Opis

(11 sessions) Behind the historical details and the epic battles recorded in the Book of Joshua lies a covenant of grace, God's promise that He made with Abraham and his descendents forever. Although covering a time span of only about thirty years, the Book of Joshua points forward in time to another Joshua-Jesus of Nazareth-who's coming is significant forever. In both rite and event, Joshua both anticipates the fulfillment of Abraham's promise in Christ. In this study you will learn: the importance of the land promised to Abraham and its connection to and fulfillment in the coming Messiah; the seriousness of sin as exemplified by the destruction of the great city of Jericho and of the inhabitants of Canaan; the sweetness of God's grace as shown to those finding sanctuary in the cities of refuge and especially to Rahab and her family."
