Ken Noakes' Bible Talk "Joshua Promise & Purpose: Unity under Promise" from our Glenbrook morning gathering on 13th June 2021.
What is the value of a promise? For one, a promise can give direction as you look forward to the fulfillment of the promise. And as such it gives purpose to how we conduct ourselves as we move closer to the day that the promise is fulfilled. God’s people Israel acted on the strength of the promise that they would be delivered into a new and good land – a home. Joshua leads them by the hand of God – home. In our Bible talks, we are looking at the extraordinary book of Joshua – a book of promise and purpose. A book that points us forward to the fulfillment of the gospel promise, that in Jesus we will delivered – home. In the meantime, it gives us a clear purpose.
This talk is about how the Israelites confirmed their unity between all the tribes, despite the division across the Jordan River. Their unity was based on their relationship with God, just like how unity for us is based our relationship with Jesus.
