Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage: Priorities for Kingdom Living

Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack the second characteristic, what it means to have courage in Christ.

Men need courage to take a stand for God's Word and ways in increasingly challenging times, and as someone has said, "All it takes for evil to flourish is good men to stand by and do nothing"!

We need courage to love our wives, teach our children, live honestly and uprightly no matter what, spread the Gospel, overcome fear, and to do all we do with all our heart.

God's call to Joshua is a call to us in our day: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). With this charge, He sent the head of the nation of Israel to conquer the Promised Land. He is calling you to become a courageous warrior today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way.

You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly courage. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process.

The world is not as God created it. Evil exists. Persecution happens. God has given men responsibilities, and often we fear failure. Mighty Men of Valor need great courage. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage is all about.

As with the additional Bible studies in this series-Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 - Strength and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion-this study can be used in three essential ways.

• Use these studies as a daily devotional. We strongly encourage every man to take time out for a daily meeting-or appointment-with God.
• Work through these studies with another man. Think of this as walking "Side-by-Side," meeting weekly for mutual growth, support, and accountability.
• Connect with other men in a triad or small-group setting. Think of Jesus, who invested in a small group of 12 men, guiding them on the spiritual journey.
