Sermon Texts:

2 Kings 23:1-15

Romans 1:18-25

Joshua 6:1-27

In this sermon we study the battle of Jericho and also discuss the problem of violence. We look at the command to the Israelites to devote to destruction the men and women, old and young, and even the donkeys. We also look at how the battle of Jericho connects with the year of Jubilee. Ultimately, we see that Jericho is about God breaking down boundaries and freeing humanity from idolatry.
