Title: A Tale of Two Cities
Text: Joshua 20:1-21:45
Description: As Joshua finishes dividing up the promised land among the tribes of Israel, he obeys God's command and appoints cities of refuge and the Levite cities. These cities were meant for hope and to ensure the word of God and the worship of God was a priority. Listen as we discuss what these cities meant for Israel, as well as the connection for the church today.
Outline:
Cities of Refuge
- God is a God of Justice
- Portrays the sanctity of human life
Levite Cities
- Given out of Israel's inheritance
- Received by claiming God's promise
Israel was to be......A place devoted to the worship of the one true God
...A place devoted to the word of God
...A place of refuge, hope and mercy
The church is to be...
...A place devoted to the worship of the one true God
...A place devoted to the word of God
...A place of refuge, hope and mercy.
