This video is a bible study on Joshua chapter 2. The chapter is about two spies sent by Joshua to Jericho. Here is a summary of the key points:The Spies in Jericho: Joshua secretly sends two spies to Jericho, where they are hidden by a prostitute named Rahab.Rahab’s Faith: Rahab helps the spies because she has heard about the God of Israel and has faith in Him. She tells the spies that the people of Jericho are terrified of the Israelites because they have heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea and gave them victory over other kings.The Scarlet Cord: The spies tell Rahab to tie a scarlet cord in her window so that she and her family will be spared when the Israelites attack Jericho.A Picture of Salvation: The story of Rahab is a picture of salvation. She responded to God’s message in faith and was rescued, while the other people of Jericho, who knew the truth but rejected it, suffered God’s judgment.Rahab in the Genealogy of Jesus: Rahab is later mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

In this episode, we examine the claim that the land promise in the Abrahamic covenant has already been fulfilled. Joshua 21:43 states that “the LORD gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers.” Does this mean that futurists are incorrect when they say that Israel can expect a return to the land of their forefathers?

This video provides a chapter-by-chapter study of the book of Joshua, with a focus on the first chapter. Here are the key points from the video:Introduction to the Book of Joshua:The speaker expresses excitement about studying the book of Joshua, a book that often causes consternation in modern times but is a “wonderful book of God’s conquest over a land that he’d promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”.The speaker recalls reading the book as an eight-year-old and being excited by what God was doing in the lives of Joshua and the people of Israel.Joshua’s Commissioning and Encouragement:With Moses now dead, Joshua is the new leader of Israel.God encourages and strengthens Joshua, promising in verse five, “No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you. I would not fail you or forsake you”.Joshua is repeatedly called to be “strong and courageous” in verses 6, 7, 9, and 18, a theme also seen in Deuteronomy chapter 31.Keys to Joshua’s Success:Obedience to the Law: Joshua’s success is dependent on his obedience to the law given to Moses. Verse 7 states, “Be careful to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left so that you may have success wherever you go”. The speaker emphasizes that obedience is the foundation of Joshua’s courage and strength.Meditation on the Word of God: Verse 8 commands Joshua, “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you will be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosper, and then you will have good success”. The speaker notes that meditating on and memorizing God’s word enables one to live it out more easily.Context and Application of Joshua 1:8:The speaker cautions against misinterpreting this verse as a formula for personal prosperity, clarifying that the promise was specifically to Joshua and Israel for success in their conquest of the land.However, the speaker does see a wider application: meditating on God’s word will lead to success in the things that matter to God, which are spiritual matters, not necessarily worldly pursuits.The Transjordanian Tribes:The remainder of the chapter discusses Joshua reminding the two and a half tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh of their promise to help their fellow Israelites conquer the land west of the Jordan River, which they agree to do.The speaker finds verse 17, “Just as we obeyed Moses in all things so we will obey you,” to be a “scary verse” given the Israelites’ history of disobedience to Moses in the wilderness. However, he acknowledges it as a good start.Conclusion:The video concludes by reiterating the need for a strong and courageous leader like Joshua, one who is obedient to God and meditates on His word. This is presented as a “good start to the book of Joshua”.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

