Israel Abandons God | Ep. 107

5/17/2023
The Israelites failed to drive out all the people in the Promised Land and now "they will be thorns in your side," according to the Lord. The influence of the Canaanites, the people they were supposed to drive out, took over and the Israelites abandoned God. They turned to other false gods, worshipping them instead. And God’s anger was ignited against His people. "And they abandaoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt."

Israel Fails to Finish Conquest | Ep. 106

5/10/2023
God had wanted the Israelites to drive the people completely out of the Promised Land. But they didn’t, and all these different tribes of people were now living with the Israelites in the Promised Land. These people worked as the Israelites' slaves, which of course, now made God’s people weak. This is going to be a very important point to remember as we move through Judges to understand where the Israelites find themselves. "When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely."

Who is Israel Going to Be? | Ep. 105

5/3/2023
With God’s help, the Israelites just conquered the Promised Land...well, most of it. They didn’t get the conquest completely finished. And they also made the peace with the Hivites, and they didn’t always follow all the instructions of the Lord. Without Joshua leading the people, it’s a good possibility the people of Israel would have done whatever they wanted to do. So Joshua tells the people, "Now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and faithfulness." Joshua tells the people to put away false gods and follow the one true God, the Lord that led them out of Egypt. "Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness."

Israel Is At Rest | Ep. 104

4/26/2023
God has given Israel's enemies over to them, and they have been victorious. But now with the defeat of the Southern and Northern kingdoms, the Israelites have officially won the war. That means peace for the land. But peace for whom? Our story today serves as a great reminder of Whom we get our peace from, and what it means for us as God's children. "There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel, except the Hivites." Joshua 11:19 A huge shout out to the "Van Streudel" family for our fun, catchy memory verses that your kids will be singing ALL week!

Joshua Conquers Northern Canaan | Ep. 103

4/19/2023
News of the southern kingdom's downfall to Joshua and the Israelites reached the northern kingdom. All the enemies of the Lord now gathered together and united in one large army to battle the Israelites. Their army was like the number of sand on the seashore. But God was still in control and fighting for Israel, and would deliver them all into the hands of His people. "Do not be afraid of them, for I will give over all of them, slain to Israel."

Epiphany Devotion: Jesus, Light of the World | Ep. 099

1/11/2023
Epiphany is the feast day of light. This is the day we remember the visit of the Magi (or “wise men”) to visit the child Jesus at his house in Bethlehem. Today, we don’t see Jesus as the Wise Men did or as others saw Him. But we do see Jesus by faith. It was by faith the Magi traveled until they saw the Christ child. It is by faith we follow the “star” that is Jesus, whom God has shown us in His Word, and who we believe to be our eternal Savior from all our sin. Resource We mention the book "Celebrating the Saints" by William Weedon, which is a wonderful resource to teach your kids more about all the feasts, festivals and commemorations that happen each month throughout the church year. You can use this book throughout the year to talk about which festivals are celebrated on what days! Support the Show We love providing fun, biblically sound devotions for families, school, and churches to use however works for them.

Advent Devotion: Who are the Wise Men? | Ep. 097

12/21/2022
At Christmas, we hear about Gabriel and the angels and the shepherds, Joseph and Mary… and then we hear about the wise men. But who are the wise men? They don’t come to the manger where Jesus was born. They traveled from a long distance later, following a star, and looking for the king of the Jews. Looking for Jesus. As with gladness men of oldDid the guiding star behold;As with joy they hailed its light,Leading onward, beaming bright;So, most gracious Lord, may weEvermore be led by Thee.As with joyful steps they sped,Savior, to Thy lowly bed,There to bend the knee beforeThee, whom heav'n and earth adore;So may we with willing feetEver seek Thy mercy seat.As they offered gifts most rareAt Thy cradle, rude and bare,So may we with holy joy,Pure and free from sin's alloy,All our costliest treasures bring,Christ, to Thee, our heav'nly King.Verses 1, 2, and 3 of As With Gladness Men of Old Support the Show Please prayerfully consider supporting our ministry at https://buymeacoffee.com/donutsanddevos.

Advent Devotion: Who are the Shepherds? | Ep. 096

12/19/2022
Imagine you're a shepherd, and you’re going out to tend to your flock, just like you do every night. You go about your shepherding duties, keep track of the sheep, making sure they’re safe. And then out of nowehere, a great light fills the sky and all around you, it’s shining bright! And an angel shows up!! Would you be afraid? It came upon a midnight clear,that glorious song of old,from angels bending near the earthto touch their harps of gold:"Peace on the earth, goodwill to all,from heav'n's all-gracious king."The world in solemn stillness layto hear the angels sing.All you, beneath your heavy load,by care and guilt bent low,who toil along a dreary waywith painful steps and slow:look up, for golden is the hour,come swiftly on the wing,the Prince was born to bring you peace;of Him the angels sing.For lo, the days have come to passby prophets seen of old,when down into the circling yearscame Christ as was foretold.His word of peace shall to the earthGod's ancient promise bring,and all who take this gift will hearthe song the angels sing.Verses 1, 3, and 4 of It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Support the Show Please prayerfully consider supporting our ministry at https://buymeacoffee.com/donutsanddevos.

Advent Series: Who is Mary? | Ep. 095

12/12/2022
Gabriel visited Mary. Joseph married Mary! But who, exactly, is Mary? What made her so special? Absolutely nothing - except that God chose her to be the mother of His Son. Mary did not doubt God but believed what the angel Gabriel told her. She would give birth to the promised Messiah, the Savior the world had been waiting for. Once in royal David's cityStood a lowly cattle shed,Where a mother laid her babyIn a manger for His bed:Mary was that mother mild,Jesus Christ her little child.He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,And His cradle was a stall;With the poor and mean and lowlyLived on earth our Savior holy.For He is our childhood's pattern,Day by day like us He grew;He was little, weak, and helpless,Tears and smiles like us He knew;And He feels for all our sadness,And He shares in all our gladness.And our eyes at last shall see Him,Through His own redeeming love;For that child so dear and gentle,Is our Lord in heav'n above;And He leads His children onTo the place where He is gone.Verses 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Once In Royal David's City Support the Show Please prayerfully consider supporting our ministry at https://buymeacoffee.com/donutsanddevos.

We don't know too much about the earthly father of Jesus. He was a carpenter. He was a righteous and just man. He was a provider and guardian for his family. Joseph did what God wanted him to do, and became the adopted father of the Son of God.

"Who is Gabriel?" is the question we explore in this devotion of our Advent series. This angel who appeared to Zechariah, and then to Mary had a message for each of them that came directly from God.

It's "Take 2" for the Israelites at the city of Ai. Thanks to Achan's sin, their first attempt at taking over the city failed horribly. But now God's anger had cooled, and He once again tells Joshua to gather his men - the city of Ai would be theirs. A very creative and strategic battle plan by God brought Ai to the mercy of the Israelites, and they were victorious!
