Joshua 10

10/16/2025 Joshua 10 NKJV: even though the big miracle of this chapter is the sun standing still for Joshua, I feel the key idea is in verse 25, where Joshua demonstrates for his captains to be strong and of good courage because God fights for them. I love

John 5

10/3/2025 John 5 NKJV: OK, wow. This chapter is basically 2 parts. The first is the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda and the second is Jesus explaining who He is to some extent. I will start with part 1. I have heard that the

Joshua 2

10/03/2025 Joshua 2 NKJV: what a great story of Rahab and her dealings with the 2 spies Joshua sent into Jericho. The deal they made with her echos the original Passover from Egypt. The scarlet cord in the window echos the lambs blood over the door. Only those
