Synopsis
The book of Joshua is the story of a faithful, covenant-keeping God who fulfills His promises. Generations after promising Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan, God brought Israel into the land He had promised, drove out their enemies before them, and gave His people their inheritance.
In this nine-week study of the book of Joshua, you'll follow Israel as they enter the Promised Land, face their enemies, experience both victory and failure, receive their inheritance, and are called to renewed faithfulness to the Lord. Along the way, you'll discover what Joshua reveals about God's character and what it means for His people to trust and obey Him.
Whether you're new to studying the Bible or have been doing so for years, this study is designed to help you read Scripture with greater understanding and confidence. Each lesson follows a simple three-step approach: Comprehend. Interpret. Apply. You'll first seek to understand what the passage says, then interpret it within the context of Scripture, and finally consider how its truths should shape your life today.
As you work through Joshua, you'll learn to read each passage as part of the larger story of Scripture. You'll see how God's faithfulness to Israel points beyond itself to the greater work of Jesus Christ—the One through whom God fulfills His promises, defeats our greatest enemies, and secures an eternal inheritance for His people.
Whether you're opening the Bible for the first time or have been studying it for years, Joshua: Pursuing the Promises of God will help you know God more deeply through His Word while equipping you to faithfully study the Scriptures for years to come.
