that change lives."
Remind people what "community" is - Christian community is simply sharing a common life in Christ, and committing ourselves to life together as the people of God.
----
Summary of Joshua 5:13–15, 6:1-21
Conquering the Promised Land was an enormous task. The first major obstacle is to conquer the Canaanite powerhouse–Jericho. As the Israelites approach this "battle," the Lord teaches them and us how to be victorious.
----
Group Discussion Questions:
We fight many battles in life– financial, physical, emotional and spiritual. How can we be victorious in these struggles, especially when the odds against us seem overwhelming?
When have you felt that God was fighting your battles for you? How did you feel?
5:13–15 - How do you think the visit by the commander of the army of the Lord affected Joshua?
6:1–5 - In what ways do the Lord's instructions for the conquest of Jericho seem strange? Can you relate to any of God's instructions for your life?
6:6–15 - How do you think the Israelites felt during this 7-day spectacle? Why do you think God gave them this direction? I bet some of us would rather fight and risk dying than walk in circles and let God fight our battle and win. Why is God's plan better than ours?
What lessons was God teaching the Israelites during their 7 days of marching?
This 7-day march became a test of whether or not the Israelites would follow and obey the Lord because they loved Him and had a desire to please Him. Has God ever given you a similar test?
6:17–25 - What did it mean for this city and its contents to be devoted to the Lord?
How would you apply this to your life? What can you devote to the Lord?
6:19, 24 - Why didn't God allow the Israelites to keep any of the spoils of war?
How is our spiritual warfare today similar to and different from Israel's conquest of Jericho? (see 2 Corinthians 10:3–5)
Spiritual growth is always a result of obedience to God. What spiritual battles are you currently fighting?
Pray for victory for yourself and others you know who are fighting spiritual battles.
----
Social Media: Ask someone to give a closing statement in a sentence or two that is "retweet" or "share" worthy. Ask them to post it, and then have others in your group share/retweet it.
