As we start a new calendar year, we return to the Old Testament and pick up the books of Joshua and Judges. God’s promise to Abraham has begun to be fulfilled; there are around a million Israelites, Abraham’s descendants. Now God is preparing to fulfill the second part of His promise, and give the Israelites a land…the Promised Land of Canaan.
We learn about the crossing of the flooded Jordan River, which showed the new generation of Israelites that God has vast power and affirmed the leadership of Joshua. This Sunday we will learn about the first conquest in Canaan, the walled city of Jericho. Again God will show His power, based on the obedience of Joshua and the Israelites to His instructions. After marching around the city in silence each day for six days, the Israelites marched seven times around the city on the seventh day, finally breaking their silence with a great shout as the walls of the city fell down. The city was easily taken, according to God’s plan.
We will look to Joshua and the Israelites as an example of how we should obey God’s commands today, and how we can expect His blessing when we do. Join us for fun, fellowship, and learning as we study this exciting story.
Don’f forget to bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
