Description
Joshua’s greatest task was to lead the armies of Israel to take possession of the land of Canaan. However, many of the challenges he faced are essentially the same challenges that men face today as the do battle against the forces of evil that are trying to capture his heart and mind.
While facing literal battles, Joshua demonstrates how men today can be “strong in the Lord and his mighty power” by “clothing themselves” with “the full armor of God” in order to defeat “the power of this dark world” and the “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 6:10-13 NIV).
The Men of Character Series highlights the lives of men in the Bible whose relationships with God we can learn from today. Each of these leaders faced trials, frustration and failure, yet was inspired by God to achieve great goals. In a world where Christian role modes seem increasingly rare, this series reminds us that some of the most worthy examples of godly character are still the biblical figures who brought power, wisdom and inspiration to God’s people through the ages.
