Abner Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 2, 2022

The only engagement between the rival factions, told at length, is noteworthy since it was preceded by an encounter at Gibeon between 12 chosen men from each side, in which all 24 seem to have perished. Abner was defeated and put to flight in the general engagement that followed.

His name also appears as “Abiner son of Ner,” whereas the more extended form Abiner means “my father is Ner.” Abner is initially mentioned incidentally in Saul’s history, first appearing as the ...read more

Our God Is A Great Warrior (Joshua 10:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

It's maybe more helpful to describe God as the "More Powerful One," than to call him "All-Powerful." We have good theology, but we talk about God in ways that make talk of "omnipotence" pointless. God has your back. And God fights for you.

Joshua 10 is complicated, and I'm not sure how to teach it. Normally, the way stories work, is that there is a flow to them-- an order. One thing naturally leads to another, which leads to another. Stories look like life looks. Everything happens in sequence. In chapter 10, AJ bends the ...read more
