About this episode
The episode discusses God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Israel as they enter the Promised Land after years of wandering.
In today’s message entitled THE CONQUEST, we’ll be looking at the story of God’s people finally coming into possession of the Promised Land after 40 long years in the wilderness. We live in a world of broken promises. We’ve been let down by leaders, friends, and even our own strength. When we look at the mess of our lives, or the mess in the Book of Joshua, we wonder: Where is God? Is He actually in control? Sometimes we feel like we’re stuck in a "wilderness" of waiting, wondering if we will ever truly "possess" what has God promised. To understand how we can trust God today, we can look back at how He finished what He started with Israel. After years of wandering and warfare, Joshua stands at the end of his life and looks back at the "Big Story." He doesn't point to his own leadership; he points to God’s faithfulness. In Joshua 21, Joshua concluded his summary of the conquest by triumphantly declaring that the Lord had faithfully fulfilled every covenant promise made to Israel.
