Joshua 9
JoshuaSteve Gregg
This discussion by Steve Gregg reflects on the biblical story of Joshua 9, where Joshua and the Israelites come across the Gibeonites who trick them into making a peace treaty. Despite being deceived, Joshua chooses to honor the treaty and make the Gibeonites servants of the Israelites rather than killing them. Gregg explores the themes of commitments and covenants in the face of deceit and highlights the importance of fulfilling promises, even when it may seem inconvenient or difficult. The discussion ultimately raises questions about the sovereignty and providential working of God in both good and bad situations.
