Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Warrior (Joshua 5)

The people of Israel finally have the joy of celebrating their passover in the promised land.  They are finally cut off from the manna that sustained their life in the wilderness.  Now, it is time for them to secure this land.  Will Israel recognize that it has been the Lord this whole time sustaining and giving them life?  Will Israel see that God is the one who fights for His people?  How is our Lord going to communicate this to the Israelites?

Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Mission (2) (Deuteronomy 7:1-26)

Israel has a very unique mission to go and establish a heavenly kingdom on this earth.  They have a unique calling to dominate a land, setup a place for God to dwell, and worship our God in the midst of the Canaanite land.  One would think that Israel has this calling because they are a great people with a wonderful history.  Does the Lord pick them because there is something special about them as a people?  Or does the Lord pick them to make clear that there is something special about God?
