  This
• 0:00
  is
• 0:00
  the
• 0:00
  Dwelling
• 0:01
  Place
• 0:01
  from
• 0:01
  Entrusted
• 0:01
  Ministries.
• 0:02
  And
• 0:02
  I'm
• 0:03
  Stephanie
• 0:03
  Hickox.
• 0:04
  I
• 0:04
  know
• 0:04
  it's
• 0:04
  Easter
• 0:04
  week
• 0:05
  and
• 0:05
  I
• 0:05
  might
• 0:05
  feel
• 0:05
  a
• 0:05
  little
• 0:06
  bit
• 0:06
  odd
• 0:06
  to
• 0:06
  continue
• 0:07
  on
• 0:07
  our
• 0:07
  normal
• 0:07
  chronological
• 0:08
  plan
• 0:09
  when
• 0:09
  we
• 0:09
  want
• 0:09
  to
• 0:09
  give
• 0:09
  special
• 0:10
  attention
• 0:10
  to
• 0:10
  Christ.
• 0:11
  I'm
• 0:11
  fully
• 0:11
  aware
• 0:12
  of
• 0:12
  that,
• 0:12
  but
• 0:12
  as
• 0:12
  I
• 0:12
  was
• 0:13
  pulling
• 0:13
  some
• 0:13
  different
• 0:14
  moms.
• 0:14
  They
• 0:14
  encouraged
• 0:15
  me
• 0:15
  to
• 0:15
  continue
• 0:15
  with
• 0:16
  the
• 0:16
  normal
• 0:16
  reading
• 0:16
  schedule
• 0:17
  and
• 0:17
  point
• 0:17
  to
• 0:18
  Christ
• 0:18
  as
• 0:18
  much
• 0:18
  as
• 0:18
  possible
• 0:19
  so
• 0:19
  we
• 0:19
  don't
• 0:19
  lose
• 0:20
  momentum.
• 0:20
  I
• 0:21
  know
• 0:21
  you're
• 0:21
  busy
• 0:21
  doing
• 0:21
  all
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  things
• 0:23
  plus
• 0:23
  the
• 0:23
  extras
• 0:23
  that
• 0:24
  Easter
• 0:24
  brings,
• 0:25
  but
• 0:25
  I
• 0:25
  hope
• 0:25
  that
• 0:25
  you
• 0:25
  can
• 0:26
  continue
• 0:26
  listening
• 0:26
  to
• 0:27
  God's
• 0:27
  word
• 0:27
  let's
• 0:28
  be
• 0:28
  honest.
• 0:28
  Today's
• 0:29
  reading
• 0:29
  of
• 0:29
  Joshua
• 0:30
  21
• 0:30
  through
• 0:30
  24
• 0:31
  is
• 0:31
  a
• 0:31
  little
• 0:32
  bit
• 0:32
  drier.
• 0:33
  It's
• 0:33
  all
• 0:33
  geography
• 0:34
  and
• 0:34
  land
• 0:34
  allotments,
• 0:35
  but
• 0:35
  God
• 0:35
  has
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  purpose
• 0:36
  for
• 0:36
  every
• 0:37
  word
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  scripture.
• 0:38
  Let's
• 0:38
  press
• 0:38
  in
• 0:39
  to
• 0:39
  learn
• 0:39
  what
• 0:39
  even
• 0:40
  surveying
• 0:41
  and
• 0:41
  land
• 0:41
  apportioning
• 0:42
  can
• 0:42
  tell
• 0:42
  us
• 0:42
  about
• 0:42
  the
• 0:43
  character
• 0:43
  of
• 0:43
  God.
• 0:44
  Whenever
• 0:44
  I
• 0:44
  see
• 0:44
  these
• 0:44
  large
• 0:45
  portions
• 0:45
  of
• 0:45
  scripture
• 0:46
  that
• 0:46
  are
• 0:46
  genealogies
• 0:47
  or
• 0:47
  geography
• 0:48
  or
• 0:48
  lists
• 0:48
  or
• 0:48
  details,
• 0:49
  what
• 0:49
  I
• 0:50
  feel
• 0:50
  resoundingly
• 0:51
  is
• 0:51
  this
• 0:52
  is
• 0:52
  real.
• 0:53
  This
• 0:53
  really
• 0:53
  happened.
• 0:54
  If
• 0:54
  someone
• 0:55
  were
• 0:55
  making
• 0:55
  up
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  religion,
• 0:56
  would
• 0:56
  it
• 0:56
  have
• 0:57
  so
• 0:57
  much
• 0:57
  detail?
