Old Testament Lesson 5 (Joshua, David)

[disciple]

Lesson 5: Deliverance & Forgiveness

Objective: to maintain fellowship with God, unhindered by sin.

A. Joshua and Deliverance
- Read Josh. 1:1-9 and list God’s promises to Joshua.
- What was the condition on which these promises would be fulfilled?
- Can you apply any of these promises to your life? How?
- In Josh. 7, why did God tell Joshua to stop praying? (also Psa. 66:18, Num. 32:23)
- What happened after the sin was taken away? (Josh. 8:1)
- What did Joshua command the people before he died? (Josh. 23:6)

B. David and Forgiveness
- Read 1 Sam. 24, 2 Sam. 5, & 2 Sam. 12—find an example of David showing each of the following:
- submissiveness
- sincerity
- boldness
- trust in God
- sinful passions
- sorrow over sin
- How can a person of terrible sins be seen as “a man after God’s own heart”? (Psa. 51)

Life Application
- What sin or problem do you need deliverance from today? (Prov. 28;13)
- Notice all the things God accomplished for Israel in Josh. 24:3-13. What do you need Him to accomplish for you?
- In what ways do you see yourself in Joshua & David?
