3. Joshua 6:17, 21-25 “…23 So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed them outside the camp of Israel. 24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 However, Rahab the harlot and her father's household and all she had, Joshua spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.” Fall of Jericho Joshua 6:20 “So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.” Joshua 6:17, 21-25 “The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the Lord; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. … 21 They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword. 22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, as you have sworn to her." …” Joshua 6:5 “It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead."” Joshua 6:16,20 “At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.” Joshua 6:13 “The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went before them and the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while they continued to blow the trumpets.” Joshua 6:10 “But Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard nor let a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout!"” Joshua 6:4b “…then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.” Joshua 6:3 “You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days.” Joshua 6:2 “The Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors.” Joshua 6:4a “Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark;” God gave instructions on how to Capture the City

5. Lessons from the Fall of Jericho Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.” Mark 16:16 “"He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.” Acts 22:16 “'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'” The difference in God's way and man's way

6. Lessons from the Fall of Jericho The awesome power of God

7. John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Lessons from the Fall of Jericho Matthew 7:24-29 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand….” Matthew 7:24-29 “… "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall." When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.” Hebrews 11:30 “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.” Romans 5:1 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 John 2:3-5 “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:” Numbers 14:36-37 “As for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land and who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report concerning the land, even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the Lord.” Hebrews 5:8-9 “Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,” 2 Corinthians 5:7 “for we walk by faith, not by sight—” The relation of grace, faith, and obedience

8. Hebrews 6:11-18 “And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "I will surely bless you and I will surely multiply you." And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.…” Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Hebrews 13:5-6 “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you," so that we confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?"” Lessons from the Fall of Jericho Hebrews 6:11-18 “…For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute. In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.” Joshua 6:2,20 “The Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors. … 20 So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.” Hebrews 10:36 “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.” Colossians 3:24 “knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.” God keeps His promises
