Scripture: Joshua 9
The Plan
Joshua 5:1 As soon as all the kings…
Make themselves look like they traveled a long way
The Covenant
Covenant appears 5 times
The Lie: We came from far far away
Flattery: We are your servants
The Problem: (v 14) Joshua did not ask God
Joshua believed the lie & the flattery
The Deliverance
Why did you lie?
Gibeonites believed God
Joshua kept his word and delivered the Gibeonites
Gibeonites were still part of Israel 1,000 years later
They became part of God’s family
Take Aways
God’s Word is the authority for our lives.
Is the Bible your daily authority?
Most Christians struggle to read the Bible regularly. Start small!
Do you belong to God’s family?
Accept His invitation to believe and trust Jesus as your Savior
