In His Time...
- Joshua 6:1-26
- Tyson Herald
In this week's message, we'll look at one of the most recognizable accounts in the whole Bible. However, just because it's familiar doesn't mean we still can't learn from it this week. As we look at the life of Joshua, you'll be encouraged to see how God showed up for him and the nation of Israel.
Discussion Questions:
- When Joshua encounters the commander of the Lord’s army (5:13–15), what do you notice about how Joshua approaches him and how the commander responds? What does this moment reveal about who truly leads God’s people into battle and what kind of posture God calls Joshua - and us- to have before Him?
- In chapter 6, as Pastor Tyson discussed, God gives Joshua an unusual battle plan. What do you notice about the instructions God gives and Joshua’s obedience to them? What does this teach us about trusting God even when His ways don’t make sense?
- The walls of Jericho fell only after Israel obeyed God’s command in full. What does that moment reveal about the relationship between faith and obedience?
- Rahab’s story (6:22-25) is a powerful contrast in this passage. What do we learn about God’s mercy and faithfulness through Rahab’s rescue and her scarlet cord?
- The fall of Jericho shows both God’s judgment on sin and His mercy toward those who trust Him. How does this scene point us forward to the cross- where God’s judgment and mercy meet fully in Jesus- and how should that shape the way we live on mission with courage and compassion?
