In this sermon from Joshua 24, Pastor Anson McMahon confronts the persistent cultural anthem of “I did it my way” with Joshua’s final charge: “Choose this day whom you will serve.”

Drawing from the end of Joshua’s life, Pastor Anson shows that every person already serves a master - whether self, money, approval, pleasure, or control - and that true freedom is found only in gladly submitting to the Lord.

Listeners are challenged to move beyond momentary enthusiasm into daily, Spirit-enabled obedience by continually inclining their hearts toward God.

Key Points

• Something or someone is always exercising lordship over your life; the only question is whom.
• Self is a terrible master because it is never satisfied.
• Money, approval, pleasure, and control are common false masters.
