Title: The Peril of Walking By Sight

Key Question: What can believers in the Lord Jesus Christ learn from the deception of the Gibeonites?

Brief: The story in Joshua 9 is interesting and entertaining, BUT alarming. The application today to the believer in the Lord Jesus is vitally important, for we must be aware of the strategies of the enemy. There are 2 different strategies by the people of the land of Canaan. First, "ALL" the kings have a summit to plan to FIGHT with the children of Israel. The second strategy is DECEPTION. Both are very dangerous, but one is more easily fallen to than the other. We will see the Aggressors, the Appeasers, Israel's Acceptance, and finally, the Application.

Key Scriptures: Joshua 9:1-15; Deuteronomy 7:1-2; 20:10-16; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 5:7; Ephesians 6:10-18