• 0:58
  I
• 0:58
  mean,
• 0:58
  don't
• 0:58
  you
• 0:58
  think
• 0:59
  that
• 0:59
  God
• 0:59
  knew
• 0:59
  that
• 1:00
  these
• 1:00
  portions
• 1:00
  of
• 1:00
  scripture
• 1:01
  might
• 1:01
  not
• 1:01
  feel
• 1:02
  as
• 1:02
  riveting
• 1:02
  or
• 1:03
  encouraging
• 1:03
  or
• 1:03
  practical
• 1:04
  as
• 1:04
  other
• 1:04
  portions,
• 1:05
  but
• 1:05
  he
• 1:05
  has
• 1:06
  a
• 1:06
  purpose
• 1:06
  for
• 1:06
  all
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  it.
• 1:07
  It
• 1:07
  gives
• 1:07
  us
• 1:08
  historical
• 1:08
  detail.
• 1:09
  And
• 1:09
  provides
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  basis
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  confirm
• 1:11
  so
• 1:11
  many
• 1:11
  archeological
• 1:12
  discoveries
• 1:13
  every
• 1:13
  word
• 1:14
  will
• 1:14
  accomplish
• 1:15
  his
• 1:15
  purposes.
• 1:16
  Geography
• 1:17
  matters.
• 1:17
  Most
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  wars
• 1:18
  that
• 1:18
  have
• 1:18
  occurred
• 1:19
  in
• 1:19
  history
• 1:19
  have
• 1:20
  been
• 1:20
  caused
• 1:20
  by
• 1:20
  someone
• 1:21
  trying
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  take
• 1:22
  over
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  territory
• 1:23
  or
• 1:23
  trying
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  win
• 1:24
  back
• 1:24
  a
• 1:24
  territory
• 1:25
  but
• 1:25
  amidst
• 1:26
  all
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  these
• 1:26
  land
• 1:26
  allotments,
• 1:27
  I'm
• 1:27
  going
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  share
• 1:27
  some
• 1:28
  verses
• 1:28
  that
• 1:28
  stood
• 1:29
  out
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  me,
• 1:29
  chapter
• 1:30
  17
• 1:30
  verses
• 1:31
  12
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  13.
• 1:32
  Yet
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  people
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  Manassa
• 1:33
  could
• 1:34
  not
• 1:34
  take
• 1:34
  possession
• 1:34
  of
• 1:35
  those
• 1:35
  cities,
• 1:35
  but
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  Canaanites
• 1:36
  persisted
• 1:37
  in
• 1:37
  dwelling
• 1:37
  in
• 1:38
  that
• 1:38
  land.
• 1:38
  Now,
• 1:39
  when
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  people
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  Israel
• 1:40
  grew
• 1:40
  strong,
• 1:40
  they
• 1:40
  put
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  Canaanites
• 1:42
  to
• 1:42
  force
• 1:42
  labor,
• 1:43
  but
• 1:43
  did
• 1:43
  not
• 1:43
  utterly
• 1:44
  drive
• 1:44
  them
• 1:44
  out.
• 1:44
  There
• 1:45
  is
• 1:45
  definitely
• 1:45
  foreshadowing
• 1:46
  going
• 1:46
  on
• 1:47
  here
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  what's
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  come
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  17,
• 1:49
  17
• 1:49
  through
• 1:49
  18
• 1:50
  then
• 1:50
  Joshua
• 1:51
  said
• 1:51
  to
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  house
• 1:52
  of
• 1:52
  Joseph,
• 1:52
  to
• 1:53
  Rai
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  Vanessa,
• 1:54
  you
• 1:54
  are
• 1:54
  a
• 1:54
  numerous
• 1:55
  people
• 1:55
  and
• 1:55
  have
• 1:55
  great
• 1:55
  power.
• 1:56
  You
• 1:56
  shall
• 1:57
  not
• 1:57
  have
• 1:57
  one
• 1:57
  allotment
• 1:58
  only,
• 1:58
  but
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  hill
• 1:59
  country
• 1:59
  shall
• 1:59
  be
• 1:59
  yours.
• 2:00
  For
• 2:00
  though
• 2:00
  it
• 2:01
  is
• 2:01
  a
• 2:01
  forest,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:02
  shall
• 2:02
  clear
• 2:02
  it
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  possess
• 2:03
  it
• 2:03
  to
• 2:03
  its
• 2:03
  farthest
• 2:04
  borders.
• 2:05
  for
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  shall
• 2:05
  drive
• 2:05
  out
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  Canaanites.
• 2:06
  Though
• 2:07
  they
• 2:07
  have
• 2:07
  chariots
• 2:07
  of
• 2:08
  iron
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  though
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  are
• 2:08
  strong,
• 2:09
  we
• 2:10
  can
• 2:10
  do
• 2:10
  hard
• 2:10
  things
• 2:11
  in
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  Lord's
• 2:11
  strength.
