When God Saves His People From Themselves (Joshua 22:1-34) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Everyone in this story does what's right, and it almost leads to tragedy. God steps in, faithfully, to make sure it ends well.

Eventually, there's a big climactic scene near the end of the movie where everything gets resolved. At this point, the ...read more
