  • How do the OT and NT fit together?  How does this help us know how to read and apply the OT?
  • What blessings do we enjoy by living at this time in redemptive history?
  • How does this passage encourage you to praise God the Spirit for all He has done for God’s people?
  • What blessings of salvation are you especially thankful for today?

Other passages to consider: 

Gen 3:15; 12:1-3; Isa 35; 52-55; Jer 31; Ezek 37; Dan 8:13-14; 9:2; 12:4-13; Mt 11:11; Lk 24:25-27; Acts 2:14-21; 3:21; 1 Pet 1; 2 Pet 1:21.

God’s Blessing or Curse?- Joshua 8

 

Notes:

 

1)      _________________________ of God’s blessing – vv1-18

 

2)      _________________________ of God’s curse – vv19-29

 

3)      ________________________ of God’s curse or blessing – vv30-35

 

4)      ___________________ from God’s curse & ________________ of God’s blessing – Gal 3:13-14

 

Digging Deeper:

  • Why did God need to assure Joshua in v1?
  • Under the Old Covenant, what determined if Israel was blessed or cursed?  How is that different for people in the New Covenant?
  • How does the saying “cursed is any one hanging on a tree” relate to the death of Christ?  How did Jesus secure God’s blessing for all united to Him in faith?

Other passages to consider:

Gen 12:6-7; Lev 18:24-25; Deut 9:4-5; 11:29-32; 27:1-4; Matt 27:45-50; Rom 5:6-11; Gal 3:13-14; Eph 1:3; 1 Th 5:9-10.

  • What impact might this encounter with the commander of the Lord’s Army have on Joshua moving forward?