This video is a review of Andrew Murray’s devotional book, “Waiting on God”. The speaker had previously read and recommended a book titled “Waiting is Not a Waste,” which frequently quoted Murray’s work. This prompted the speaker to read “Waiting on God” to better understand its context and theological underpinnings.The speaker provides a critical analysis of Andrew Murray’s theology, situating him within the late 19th and early 20th-century Wesleyan and holiness movements. He notes that Murray and his contemporaries, associated with the Keswick conference, were well-meaning and held to the core tenets of Christianity. However, they also promoted “higher life” teachings, which suggested that Christians could attain a higher spiritual experience through a “crisis experience,” often referred to as the “baptism of the Holy Spirit” or the “filling of the Holy Spirit”. The speaker points out that this theology later influenced Pentecostalism.A key element of this “higher life” theology is the concept of “quietism,” summarized by the slogan “let go and let God”. This approach to sanctification suggests that believers should passively allow God to work in them, rather than making an active effort in their spiritual growth. The speaker contrasts this with the biblical view of sanctification, which involves the believer’s active participation. The speaker finds this “quietist” perspective problematic, noting that Murray’s book at times suggests that even reading scripture and praying can be a hindrance to this passive waiting on God.For those interested in a more in-depth critique of the “higher life” movement, the speaker recommends the book “No Quick Fix” by Andrew Naselli. He also mentions that this book includes a testimony from John MacArthur about his own experience with and departure from quietism.In conclusion, the speaker advises caution when reading “Waiting on God.” While acknowledging that the book contains some valuable quotes and principles, he warns against uncritically accepting Murray’s theological positions, particularly his views on sanctification and the “higher life”.__Southern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

This video is a reading of the last two chapters of Deuteronomy, 33 and 34. The speaker discusses the end of Moses’s life and his legacy.Here is a summary of the key points:Moses is described as a “man of God” and a “servant of the Lord,” which are high compliments in the scriptures. He was a great prophet, and no prophet as great as Moses has risen in Israel since his time, until the coming of Christ. The Lord knew Moses “face to face,” a unique privilege. Despite his greatness, Moses was a sinner and faced consequences for his failure, which was not being allowed to enter the promised land. At the end of his life, Moses’s focus was not on himself but on blessing the people of Israel, tribe by tribe. Moses died in the land of Moab and was buried by God in a secret location to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine. The video also mentions a dispute between Michael the Archangel and the devil over the body of Moses, with Michael rebuking Satan in the name of the Lord. The book of Deuteronomy concludes with Moses’s death, setting the stage for the book of Joshua. ___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

This video is a discussion of the “song of Moses” from Deuteronomy chapter 32. The speaker explains that this song, along with the Law and creation, serves as a witness against the people of Israel for when they turn their back on God.The summary of the song includes the following points:It reminds the people of God’s greatness and justice.It highlights Israel’s corruption and rebellion.It speaks of God’s mercy in choosing Israel, noting that He found them “in a desert” and guarded them “as a pupil of his eye.”It describes God’s judgment that will follow Israel’s rebellion.It concludes with a call for rejoicing when God ultimately rescues them.The speaker notes that Moses composed and taught this song to the Israelites so that they would perpetually remember these things about God and themselves.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

The main points are:Moses, at 120 years old, gives his final message to the Israelites, telling them he will not be entering the promised land with them.Joshua is appointed as the new leader.Moses repeatedly tells the people and Joshua to “be strong and courageous” as they prepare to face their enemies.The video emphasizes the importance of the law (Deuteronomy), noting that it was to be read every seven years at the Feast of Booths, future kings were to write their own copies, and the book was to be placed next to the Ark of the Covenant.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.

This video discusses Deuteronomy chapter 30, and its connection to Romans chapter 10.The speaker begins by referencing the end of Deuteronomy chapter 29, which focuses on the Israelites turning away from God and being uprooted from their land. Deuteronomy chapter 30, however, offers a more positive message, promising that if they return to God, He will restore them from captivity. The speaker notes that this has happened periodically throughout Israel’s history and believes it has long-reaching end-time applications, with the people of Israel eventually returning to the land in belief.The speaker also highlights the theme of “worshiping the Lord or serving the Lord with all their heart and soul” and the choice between “life and death”. He explains that by following God, we find true and eternal life.Finally, the speaker discusses Deuteronomy 30:11-14, which states that God’s commandments are not “too difficult” or “out of reach”. He connects this to Romans chapter 10, where Paul uses the same passage in the context of salvation. Paul’s message is that salvation is not something you have to ascend to heaven or descend into the abyss for; it is “very near”. The speaker concludes by explaining that Paul applies this Deuteronomy passage to salvation, stating that if you “confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord” and “believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you’ll be saved”.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.
