Rise and Fall: A Study of Joshua and Judges (Preparing the Conquest - Joshua 1:1–2:24)

Their entry into the land didn’t end the triumphs and trials faced by the Israelites. After entering the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they faced the challenges of conquering the inhabitants and establishing themselves. During this fifteen-session series, we’ll consider the rise and the fall of the Israelites as they take possession of their promised land. We’ll address the following:

Session 1 - Preparing the Conquest (Joshua 1:1–2:24)
Session 2 - Crossing the Jordan (Joshua 3:1–5:12)
Session 3 - The Destruction of Jericho (Joshua 5:13–6:21)
Session 4 - Achan, Ai and Ebal (Joshua 7:1–8:35)
Session 5 - Turning South (Joshua 9:1–10:43)
Session 6 - Turning North (Joshua 11:1–12:24)
Session 7 - Mission Accomplished (Joshua 22:1–24:33)
Session 8 - From Success to Failure (Judges 1:1–3:6)
Session 9 - Model Judges (Judges 3:7–5:31)
Session 10 - The Timid Judge (Judges 6:1–8:3)
Session 11 - Flirting with Kingship (Judges 8:4–10:1-5)
Session 12 - A Tragic Vow (Judge 10:6–12:15)
Session 13 - The Last Judge (Judge 13:1–16:31)
Session 14 - Rapid Decline (Judges 17:1–18:31)
Session 15 - Chaos (Judges 19:1–21:25)

During our first discussion, we looked at how God prepared Joshua and the people to conquer the Promised Land (Joshua 1:1–2:24). A recording of the discussion and the passage are below:

Joshua 1:1–2:24 [New Revised Standard Version]

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying, “My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory. No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, “Pass through the camp, and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions; for in three days you are to cross over the Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess.’” To the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said, “Remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a place of rest, and will give you this land.’ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan. But all the warriors among you shall cross over armed before your kindred and shall help them, until the Lord gives rest to your kindred as well as to you, and they too take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”

They answered Joshua: “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses! Whoever rebels against your orders and disobeys your words, whatever you command, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

Then Joshua son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and spent the night there. The king of Jericho was told, “Some Israelites have come here tonight to search out the land.” Then the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who entered your house, for they have come only to search out the whole land.” But the woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, “True, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from. And when it was time to close the gate at dark, the men went out. Where the men went I do not know. Pursue them quickly, for you can overtake them.” She had, however, brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax that she had laid out on the roof. So the men pursued them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords. As soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

Before they went to sleep, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. As soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any of us because of you. The Lord your God is indeed God in heaven above and on earth below. Now then, since I have dealt kindly with you, swear to me by the Lord that you in turn will deal kindly with my family. Give me a sign of good faith that you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” The men said to her, “Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the Lord gives us the land.” Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the outer side of the city wall and she resided within the wall itself. She said to them, “Go toward the hill country, so that the pursuers may not come upon you. Hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; then afterward you may go your way.” The men said to her, “We will be released from this oath that you have made us swear to you if we invade the land and you do not tie this crimson cord in the window through which you let us down, and you do not gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your family. If any of you go out of the doors of your house into the street, they shall be responsible for their own death, and we shall be innocent; but if a hand is laid upon any who are with you in the house, we shall bear the responsibility for their death. But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be released from this oath that you made us swear to you.” She said, “According to your words, so be it.” She sent them away and they departed. Then she tied the crimson cord in the window.

They departed and went into the hill country and stayed there three days, until the pursuers returned. The pursuers had searched all along the way and found nothing. Then the two men came down again from the hill country. They crossed over, came to Joshua son of Nun, and told him all that had happened to them. They said to Joshua, “Truly the Lord has given all the land into our hands; moreover all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before us.”

Aug. 27 - God’s Kingdom Will Be All in All (1 Corinthians 15:20-28)

During our last meeting, we used 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 to discuss the future of the Kingdom of God. Below is a recording of our discussion and the scripture we used.

