  2. Walls Of Jericho • What brought Israel to this point? • Enslaved by Egyptians • God used Moses & 10 Plagues for deliverance • Wandered in wilderness for 40 years • Learned many lessons while in the wilderness

  3. Walls Of Jericho • Israel is now ready to enter in and take over the land promised to them • God made a promise to Joshua in Joshua 1:2-9 • Joshua sends out spies to spy out the land, especially Jericho (Josh. 2)

  4. Walls Of Jericho • God continues to reassure the people that He will be with them • The spies brought back a good report (Josh. 2:24) • God makes the waters of the Jordan stop so the people can cross on dry land(Josh. 3)

  5. Walls Of Jericho • The men are circumcised just as God had commanded them to be (Josh. 5) • Joshua has an encounter with the Commander of the army of the Lord (Josh 5:13-15) • Now we see the battle of Jericho in Joshua 6

  6. Walls Of Jericho • The greatest obstacle to the city of Jericho was the walls that surrounded it • God had a particular plan for these walls, but it required obedience and faith from the Israelites (Josh. 6:1-5, 10) • What do we know about the walls of Jericho?

  7. Walls Of Jericho • It’s obvious that without the help of God, the Israelites probably were not going to get into Jericho • That’s why God was involved in this battle • Children of Israel still had a role to play • They had to be obedient and have faith in God (Heb. 11:30; Josh. 6:20)

  8. Walls Of Jericho • So what lessons do we learn from this? • Nothing is impossible for God (Matt. 19:26) • Faith in God is required if we expect God to help us with anything (Heb. 11:6; Js. 1:5-8) • Obedience is also a requirement of God (Heb. 5:9; Matt. 7:21) • Walls still exist today (II Cor. 10:3-5)
