This message is the final one in our series looking at the life of Moses, from Deut 34: 1- Joshua 1-7. This message is about the transition from Moses to Joshua and our call as disciples of Jesus to be in the business of passing on the baton of the gospel to future generations.

This message is the first in a new series called Tell Her Story. We look together at Eve, and the foundational chapters in Genesis 1-3 which outline God's design for men and women as image bearers.