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 [New Revised Standard Version]

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is plain that this does not include the one who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who put all things in subjection under him, so that God may be all in all.

The Sligo Presbyterian Church Celebration Service - Sunday, August 27, 2023

We've spent the summer of 2023 with the Patriarchs. During eleven worship services, beginning on Father's Day, we've used passages from the book of Genesis to look at Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, focusing on how the Lord was consistently and actively involved in their lives. During this series, we'll look at the stories and passages below:

On Sunday, the service focused on what we can learn from the story of Joseph revealing his identity to his brothers, Genesis 45:1-15. A video of the service, a recording of the sermon and copy of the bulletin are below. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel at 10:00 a.m.

Sunday's Message - The Patriarchs: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph (Joseph Tells His Brothers Who He Is)

On Sunday, the message focused on what we can learn from the story of Joseph revealing his identity to his brothers, Genesis 45:1-15. A recording and copy of the sermon are below. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel at 10:00 a.m.

Although I never did it before coming up here, I really enjoy the Sunday we bless the backpacks. I mean, it’s our way of reminding the kids in our community that they’re not going back to school alone. Not only is God with them, but so are we. And for that reason, well, it’s really special, at least it is for me.

But I’ll tell you, personally, I have another reason for liking this day so much. You see, it really marks the beginning of something new, doesn’t it? I mean, we’re looking at a new school year, something that was really important for me when I was teaching and had a daughter at home. And it marks what I think you could call the threshold of Fall, which, although the calendar says it begins on September 23, we all know it really kicks off in five days. And for someone who absolutely hates two words, “hot” and “humid,” this seasonal change is a big deal. But of course, for me, the biggest deal of all is something that started yesterday, and I’m talking about what they’re calling week zero of the college football season. I only wish I’d have been able to watch FIU play Louisiana Tech last night. Yes sir, today is a day for beginnings.

But of course, if things are beginning, well, other things are ending, right? I mean, for our young people, days free from homework and pop quizzes are over. And as Jake shared last week before the Bible study, the sun is now setting before 8:00, which means summer is on it’s way out. And the time I spend putting together the slides for the sermon without some game playing in the background with my phone on mute, well, stick a fork in it, that’s also done. You see, for all these things, we’ve reached the end of the proverbial rope.

But of course, that’s not all, because this morning we’re tying up the sermon series we started back in mid-June entitled The Patriarchs: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. And you know something, in the last ten weeks, I think that’s exactly what we’ve done. I mean, we’ve considered the nature of God as shown in his relationship with father and son and grandson and of course, great grandson. And last week, we started coming in for landing by talking about Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel, and by considering how God might help us when we encounter situations that we didn’t choose and just don’t want. Now that was last Sunday.

And this morning, we’re going to put a ribbon on this series by looking at another story about Joseph and his brothers, but one that’s radically different from the first one, because it doesn’t deal with what they did to him when they sold him to a hairy bunch of Ishmaelites, but rather what he did to them, namely how he forgave them for what they’d done. Now that’s going to be our focus this morning. And we’re going to approach it by, first, discussing how he was able to do that with those ten siblings who treated him horribly and then second, taking what we learned from the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers and applying it to ourselves. Now, that’s the game plan for the next ten minutes or so.

And it starts with the story itself. You see, when we take a hard look at what happened in Genesis 45:1-15, I think it’s pretty clear that it was faith in God that enabled Joseph to forgive his brothers. For example, just think about what happened to him. I’m telling you, based on what was written in Genesis, even his brothers knew they’d done something wrong. Just listen to how the story begins:

Since Joseph could no longer control his feelings in front of his servants, he sent them out of the room. When he was alone with his brothers, he told them, “I am Joseph.” Then he cried so loudly that the Egyptians heard him and told about it in the king’s palace.