• 2:12
  When
• 2:12
  God
• 2:12
  has
• 2:12
  called
• 2:12
  you
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  something,
• 2:13
  don't
• 2:14
  hold
• 2:14
  back
• 2:14
  because
• 2:15
  you
• 2:15
  see
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  opposition
• 2:16
  Most
• 2:16
  often
• 2:17
  I
• 2:17
  find
• 2:17
  there
• 2:17
  is
• 2:18
  opposition
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  what
• 2:19
  God
• 2:19
  is
• 2:19
  calling
• 2:19
  me
• 2:19
  to.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  nothing
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  has
• 2:21
  been
• 2:21
  worth
• 2:21
  it
• 2:21
  has
• 2:22
  ever
• 2:22
  been
• 2:22
  easy
• 2:23
  in
• 2:23
  chapter
• 2:23
  18.
• 2:24
  Then
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  whole
• 2:25
  congregation
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  people
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  Israel
• 2:27
  assembled
• 2:28
  up
• 2:28
  Shiloh
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  set
• 2:29
  up
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  tentative
• 2:29
  meeting
• 2:30
  there,
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  land
• 2:31
  lay
• 2:31
  subdued
• 2:31
  before
• 2:32
  them.
• 2:32
  There
• 2:32
  remained
• 2:33
  among
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  people
• 2:33
  of
• 2:33
  Israel,
• 2:34
  seven
• 2:35
  tribes
• 2:35
  whose
• 2:35
  inheritance
• 2:36
  had
• 2:36
  not
• 2:36
  yet
• 2:37
  been
• 2:37
  apportioned.
• 2:37
  So
• 2:38
  Joshua
• 2:38
  said
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  people
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  Israel,
• 2:39
  how
• 2:40
  long
• 2:40
  will
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  put
• 2:40
  off
• 2:41
  going
• 2:41
  in
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  take
• 2:41
  possession
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  land?
• 2:42
  Which
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  Lord,
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  God
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  your
• 2:44
  fathers
• 2:44
  has
• 2:45
  given
• 2:45
  you.
• 2:45
  Provide
• 2:46
  three
• 2:46
  men
• 2:46
  from
• 2:47
  each
• 2:47
  tribe
• 2:47
  and
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  will
• 2:48
  send
• 2:48
  them
• 2:48
  out
• 2:49
  that
• 2:49
  they
• 2:49
  may
• 2:49
  set
• 2:50
  out
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  go
• 2:50
  up
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  down
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  land.
• 2:52
  They
• 2:52
  shall
• 2:52
  write
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  description
• 2:53
  of
• 2:53
  it
• 2:53
  with
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  view
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  their
• 2:54
  inheritances,
• 2:55
  and
• 2:55
  then
• 2:55
  come
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  me.
• 2:56
  They
• 2:56
  shall
• 2:57
  divide
• 2:57
  it
• 2:57
  into
• 2:57
  seven
• 2:58
  portions.
• 2:59
  Judas
• 2:59
  shall
• 2:59
  continue
• 3:00
  in
• 3:00
  his
• 3:00
  territory
• 3:00
  on
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  south,
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  house
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  Joseph
• 3:02
  shall
• 3:02
  continue
• 3:03
  in
• 3:03
  their
• 3:03
  territory
• 3:04
  on
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  north.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:05
  you
• 3:05
  shall
• 3:05
  describe
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  land
• 3:06
  in
• 3:06
  seven
• 3:06
  divisions.
• 3:07
  And
• 3:07
  bring
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  description
• 3:08
  here
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  me
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  will
• 3:09
  cast
• 3:10
  lots
• 3:10
  for
• 3:10
  you
• 3:10
  here
• 3:10
  before
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  Lord
• 3:11
  our
• 3:11
  God.
• 3:12
  The
• 3:12
  Levites
• 3:12
  have
• 3:12
  no
• 3:13
  portion
• 3:13
  among
• 3:13
  you
• 3:13
  for
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  priesthood
• 3:14
  of
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  Lord
• 3:15
  is
• 3:15
  their
• 3:15
  heritage.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  Gad
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  Ruben
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  half
• 3:18
  tribe
• 3:18
  of
• 3:18
  Manasses
• 3:19
  have
• 3:19
  received
• 3:19
  their
• 3:19
  inheritance
• 3:20
  beyond
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  Jordan
• 3:21
  eastward,
• 3:21
  which
• 3:22
  Moses
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  servant
• 3:23
  of
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  Lord
• 3:23
  gave
• 3:23
  them.
• 3:24
  So
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  men,
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  Rosen
• 3:25
  went
• 3:25
  and
• 3:25
  Joshua
• 3:26
  charged
• 3:26
  those
• 3:26
  who
• 3:27
  went
• 3:27
  to
• 3:27
  write
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  description
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  land,
• 3:28
  saying,
• 3:29
  go
• 3:29
  up
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  down
• 3:30
  in
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  land
• 3:30
  and
• 3:31
  write
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  description
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  return
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  me.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:32
  I
• 3:33
  will
• 3:33
  cast
• 3:33
  lots
• 3:33
  for
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  here
• 3:34
  before
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  Lord
• 3:35
  in
• 3:35
  Shiloh.
