New Series the Book of Joshua

The book of Joshua is a book of CONQUEST, a testimony of triumph in possessing a God-given inheritance. When action is added to faith the promises of God become reality.

James stated the principle “…faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26) Under the ministry of Moses the promises of God had been proclaimed on many occasions. Now under the leadership of Joshua, the time had come for Israel to take action. Often our Christian Walk is one of confusion and defeat, not because we fail to believe God’s promises, but because we feel powerless to conquer and to possess our inheritance. Let us enter into our study of the book of Joshua with a determination to partake of Joshua’s conquering spirit, for through Christ we have been called “more than conquerors”! (Romans 8:37) 

From the beginning Joshua is a book of movement. The action of the book can be divided into three important phases:

1. ENTERING THE LAND                  (Chapters 1-5)
2. CONQUERING THE LAND            (Chapters 6-12)
3. OCCUPYING THE LAND               (Chapters 13-24)

Joshua was approximately 80 years of age when he succeeded Moses as leader of Israel. During the 40 years in the wilderness he had shown himself to be both a faithful servant to Moses and an able leader of the people. For the history of God’s preparation of Joshua and the nation of Israel for entering the Promised Land, see the Christian Worker Bible Study entitled “Entering Into the Promised Land.”

The first chapter of Joshua begins with a record of the same event which closes the book of Deuteronomy the death of Moses. The death of Moses was not to be considered an ending for Israel, but rather a beginning.