Joseph asked his brothers if his father was still alive, but they were too frightened to answer. [Genesis 45:1-3, CEV]

You see, when Joseph revealed his identity, something his brothers didn’t realize because he was a really big fish in a huge Egyptian pond; I’ll tell you, when Joseph did that, man, they were afraid, weren’t they? And why wouldn’t they have been. Remember, as we talked about last week, they threw him down a well and then sold him as a slave. And to make it even worse, his time as a slave hadn’t exactly been “milk and honey,” something that we know but they didn’t. My gosh, they’d absolutely destroyed the life he’d known, separating him from the father whom he loved and denying him the chance to meet Benjamin, his only full-brother who was born after the Ishmaelites had sold him to Potiphar. Joseph had every reason to hate his brothers, didn’t he? And since he now had the power to take action, he could certainly have made ten heads roll.

But it’s amazing; that’s not what Joseph did. Instead, it was his faith in God that enabled him to forgive the very people who’d done him wrong. Just listen:

Joseph told them to come closer to him, and when they did, he said:

Yes, I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt. Don't worry or blame yourselves for what you did. God is the one who sent me ahead of you to save lives.

There has already been a famine for two years, and for five more years no one will plow fields or harvest grain. But God sent me on ahead of you to keep your families alive and to save you in this wonderful way. After all, you weren’t really the ones who sent me here–it was God. He made me the highest official in the king's court and placed me over all Egypt. [Genesis 45:4-8, CEV]

Now that’s what it says. You see, even though he had suffered because of what his brothers had done, Joseph still had faith in God, didn’t he? He trusted that, in spite of his situation, which included cooling his heels in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, God was always with him. As a matter of fact, he even believed that God had used him, an ex-slave, not only to save Egypt during a famine he’d predicted but also to save his own family in Canaan, because under his leadership, Egypt was able to feed the world. You see, even though their intent was evil, Joseph believed that God had turned this evil into something good; therefore, he could forgive his brothers.

And I’ll tell you, once that had been done, both Joseph and his brothers were now able to move into the future. Again, this is what it says in Genesis, and understand, Joseph is still speaking:

Now hurry back and tell my father that his son Joseph says, “God has made me ruler of Egypt. Come here as quickly as you can. You will live near me in the region of Goshen with your children and grandchildren, as well as with your sheep, goats, cattle, and everything else you own. I will take care of you there during the next five years of famine. But if you don't come, you and your family and your animals will starve to death.”

All of you, including my brother Benjamin, can tell by what I have said that I really am Joseph. Tell my father about my great power here in Egypt and about everything you have seen. Hurry and bring him here.

Joseph and Benjamin hugged each other and started crying. Joseph was still crying as he kissed each of his other brothers. After this, they started talking with Joseph. [Genesis 45:1-15, CEV]

And that’s how the story ended, with the family together again, moving from Canaan to Egypt and setting us up for something even bigger that’ll happen in a little bit, and I’m talking about when “many years later a new king came to power [who]...did not know what Joseph had done for Egypt,” [Exodus 1:8, CEV] a man named Moses would lead the children of Israel back to the promised land. You see, all this would happen because faith enabled Joseph to forgive his brothers.

And I’ll tell you, it can do the same thing for us. You see, just like it did for Joseph, faith can also enable us to forgive others. Of course, forgiving others, well, that wouldn’t be necessary if we all got along and we all treated one another fairly and we all just sat around the campfire singing “kumbaya.” But I think we all know that’s not the way it is. No, there’s a lot of injustice and unfairness in our world and let’s get real, people aren’t very loving and kind to one another, and you don’t have to encounter a Karen or a Kevin to know that. Life can be tough. And I’ll tell you, if this sort of thing has never happened to you, count yourself lucky. No, at some time or another, I think we’ve all felt at least a little bit bruised and battered. And that applies to Christians just like it does everyone else. In fact, according to Scripture, we should even expect it. I mean, just listen to what the Psalmist wrote:

I praise you, God!

Don't keep silent.

