The Bible

Greg Lanier explains how New Testament authors used the Old Testament to communicate the gospel and present the person and work of Jesus.

Settling into the Promised Land, the people of Israel are faced with two realities: they can finally rest, and they still have work to do.

As the people of Israel begin to take the Promised Land, their ability to have a strong and courageous obedience to God is tested.

In Joshua 1-5, the people of God must look back to remember what God has done in order to faithfully face what is yet come.

God’s charge to “be strong and courageous” gives us a model for how to live now, already justified in Christ but still awaiting his return.

To love someone, you have to know them. And if we desire to love God, we must look where he has mostly clearly revealed himself—his Word.
