Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the early ministry of Joshua, drawing parallels between Joshua and Jesus. He emphasises that both figures relied heavily on the Word of God in their missions.

The Reverend encourages listeners to reflect on, meditate on, and obey the teachings of all 66 books of the Bible, just like Joshua and Jesus did.

Rev. Richard Brunton focuses on the book of Joshua in the Bible. He highlights Joshua's leadership after Moses' death, and particularly his role in the Battle of Jericho. He emphasises the importance of Joshua's strategic decision to send spies into the land, which not only provided valuable military information but also saved Rahab, a woman whose lifestyle was considered sinful. This story serves as an example of unexpected individuals stepping up to serve God's work.

Rev. Richard Brunton continues his teachings on Joshua, focusing on the story of Jericho and the subsequent battle at the city of AI. He narrates how Joshua leads the Israeli troops to victory at Jericho, where a city is destroyed and a prostitute is saved. However, at AI, Joshua is met with unexpected failure. Upon seeking guidance from God, Joshua discovers that a man has disobeyed God's command not to take spoils from Jericho.

Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the Biblical story of Gideon from the book of Judges. He explores the cycle of Israel's people falling into sin, then returning to God under the guidance of appointed judges, only to repeat the cycle after a judge's death. Emphasis is placed on Gideon, who is distressed by the people's disobedience and consequent suffering.

Rev. Richard Brunton discusses a new aspect of the story of Gideon. He explains that despite Gideon being overwhelmed by God’s call to resist the Midianites, God saw him as a mighty warrior. This was not because of Gideon’s inherent strength, but because of what God could make him if he submitted and obeyed God's word.

Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the life of Samson, one of the judges of Israel. He highlights how Israel's societal health ebbed and flowed with the rise and fall of its godly judges. When a judge passed, the people often fell into sinful habits until they pleaded for a new leader, a cycle that occurred repeatedly. The story of Samson begins in a period of struggle against the Philistines. Samson, a Nazarite, was dedicated to God from birth.

Rev. Richard Brunton continues discussing the biblical story of Samson. Samson is portrayed as a judge blessed with incredible strength to help deliver God's people from their enemies, particularly the Philistines.

After revealing the source of his power, his hair is cut, his strength vanishes, and he is captured and imprisoned.

Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the importance of Jesus's genealogy as outlined in Matthew 1. Some unexpected names are included in the list, which highlights God's plan for Jesus to be born a Jew with a heritage.

The inclusion of these figures shows that Jesus was both truly human and divine.

Rev. Richard Brunton explores the story from Luke 3, focusing on the preparation of the prophet, who would pave the way for Jesus' public ministry. This prophet was John the Baptist, conceived miraculously by Elizabeth and Zachariah. John would grow to be a fearless voice, calling out unrighteousness and preaching repentance. His birth and ministry were crucial in the events leading to Jesus' birth in Bethlehem as prophesied by Isaiah.