• 3:35
  So
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  men
• 3:36
  went
• 3:36
  up
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  passed
• 3:37
  up
• 3:37
  and
• 3:38
  down
• 3:38
  in
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  land
• 3:38
  and
• 3:39
  wrote
• 3:39
  in
• 3:39
  a
• 3:39
  book,
• 3:39
  a
• 3:39
  description
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  it
• 3:40
  by
• 3:40
  towns
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  seven
• 3:42
  divisions.
• 3:42
  Then
• 3:43
  they
• 3:43
  came
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  Joshua,
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  camp
• 3:44
  at
• 3:44
  Shiloh
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  Joshua,
• 3:45
  cast
• 3:46
  lots
• 3:46
  for
• 3:46
  them
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  Shiloh
• 3:47
  before
• 3:47
  the
• 3:48
  Lord.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  there
• 3:48
  Joshua
• 3:49
  apportioned
• 3:49
  the
• 3:50
  land
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  people
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  Israel
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  each
• 3:51
  his
• 3:52
  portion.
• 3:53
  This
• 3:53
  is
• 3:53
  so
• 3:53
  fair
• 3:53
  and
• 3:54
  reasonable,
• 3:54
  isn't
• 3:54
  it?
• 3:55
  And
• 3:55
  this
• 3:55
  is
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  really
• 3:56
  simplistic
• 3:56
  mom
• 3:57
  analogy,
• 3:57
  but
• 3:57
  if
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  had
• 3:58
  something
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  divide
• 3:59
  amongst
• 3:59
  my
• 3:59
  four
• 3:59
  kids
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  divided
• 4:01
  it
• 4:01
  into
• 4:01
  four
• 4:01
  equal
• 4:02
  pieces,
• 4:02
  it
• 4:02
  makes
• 4:03
  me
• 4:03
  think
• 4:03
  of
• 4:03
  making
• 4:03
  sure
• 4:04
  that
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  agree
• 4:04
  that
• 4:05
  each
• 4:05
  piece
• 4:05
  is
• 4:05
  good
• 4:06
  before
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  let
• 4:07
  them
• 4:07
  pick.
• 4:07
  Which
• 4:07
  they
• 4:07
  get.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:08
  Joshua
• 4:09
  is
• 4:09
  sending
• 4:09
  someone
• 4:09
  from
• 4:10
  each
• 4:10
  tribe.
• 4:11
  They're
• 4:11
  all
• 4:11
  describing
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  land
• 4:12
  so
• 4:12
  none
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  tribes
• 4:13
  gets
• 4:13
  to
• 4:14
  grumble
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  complain
• 4:15
  later
• 4:15
  on
• 4:15
  because
• 4:16
  each
• 4:16
  of
• 4:16
  their
• 4:16
  tribes
• 4:16
  had
• 4:17
  representatives
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  process.
• 4:19
  In
• 4:19
  chapter
• 4:19
  18,
• 4:20
  It
• 4:20
  talks
• 4:21
  about
• 4:21
  Shiloh.
• 4:22
  Shiloh
• 4:22
  was
• 4:22
  about
• 4:22
  20
• 4:23
  miles
• 4:23
  north
• 4:23
  of
• 4:24
  Jerusalem
• 4:24
  for
• 4:25
  several
• 4:25
  centuries.
• 4:25
  It
• 4:26
  would
• 4:26
  be
• 4:26
  where
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  tabernacle
• 4:27
  was
• 4:27
  set
• 4:27
  up
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  where
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  arc
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  covenant
• 4:29
  would
• 4:29
  remain
• 4:30
  In
• 4:30
  19
• 4:30
  nine,
• 4:31
  it's
• 4:31
  explained
• 4:32
  why
• 4:32
  Simeon
• 4:33
  has
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  chunk
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  land
• 4:34
  right
• 4:34
  in
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  middle
• 4:34
  of
• 4:35
  Judas,
• 4:35
  and
• 4:35
  it's
• 4:36
  always
• 4:36
  amazing
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  me
• 4:37
  how
• 4:37
  even
• 4:38
  though
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  name
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  Jesus
• 4:39
  is
• 4:39
  not
• 4:39
  written
• 4:40
  in
• 4:40
  these
• 4:40
  pages
• 4:41
  of
• 4:41
  Joshua
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  today's
• 4:42
  reading,
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  saw
• 4:42
  a
• 4:43
  selfless
• 4:43
  example
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  leadership
• 4:45
  that
• 4:45
  certainly
• 4:45
  pointed
• 4:45
  to
• 4:46
  Christ.
