Wes Is Here With Our Mid-Week Moment

May 21, 2025    Wes Hodgson

This week, we're delving into the fascinating story of the fall of Jericho from Joshua 6. While this tale has traditionally been seen as a testament to God's faithfulness and power, we're challenged to confront its more difficult aspects. How do we reconcile the violence depicted in this Old Testament narrative with our modern understanding of faith and ethics? As we explore this passage, we're invited to wrestle with complex questions about divine intervention, obedience, and the nature of God's commands. This study calls us to approach Scripture with both reverence and critical thinking, encouraging us to deepen our faith while honestly addressing the challenging parts of our spiritual heritage. It's an opportunity for us to grow in our understanding of God's character and to reflect on how we interpret and apply ancient texts in our contemporary lives.
