The book of Joshua is a narrative of great excitement and action which highlights God's faithfulness to keep his promises to his people, yet also highlights the fickleness of humans to uphold their promises. In recent decades this book has also brought up many controversies concerning morality and historical accuracy. In my experience, people either accept this book with ease or wrestle greatly with the contents within. So it was my privilege to be able to teach on the book of Joshua this November and further investigate the narrative and issues within.
Below I have provided the recordings from these teachings and materials that may help you further in your study.
