After 40 years of wandering in the desert, the next generation of Israelites had come to edge of the land of Canaan, as we heard last time. Moses was now dead, and Joshua was their new leader. We heard that Joshua secretly sent in two spies into the Canaanite city of Jericho, where they were protected by a resident of the city, a prostitute named Rahab. In due course, Joshua and the Israelites entered Canaan. Rahab was saved, but the city of Jericho fell. The fall of Jericho was so miraculous i...

Last story we heard the people were too afraid to enter the land of Canaan. They cried and carried on and said they wanted a new leader to take them back to Egypt. In response to this, God promised that none of that generation would enter the land. Well 40 years passed and all that generation died. And Joshua became Israel's leader. This story tells what happened next... The Scriptures quoted are from the NET Bible® http://netbible.com copyright ©1996, 2019 used with permission from Biblical St...

Last time we heard how Israel rejected God at the very mountain he had spoken to them from. How could God ever be in friendship with them?

God has shown the Israelites his power to rescue them, protect them, provide for them. Surely they have enough evidence to trust and follow what he says?

The Israelites experienced God's spectacular provision of a way through the sea. But walking through the desert towards the land promised to Abraham is no picnic.

Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go and they speedily left Egypt. But then he regretted it and chased them. Trapped between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea, the Israelites were terrified. There was no possible way of escape... The Scriptures quoted are from the NET Bible® http://netbible.com copyright ©1996, 2019 used with permission from Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C.

Last time we heard about the plague of hail that God sent on Egypt, and at the end of that story Pharaoh seemed to relent... however, he quickly changed his mind. God showed his power with two more plagues on the Egyptians, but still Pharaoh refused to let the people go. So God explained to Moses his plan for the tenth and final plague. This time there would be no distinction between Egyptians and Israelites, the only way to be safe was to listen very carefully God's instructions... The Script...

Last time we heard how God promised to give a man called Abraham many descendants, a land to dwell in, and that he and his name would be blessed. But there appeared to be a snag when Abraham's wife, Sarah, wasn't able to have kids. They waited and waited and eventually creatively took matters into their own hands (hear how that worked out in episode 3). Today's story fast-forwards a few hundred years to a time when some of God's promises to Abraham have come true - his descendants are truly num...

In the previous episode we heard how Adam and Eve wanted to decide for themselves what was right and wrong. They thought they could find good for themselves apart from what God told them, but guess what? Their actions did not bring anything good. Things went from bad to worse for the human race. God could have justifiably left humanity in the mess they'd made for themselves - but he didn't. He made some promises to a certain man that one day things would be better. But trusting God to keep his p...

Last episode we heard how at the very beginning of everything God simply spoke, and his words brought the world and all it’s creatures into existence. God was happy with everything he made and declared it all to be very good. But something obviously went wrong, because the world isn't like that anymore. This episode tells the story of how it all got messed up. The Scriptures quoted are from the NET Bible® http://netbible.com copyright ©1996, 2019 used with permission from Biblical Studies Press...
