Introduction
The Amorites are Alarmed (v1-6).
God Saves the Gibeonites (v7-15).
Joshua Seals the Victory (v16-28).

Don’t dig your own grave—by opposing God.

Satan loves to make war on those who make peace with God. We should expect to face opposition for our faith.

Always count it a privilege to serve the Lord in any role he puts you in, no matter how humble it is.

Let us imitate the Gibeonites by making our peace with God in the rags of humiliation, godly sorrow, and confession of sin – so that our iniquity will not be our ruin.
