Joshua 6:21 // Hard Verse, Great God

This sermon wrestles honestly with the difficult verse in Joshua 6:21, showing how its severity reveals God’s justice, impartiality, mercy, and grace. It explains why God judged Jericho’s deep, longstanding wickedness while also giving the city time and opportunity to repent. Even the hardest parts of the passage—including the death of children—are explored through the lens of God’s eternal mercy and the hope He provides. And it asks: What if even the hardest verses of Scripture are meant to reveal more of God’s goodness than we expect?
