Who is God? Do you know him? He has made himself known.

How does God introduce himself before he gave Israel the law? This is important for God's people to consider.

So, how did Jesus fulfill the book of Joshua? Was it just in a general way or was it specific? Think of all the ways some have misused Joshua, not seeing the fulfillment in all its beauty in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The only natural and logical response to God's grace is a covenant commitment on the part of his people. We love because he first loved us.

Are we to expect nothing as a response from the hearers of the gospel? Or is there a call to choose to serve the Lord? Does grace mean that we are to let sin abound so that grace may abound even more? By no means (Rom. 6.2).

Joshua gathers the leaders of the people of Israel to tell them to remember the Lord's favor, obey the Lord out of gratitude, and be warned of the Lord's judgment.

What happens when there is conflict between two parties? How is it often handled? If your brother sins against you, the Lord commanded that you go and tell him his fault, one on one. This would also apply to groups of people. Let them know that they might be doing something wrong, even though they may not know it. Here, we have a situation where there are two sides, both devoted to the Lord, but there was a misunderstanding and an attributing of ill motive. How do we tend to handle such conflict? First, we must recognize that the body of Christ is One and then, be sure that we are worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in truth.

What does it mean to be a Levite? And what was their inheritance? How does the example of the Levitical priests translate to us today? These are all questions we will attempt to answer.

The Lord is just and a refuge for sinners.

God has given Israel the land, but many of them have not claimed it yet. Although, the Lord doesn't promise us an earthly conquest today, yet he has given us the kingdom that is here and is coming. Have you claimed this promise for yourself?

What do we expect God to do for us, between now and when the Lord Jesus returns for us? We often expect him to do one thing in our lives and yet he does another. Instead of always trying to interpret his providence in the present, we ought to be living faithfully for the future coming of his kingdom.

To live faithfully is to live by faith in Christ, identify your purpose (which is to glorify God and enjoy him forever) and fulfill that purpose, only in his strength!

What does it mean to live by faith? We know it is to receive and rest in the finished work of Christ everyday, but what are the fruits of faith? We know that faith follows but who, how, and why? Caleb is a great example of faith that follows.

Think of all that God has provided you. And he has provided you much more than you can imagine when you place your faith in Jesus. You have an inheritance that is unshakable stored up for you in heaven!

Has God been good to you? This is a good conversation starter when we meet someone who rejects his way of salvation. He has been good to us even when we have willfully rebelled against him. And he changes us from 'spiritual Canaanites' to 'true Israelites,' by the Spirit.
