To understand why Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh had made a bad decision when they asked to remain at the East side of the Jordan, we need to read Numbers 32. In that chapter, we read that they had a great number of livestock. When they saw
“They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you,” declares the Lord, “to deliver you.” Jeremiah 1:19 Joshua is as much a book about spiritual battles as it is about physical ones. Maybe we haven’t faced five physical kingdoms coming against us,
Today’s story is a story of deception. Joshua and the people of Israel had conquered city after city. The Canaanites were afraid of their powerful God. The Gibeonites didn´t want to fight against Israel and they made a plan to deceive them and force a peace covenant. “But when the

“What is God’s will for my life?” That has been a question I’ve asked myself over and over again, especially when I was younger and thinking about what college I should go to, what job I should pursue, who I should marry and where I should live. And if I’m
The prophet Micah certainly lived in wicked times! The people of Israel sinned against God over and over again. They didn’t want to live as God had commanded them to live, but like the other nations around them. They worshiped idols and disrespected the law God had given them. Their
