COLONIZING THE LAND: Chapters 10-24
INTRODUCTION: In Part I and Part II of the Book of Joshua, we saw the people of Israel move across the River Jordan, thereby symbolizing the moving of a believer fronm one stage of the Christian life into a deeper stage of the Christian life.
In Part II, we saw Israel as they began to possess their possessions by faith. They overcame Jericho, met defeat at Ai, learned the power of secret sin, and were confronted with the wiles of the devil. After subduing Ai, Joshua made one of his serious mistakes.

2. This declaration of war must be intense - Vs. 9

Vs. 11 tells us that the enemy fled, but as they were getting away, the Lord sent giant hailstones from heaven to crush the enemy.
B. There must be Daring. Faith - Vs. 8
As Joshua looked at the sun and he looked at the enemy, he saw there was no way he could utterly destroy the enemy before darkness fell. So in daring faith he said, "Sun, s ...