Destructive and deceitful lies

are told about me,

and hateful things are said

for no reason.

I had pity and prayed

for my enemies,

but their words to me

were harsh and cruel.

For being friendly and kind,

they paid me back

with meanness and hatred. [Psalm 109:1-5, CEV]

And according the Apostle Peter,

You don't gain anything by being punished for some wrong you have done. But God will bless you, if you have to suffer for doing something good. After all, God chose you to suffer as you follow in the footsteps of Christ, who set an example by suffering for you.

Christ did not sin

or ever tell a lie. [1 Peter 2:20-22, CEV]

Now that’s what was written; therefore, I think I’m pretty safe in saying, based on what’s happened in our lives, most of us have some very good reasons for carrying around a few genuine grudges and a few justifiable resentments. But if we’re not careful, we can hold on to these animosities so tightly that bitterness can absolutely control our lives.

But it doesn’t have to. It didn’t control Joseph, and it doesn’t have to control us either. Why? Because, just like it did for him, faith can enable us to forgive, and I’m talking about forgiving those who have treated us much worse than we deserve. You see, we can have faith in God. And we can trust that, no matter where we go or what happens to us, we are never alone, because God is always close. And we can believe that God is constantly working through us even when we don’t realize it’s happening. As a matter of fact, like Joseph, we may not understand what’s actually going on until most of the story has already been written. You see, whether we accept it or not, God is in control, and he’s working with and through us in ways we may not even be able to comprehend. And I’ll tell you, I think that’s what James was getting at, when he wrote this:

My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything. [James 1:2-4, CEV]

And I believe this business about faith was the reason Apostle Paul could say this to the Romans:

But that's not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure. And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love. [Romans 5:3-5, CEV]

Of course, let me be clear; I realize that suffering can have a profound impact on our lives. And I recognize that, to a certain extent, we may never be able to put all injustice and all abuse nearly behind us as though they never happened. I’m not saying that at all. I know there are things we may never be able to forget. But that doesn’t mean we can’t forgive, something that’s possible when we trust and believe and have faith in God.

And when it does, when faith enables us to forgive, now we can do the same kind of thing Joseph did when he forgave his brothers; we can move forward. We can move forward, past a lot of the garbage we’ve had to endure. We can move forward into the future over which God has ultimate control. And we can move forward together with those men and women we’ve been able to forgive. You see, while grudges and resentments and animosity can isolate us, forgiveness can bring us together. And I’ll tell you, together is a heck of a lot better than alone. It’s like it says in Ecclesiastes:

You are better having a friend than to be all alone, because then you will get more enjoyment out of what you earn. If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are really in trouble. If you sleep alone, you won't have anyone to keep you warm on a cold night. Someone might be able to beat up one of you, but not both of you. As the saying goes, “A rope made from three strands of cord is hard to break.” [Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, CEV]

And according to the one who wrote the letter to the Hebrews:

We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things. Some people have given up the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer. [Hebrew 10:24-25, CEV]

I’ll tell you, when I let go of the past, we’re able to move into the future. And that’s possible, because, just like it did for Joseph, faith can enable us to forgive others.

And with that, we end this series on the Patriarchs: Abraham and Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. And next week, we’ll start looking at the work of the Holy Spirit. But before we totally shift our attention to other things, you know, like homework and cooler, less humid weather and of course, football; let’s pause and remember the one who chose Abram and who made promises to Abraham and Sarah, the one who told Abraham to send away Ishmael and who used Isaac to test Abraham’s faith, the one who found a wife for Isaac and who chose Jacob to carry the promise, the one who appeared in a dream in Bethel and who was working behind the scenes with Jacob and Leah and Rachel, the one who wrestled with Jacob on the other side of the Jabbok and who was with Joseph when his brothers threw him in a well, and of course, the one who enabled Joseph to forgive those who’d treated him with such cruelty. In other words, before we start doing other things, let’s remember the God who loves us, the one we encountered as we looked at the patriarchs.