• 4:46
  It's
• 4:46
  God's
• 4:47
  kindness
• 4:47
  that
• 4:47
  continues
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  reveal
• 4:48
  that
• 4:49
  all
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  promises
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  scripture.
• 4:50
  Our
• 4:50
  Yes
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  amen
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  Jesus
• 4:51
  Christ.
• 4:52
  In
• 4:52
  chapter
• 4:53
  1949
• 4:54
  through
• 4:54
  50,
• 4:54
  were
• 4:54
  told
• 4:55
  when
• 4:55
  they
• 4:55
  had
• 4:55
  finished
• 4:56
  distributing
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  several
• 4:57
  territories
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  land
• 4:58
  as
• 4:59
  inheritances,
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  people
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  Israel
• 5:01
  gave
• 5:01
  an
• 5:01
  inheritance
• 5:02
  among
• 5:02
  them
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  Joshua,
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  son
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  none.
• 5:04
  By
• 5:04
  command
• 5:04
  of
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  Lord,
• 5:05
  they
• 5:05
  gave
• 5:05
  him
• 5:05
  the
• 5:06
  city
• 5:06
  that
• 5:06
  he
• 5:06
  asked.
• 5:07
  Tim
• 5:07
  Nth
• 5:07
  rah
• 5:08
  in
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  hill
• 5:08
  country
• 5:09
  of
• 5:09
  Eum,
• 5:09
  and
• 5:10
  he
• 5:10
  rebuilt
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  city
• 5:11
  and
• 5:11
  settled
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  it.
• 5:12
  It
• 5:12
  says
• 5:12
  when
• 5:12
  they
• 5:13
  finished
• 5:13
  distributing
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  land,
• 5:14
  this
• 5:15
  means
• 5:15
  Joshua
• 5:16
  was
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  last
• 5:16
  to
• 5:17
  receive
• 5:17
  his
• 5:17
  land
• 5:17
  inheritance.
• 5:18
  Instead
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  using
• 5:19
  his
• 5:19
  position
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  leadership
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  secure
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  best,
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  most
• 5:22
  lush
• 5:23
  and
• 5:23
  fruitful,
• 5:24
  he
• 5:24
  waits
• 5:24
  till
• 5:24
  the
• 5:25
  very
• 5:25
  end
• 5:25
  making
• 5:26
  sure
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  all
• 5:27
  of
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  tribes
• 5:27
  are
• 5:27
  faithful
• 5:28
  in
• 5:28
  what
• 5:28
  God
• 5:28
  called
• 5:29
  them
• 5:29
  to.
• 5:29
  And
• 5:29
  I
• 5:29
  can't
• 5:30
  help
• 5:30
  but
• 5:30
  think
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  our
• 5:30
  servant
• 5:31
  leader,
• 5:31
  Jesus
• 5:31
  Christ,
• 5:32
  particularly
• 5:33
  on
• 5:33
  Easter
• 5:33
  week
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  night
• 5:35
  before
• 5:35
  he
• 5:35
  died,
• 5:36
  when
• 5:36
  he
• 5:36
  was
• 5:36
  preparing
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  last
• 5:37
  supper.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  preparing
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  make
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  greatest
• 5:39
  sacrifice
• 5:40
  anyone
• 5:40
  could
• 5:40
  ever
• 5:41
  make,
• 5:41
  let's
• 5:41
  hear
• 5:42
  exactly
• 5:42
  what
• 5:42
  he
• 5:42
  did
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  John
• 5:43
  chapter
• 5:44
  13,
• 5:44
  beginning
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  verse
• 5:45
  one.
• 5:46
  Now
• 5:46
  before
• 5:46
  the
• 5:47
  feast
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  Passover,
• 5:48
  when
• 5:48
  Jesus
• 5:49
  knew
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  his
• 5:49
  hour
• 5:50
  had
• 5:50
  come
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  depart
• 5:51
  out
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  this
• 5:51
  swirl
• 5:51
  to
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  father.
• 5:52
  Having
• 5:53
  loved
• 5:53
  his
• 5:53
  own
• 5:54
  who
• 5:54
  were
• 5:54
  in
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  world,
• 5:55
  he
• 5:55
  loved
• 5:55
  them
• 5:55
  to
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  end
• 5:56
  During
• 5:57
  supper,
• 5:57
  when
• 5:57
  the
• 5:58
  devil
• 5:58
  had
• 5:58
  already
• 5:59
  put
• 5:59
  it
• 5:59
  into
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  heart
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  Judases
• 6:00
  Chariot,
• 6:01
  Simon's
• 6:01
  son,
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  betray
• 6:02
  him.
