This morning I want to tell you a story of four kings. And I know that you think I’ve lost it, that the account belongs in the Christmas story, not the Easter story, and it’s three kings, not four.

Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more
