Joshua 9
This book is the Old Testament illustration of the New Testament truth of victory in the Lord Jesus.

A printer's mistake is corrected. A pharmacist's mistake is buried. A postman's mistake is forwarded. An electrician's mistake could be shocking." All of us make mistakes.
So, I want us to learn tonight is not that we make mistakes but what to do when we make these mistakes and how to get victory even though we have made some mistakes.
The opening verses of the chapter, the first thing I want you to notice is the cooperation of these kings. In the land of Canaan they had a series of little petty kings who ruled over city states and they were actually constantly fighting and in battles with one another. Now, in the presence of this common enemy, the children of Israel, these that were normally enemies of one another we are told in vers ...