• 6:02
  Jesus,
• 6:03
  knowing
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  father
• 6:04
  had
• 6:05
  given
• 6:05
  all
• 6:05
  things
• 6:06
  into
• 6:06
  his
• 6:06
  hands
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  he
• 6:07
  had
• 6:07
  come
• 6:07
  from
• 6:08
  God
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  was
• 6:09
  going
• 6:09
  back
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  God,
• 6:10
  rose
• 6:10
  from
• 6:10
  supper,
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  laid
• 6:11
  aside
• 6:12
  his
• 6:12
  outer
• 6:12
  garments
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  taking
• 6:13
  a
• 6:14
  towel,
• 6:14
  tied
• 6:14
  it
• 6:15
  around
• 6:15
  his
• 6:15
  waist.
• 6:16
  Then
• 6:16
  he
• 6:16
  poured
• 6:16
  water
• 6:17
  into
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  basin
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  began
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  wash
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  disciple's
• 6:19
  feet
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  wipe
• 6:21
  them
• 6:21
  with
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  towel
• 6:21
  that
• 6:22
  was
• 6:22
  wrapped
• 6:22
  around
• 6:22
  him.
• 6:23
  He
• 6:23
  came
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  Simon
• 6:24
  Peter
• 6:24
  who
• 6:24
  said
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  him,
• 6:25
  Lord,
• 6:25
  do
• 6:25
  you
• 6:26
  wash
• 6:26
  my
• 6:26
  feet?
• 6:27
  Jesus
• 6:27
  answered
• 6:28
  him.
• 6:28
  What
• 6:28
  I
• 6:29
  am
• 6:29
  doing,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  do
• 6:29
  not
• 6:30
  understand
• 6:30
  now,
• 6:30
  but
• 6:30
  afterward
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  will
• 6:31
  understand.

  Peter
• 6:33
  said
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  him,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:34
  shall
• 6:34
  never
• 6:34
  wash
• 6:34
  my
• 6:35
  feet.
• 6:35
  Jesus
• 6:36
  answered
• 6:36
  him.
• 6:36
  If
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  do
• 6:37
  not
• 6:37
  wash
• 6:37
  you,
• 6:38
  You
• 6:38
  have
• 6:38
  no
• 6:38
  share
• 6:38
  with
• 6:39
  me.
• 6:39
  Simon
• 6:40
  Peter
• 6:40
  said
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  him,
• 6:41
  Lord,
• 6:41
  not
• 6:41
  my
• 6:41
  feet
• 6:42
  only,
• 6:42
  but
• 6:42
  also
• 6:43
  my
• 6:43
  hands
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  my
• 6:44
  head.
• 6:44
  Jesus
• 6:45
  said
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  him,
• 6:45
  the
• 6:46
  one
• 6:46
  who
• 6:46
  has
• 6:46
  bathed
• 6:47
  does
• 6:47
  not
• 6:47
  need
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  wash
• 6:48
  except
• 6:48
  for
• 6:48
  his
• 6:49
  feet,
• 6:49
  but
• 6:49
  is
• 6:50
  completely
• 6:50
  clean
• 6:51
  and
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  are
• 6:51
  clean,
• 6:52
  but
• 6:52
  not
• 6:52
  every
• 6:52
  one
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  you.
• 6:53
  For
• 6:53
  he
• 6:54
  knew
• 6:54
  who
• 6:54
  was
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  betray
• 6:55
  him.
• 6:55
  That
• 6:56
  was
• 6:56
  why
• 6:56
  he
• 6:56
  said,
• 6:57
  not
• 6:57
  all
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  are
• 6:57
  clean.
• 6:58
  Our
• 6:59
  Lord
• 6:59
  knew
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  Judas
• 7:00
  was
• 7:00
  going
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  betray
• 7:01
  him
• 7:01
  in
• 7:02
  just
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  few
• 7:02
  short
• 7:03
  moments,
• 7:03
  but
• 7:03
  he
• 7:04
  still
• 7:04
  served
• 7:04
  him
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  washed
• 7:05
  his
• 7:05
  feet.
• 7:06
  He
• 7:06
  was
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  servant
• 7:07
  leader
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  every
• 7:08
  sense
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  at
• 7:09
  every
• 7:09
  opportunity,
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  because
• 7:11
  we
• 7:11
  know
• 7:11
  that
• 7:11
  God
• 7:11
  is
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  same
• 7:12
  yesterday,
• 7:13
  today,
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  forever.
• 7:14
  I
• 7:14
  see
• 7:14
  Joshua
• 7:15
  falling
• 7:15
  in
• 7:15
  his
• 7:15
  example,
• 7:16
  but
• 7:16
  also
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  God
• 7:17
  giving
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  people
• 7:18
  all
• 7:19
  of
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  land
• 7:19
  that
• 7:19
  he
• 7:19
  promised
• 7:20
  them,
• 7:20
  even
• 7:21
  though
• 7:21
  he
• 7:21
  knows
• 7:22
  they're
• 7:22
  going
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  follow
• 7:23
  after
• 7:24
  Canaanite
• 7:24
  idols
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  false
• 7:25
  gods,
• 7:26
  but
• 7:26
  God
• 7:26
  doesn't
• 7:26
  withhold
• 7:27
  his
• 7:27
  blessing.
