LBS Joshua Chapter 24

Final Lesson 10

Well, we are finally here at the last lesson in the study of the book of Joshua. With 9 weeks of study behind us, we now turn our eyes to the closing scenes of the book. Having charged Israel’s leaders with a call to obedience, Joshua now gathers the entire nation for a final exhortation. No doubt you can guess what his theme will be.
