SEASON 06 | joshua: god doesn’t take sides

Joshua is full of stories that are tough to interpret and understand in our modern sensibilities, but we enter into this territory by seeking to understand how the stories we encounter in Joshua were understood at their own time. We explore the depth of Scripture and how it speaks to God's goodness even when it’s difficult and we have questions and need to wrestle with it. 

Ultimately, we look back on this story in the time after Jesus’ death and resurrection. The judgement of sin, punishment for evil, and condemnation of heinous choices is complete. It is finished. It has been definitively dealt with on the cross where Jesus died and was then raised to life. Destruction does not have to be our fate, but deliverance is ours in Jesus.