• 7:28
  He
• 7:28
  gives
• 7:28
  them
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  opportunity
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  stay
• 7:30
  faithful
• 7:30
  to
• 7:30
  him.
• 7:31
  And
• 7:31
  when
• 7:31
  they
• 7:31
  fall
• 7:32
  as
• 7:32
  he
• 7:32
  knew
• 7:32
  they
• 7:33
  would,
• 7:33
  he'll
• 7:33
  send
• 7:34
  judges
• 7:34
  and
• 7:34
  kings
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  prophets
• 7:36
  until
• 7:36
  finally
• 7:37
  he
• 7:37
  has
• 7:37
  proved
• 7:38
  there
• 7:38
  is
• 7:38
  no
• 7:38
  other
• 7:39
  way
• 7:39
  for
• 7:39
  man
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  be
• 7:39
  saved
• 7:40
  except
• 7:40
  for
• 7:41
  God
• 7:41
  himself,
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  come
• 7:42
  in
• 7:42
  human
• 7:43
  flesh
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  rescue.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:45
  we
• 7:45
  continue
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  see
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  only
• 7:47
  in
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  God
• 7:47
  of
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  Bible
• 7:48
  can
• 7:48
  justice
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  mercy
• 7:49
  coexist
• 7:50
  so
• 7:50
  perfectly.
• 7:51
  His
• 7:51
  design
• 7:51
  of
• 7:52
  setting
• 7:52
  up
• 7:52
  cities
• 7:52
  of
• 7:52
  refuge
• 7:53
  in
• 7:53
  chapter
• 7:53
  20
• 7:54
  really
• 7:54
  display
• 7:55
  this
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  me.
• 7:56
  Then
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  Lord
• 7:56
  said
• 7:56
  to
• 7:57
  Joshua,
• 7:57
  say
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  people
• 7:58
  of
• 7:58
  Israel,
• 7:59
  appoint
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  cities
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  refuge,
• 8:00
  of
• 8:01
  which
• 8:01
  I
• 8:01
  spoke
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  through
• 8:02
  Moses,
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  the
• 8:03
  manslayer
• 8:03
  who
• 8:03
  strikes
• 8:04
  any
• 8:04
  person
• 8:04
  without
• 8:05
  intent
• 8:06
  or
• 8:06
  unknowingly
• 8:07
  may
• 8:07
  flee.
• 8:07
  There
• 8:08
  they
• 8:08
  shall
• 8:08
  be
• 8:08
  for
• 8:08
  you,
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  refuge
• 8:10
  from
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  avenger
• 8:10
  of
• 8:10
  blood.
• 8:11
  He
• 8:11
  shall
• 8:11
  flee
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  one
• 8:12
  of
• 8:12
  these
• 8:12
  cities
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  shall
• 8:13
  stand
• 8:14
  at
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  entrance
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  gate
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  city
• 8:15
  and
• 8:16
  explain
• 8:16
  his
• 8:16
  case
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  elders
• 8:17
  of
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  city.
• 8:18
  Then
• 8:18
  they
• 8:18
  shall
• 8:19
  take
• 8:19
  him
• 8:19
  into
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  city
• 8:20
  and
• 8:20
  give
• 8:20
  him
• 8:20
  a
• 8:20
  place,
• 8:21
  and
• 8:21
  they
• 8:21
  shall
• 8:21
  not
• 8:22
  give
• 8:22
  up
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  manslayer
• 8:23
  into
• 8:23
  his
• 8:23
  hand
• 8:23
  because
• 8:24
  he
• 8:24
  struck
• 8:24
  his
• 8:24
  neighbor
• 8:25
  unknowingly
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  did
• 8:26
  not
• 8:26
  hate
• 8:27
  him
• 8:27
  in
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  past.
• 8:28
  And
• 8:28
  he
• 8:28
  shall
• 8:28
  remain
• 8:29
  in
• 8:29
  that
• 8:29
  city
• 8:30
  until
• 8:30
  he
• 8:30
  has
• 8:30
  stood
• 8:30
  before
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  congregation
• 8:31
  for
• 8:32
  judgment
• 8:32
  until
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  death
• 8:33
  of
• 8:33
  him
• 8:34
  who
• 8:34
  was
• 8:34
  high
• 8:34
  priest
• 8:34
  at
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  time.
• 8:35
  Then
• 8:35
  the
• 8:36
  manslayer
• 8:36
  may
• 8:36
  return
• 8:37
  to
• 8:37
  his
• 8:37
  town
• 8:38
  and
• 8:38
  his
• 8:38
  own
• 8:38
  home
• 8:38
  to
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  town
• 8:39
  from
• 8:39
  which
• 8:40
  he
• 8:40
  fled
• 8:41
  from
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  beginning
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  scripture,
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  distinction
• 8:43
  is
• 8:43
  made
• 8:43
  between
• 8:44
  manslaughter
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  murder.
