Summary

Joshua thoroughly crushed all the strongholds of the Canaanite kings, and in this sense, Joshua took the whole land. However, there were still many small towns and villages remaining. It was the task of each individual tribe to fight and plunder the land that was specifically apportioned to them as their inheritance. If these tribes failed to do so, it was not because of any lack in the power of God, but their own failure to take for themselves what Joshua had given and allotted to each of them. In the same sense, Jesus (the ultimate Joshua) has already defeated the enemy and conquered the land, but he also calls us into battle to further secure what is already ours.

0:00.0	This morning we continue with our series through the book of Joshua. Our text for today is the remainder of Joshua chapter 11.
0:08.5	After this week, we're actually going to be skipping forward to the end of the book of Joshua.
0:13.5	And then we will finish out the year by teaching through the book of Ezra.
0:18.3	And the reason why this is something not spur of the moment, but what I
0:21.4	planned from the beginning, Joshua does get bogged down. All scripture is God breathed. It's all
0:28.5	useful for training, rebuking, growing in righteousness, so that the man of God might be
0:33.7	fully equipped for every good work. But what we'll find in Joshua chapter 12 all the way to the last couple chapters
0:40.5	of the book of Joshua is the allotments of land given out to the various tribes.
0:45.7	It matters.
0:47.2	But it is a bit dry.
0:50.0	Leviticus is like a Ferris will by comparison to Joshua chapter 12 through about 1920.
1:00.0	So we will get the whole idea of the book of Joshua.
1:03.9	What we're focusing our attention on, for those of you who are joining us for the first time in chapters 1 through 11 is basically the conquest of Canaan.
1:12.6	So we're seeing the fights. We're seeing, you know, the most exciting scenes of the book of Joshua,
1:19.6	how they conquer each of these Canaanite tribes. And we're seeing the conclusion of that, the conquest of Canaan in our text today, the final latter half of
1:30.1	Joshua 11. Joshua 12 to the last couple chapters of the book is not the fights and the conquest
1:37.7	of Canaan defeating each of these Canaanites, but rather again, as I've already said,
1:42.2	the allotments of land as an inheritance to each of
1:45.7	the 12 tribes of Israel. And then it picks back up at the end, which is exceedingly important.
1:52.1	That's where we'll pick up, Lord willing, next week. But we see it pick back up at the end of the
1:57.5	book with a renewal of the covenant between God and Israel. And so that's
2:03.2	really important, this renewal of the covenant now that they are not only a great many people,
