The Old Testament book of Joshua is full of interesting characters, exciting battles, and life or death situations. Did you know that just one Israelite died in the battle for Jericho and why? And did you know that just one person from Jericho and her family were saved, and the apparent loophole in the Old Testament law that allowed for it? In Discovering Joshua you are given at least one Bible study for each chapter, allowing you to start your own Bible study, prepare talks and sermons, or lead a study group. The content of the book is designed to lead to many other places in the Bible, both Old and New, that illuminate the text and provide infinite avenues to Discover the Old Testament for yourself.
Short, relevant and inspirational studies for each chapter of the Bible For speakers, teachers, parents and group leaders.
When Jesus taught us to pray "give us today our daily bread", he wasn't talking about food, but the word; and when God gave Israel manna in the wilderness the significance of it wasn't how it filled the tummy, but to show how God would always provide daily spiritual meat for those that search for it.
To read the Bible is one thing, but to teach it is quite another. Many of us find ourselves having to teach the Bible, either at home to our children, or as lay teachers or ministers or group leaders. It can be exhausting to try and find sustenance in sometimes impenetrable text of the old testament.
Using the Discovering the Old Testament series gives you a framework of Bible thoughts for each chapter of the Bible, allowing you to start discussion, create Bible talks and sermons, or simply dig deeper in your own study.
