Joshua Chapter 24 - Vital Decision
from Exploring the Bible with Scott & Ken Hosted by Scott Allen
Scott Allen leads todays lesson from Joshua 24:14-27. Except for one stark defeat at Ai due to the unfaithfulness of Achan, Joshua has led Israel to victory over the land of Canaan. The promised land is now their inheritance and homeland. But will they be able to keep it? It depends on a vital decision: whether to return to the false ideas of the past, the failed ideas of the people they have just conquered, or to continue to follow the Lord God alone. God has led them out of slavery and safely through the wilderness. But can a sinful people remain true to a holy God? Joshua holds the people accountable to their promise to follow the Lord God wholeheartedly and warns them to be afraid of what will happen if future generations fail to follow God's commands. For as long as he lived, Joshua inspired the people by his firm decision to follow God and the faithful example he left behind. This was a golden age, but dark times were just ahead.