• 8:45
  God
• 8:45
  will
• 8:45
  justly
• 8:46
  punish
• 8:46
  those
• 8:47
  with
• 8:47
  evil
• 8:47
  intent
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  their
• 8:48
  heart.
• 8:48
  But
• 8:48
  he
• 8:48
  allows
• 8:49
  mercy
• 8:49
  when
• 8:49
  accidents
• 8:50
  happen.
• 8:50
  Is
• 8:51
  there
• 8:51
  an
• 8:51
  accident
• 8:52
  that
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  carry
• 8:52
  shame
• 8:53
  and
• 8:53
  guilt
• 8:53
  for?
• 8:54
  It
• 8:54
  probably
• 8:55
  isn't
• 8:55
  something
• 8:55
  to
• 8:55
  this
• 8:56
  level,
• 8:56
  but
• 8:56
  if
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  Lord
• 8:57
  allows
• 8:57
  grace
• 8:58
  for
• 8:58
  even
• 8:58
  this,
• 8:59
  should
• 8:59
  we
• 8:59
  continue
• 9:00
  to
• 9:00
  carry
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  weight
• 9:00
  of
• 9:01
  our
• 9:01
  sin
• 9:01
  when
• 9:01
  Jesus
• 9:01
  has
• 9:02
  already
• 9:02
  paid
• 9:02
  for
• 9:02
  it?
• 9:03
  Scripture
• 9:03
  would
• 9:04
  say
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  resounding
• 9:05
  no.
• 9:06
  Cast
• 9:06
  your
• 9:06
  cares
• 9:06
  upon
• 9:07
  him
• 9:07
  for
• 9:07
  he
• 9:07
  cares
• 9:08
  for
• 9:08
  you.
• 9:08
  And
• 9:08
  there
• 9:08
  couldn't
• 9:09
  be
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  better
• 9:09
  time
• 9:10
  than
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  do
• 9:10
  that
• 9:11
  this
• 9:11
  Easter
• 9:11
  week.
• 9:12
  Let's
• 9:12
  pray.
• 9:13
  Heavenly
• 9:13
  Father,
• 9:14
  we
• 9:14
  praise
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  these
• 9:15
  words
• 9:16
  that
• 9:16
  speak
• 9:17
  about
• 9:17
  geographical
• 9:17
  inheritance
• 9:18
  can
• 9:19
  also
• 9:19
  tell
• 9:19
  us
• 9:20
  much
• 9:20
  about
• 9:20
  your
• 9:20
  character.
• 9:21
  You
• 9:21
  are
• 9:21
  a
• 9:22
  Lord
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  gives
• 9:22
  us
• 9:22
  an
• 9:22
  opportunity
• 9:23
  to
• 9:24
  worship
• 9:24
  you.
• 9:24
  But
• 9:24
  you
• 9:25
  are
• 9:25
  just,
• 9:26
  when
• 9:26
  we
• 9:26
  fall
• 9:26
  into
• 9:26
  sin
• 9:27
  you
• 9:27
  faithfully
• 9:28
  bring
• 9:28
  us
• 9:28
  back
• 9:28
  to
• 9:29
  you.
• 9:29
  Although
• 9:29
  we
• 9:29
  want
• 9:30
  our
• 9:30
  children
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  be
• 9:30
  spared
• 9:31
  from
• 9:31
  sinning,
• 9:31
  We
• 9:32
  do
• 9:32
  ask
• 9:32
  that
• 9:33
  they
• 9:33
  would
• 9:33
  understand
• 9:34
  the
• 9:34
  extent
• 9:34
  of
• 9:34
  your
• 9:35
  mercy
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  forgiveness.
• 9:36
  I
• 9:36
  pray
• 9:36
  our
• 9:36
  families
• 9:37
  would
• 9:37
  not
• 9:37
  take
• 9:38
  your
• 9:38
  grace
• 9:38
  for
• 9:38
  granted.
• 9:39
  Help
• 9:39
  us
• 9:39
  to
• 9:40
  appreciate
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  cross
• 9:41
  of
• 9:41
  Calvary
• 9:41
  afresh
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  may
• 9:42
  we
• 9:43
  run
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  when
• 9:44
  we
• 9:44
  so
• 9:44
  frequently
• 9:45
  fall
• 9:45
  completely
• 9:46
  short
• 9:46
  of
• 9:46
  your
• 9:46
  goodness.
• 9:47
  Thank
• 9:48
  you,
• 9:48
  Jesus,
• 9:48
  that
• 9:48
  you
• 9:48
  are
