Breakout Questions:
  • What, if anything, struck you about this lesson?
  • According to this lesson and Joshua’s life how can we be used of God? What sort of character traits do we need?
  • What are we told about Joshua’s pedigree and background that makes him qualified to be commander and chief in Israel?
  • In what particular ways is Joshua like Moses? What does this mean for people God raises up to do His mission?
  • Is there any reason to believe that the events of Exodus actually happened, or are these stories just meant to inspire?
  • How do we understand God’s command to drive out the inhabitants of Israel? Could this be a loving and kind act in the long run?
  • Joshua isn’t a war strategist and has only one strategy: obedience. Why would that strategy work?
  • How can we practically apply Joshua’s life pattern to our own lives?
