March 23 Lesson: Joshua 11
This lesson is a bit mind-blowing, y’all! Some of the questions in the course are listed below. If anyone has thoughts, questions, or resources to share concerning these issues, please post them, along with your personal insights.
1. In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel is blessed, and surrounding nations are not. The curses explained in previous books are a result of deliberate and fully informed rejection of God’s blessings and refusal to submit to his authority. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Was his judgment of nations in the book of Joshua always a collective judgment, or did He also judge individuals? Today, are some nations blessed and others cursed. Is God’s judgment collective or individual?
3. When we hear political arguments about current political issues, like the war in Ukraine, deportation, and Gaza, how do we converse in a way that reflects both the compassionate, merciful nature of God and His holiness and righteousness?
4. As a nation, what can we learn from Ancient Israel’s pact with the Gibeonites about forming alliances with weak, corrupt nations whose leadership is deceitful?
5. How can we teach future generations about tolerance, acceptance, and diversity in a way that acknowledges the lordship of Christ?
6. Does each of us have an individual responsibility to make sure future generations have a clear understanding of the nature of God? If so, what specific steps can we take to fulfill this responsibility?
