Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor and evangelist at Trinity Lutheran Church in Denver, CO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Joshua 15:13-63. The allotment to Judah continues with a beautiful account of Caleb and his daughter Achsah and his son-in-law Othniel. These faithful saints serve as examples of courage in God’s promises and boldness in prayer. As Caleb gave generously to his daughter and son-in-law, so God gives lavishly to His children. The people of Judah receive extensive consideration in Joshua 15 as a reminder of their prominence theologically. Though politically they may have been less significant, the fact that the Christ will come from this tribe gives them great importance. “The Promised Land Delivered” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Joshua. After the death of Moses, the LORD remains with His people to bring them into the Promised Land under Joshua. Throughout the book, the LORD proves that not one of His Word falls unfulfilled. Today, the Church has the same confidence that all of God’s promises find their “Yes” in Christ.
