Summary

Biblical Theology, Episode 06 Today we get to continue our biblical theology series and hear from Jen Wilkin about the promises of God from the book of Joshua. We hope this episode makes helpful connections for you throughout Scripture and causes you to marvel at the soul-rest God gives us in Christ Jesus and in the final rest he offers us when we will one day be with him. Bible Fluency and the Bible’s Story 5:00 The Promises of Joshua 13:30 Future Promise of Hope 20:00 Living in the Rest Christ Offers 24:30 Evil in the World 30:00 The Word with Others 41:00 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FULL SHOW NOTES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ journeywomen.org/episode/entering-gods-rest DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is the difference between biblical literacy and biblical fluency? Where are some areas of your life in which you might need to walk in more obedience so as to increase collateral blessing to others? How does knowing you are freed from the power of sin and indwelt by the Holy Spirit help you choose obedience over sin? How can you live out of the rest God offers us even when we do sin—knowing he will never break covenant with us and will never leave nor forsake us? What are some ways you could gather to discuss the Word in community if you don’t already? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
