SOSIAY: The Story of Joshua as a Great Adventure
This week, Dr. Joel mentions the narrative of the story of Joshua. What happens in this story is like a great adventure in which God guides Joshua with the purpose of reclaiming the land of Canaan. God sends them on a military responsibility. The Book of Joshua gives the sense that God calls his people to full obedience. But there is a danger lurking in these lands, who are the gods of the nations. Entering the book of Joshua we also see that the book of Jasher is mentioned, but what is the book of Jasher? Finally, we see in the New Testament a story in the Book of Luke that deals with a Pharisee from the religious elite and a woman who considers herself a sinner. 📕 Dr. Joel's Bible Study: https://a.co/d/2LR3QAp📕 Order Dr. Joel's Book, "The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility" - https://bit.ly/muddamalleresources

Was Goliath actually a giant?
In this episode, I explain the lineage of Goliath's family, its origins, and history. The Nephilim are also an important topic here, as they were powerful, mighty, and famous. The Nephilim were giant, semi-divine beings who caused chaos in the world. I also explain who the New Testament demons really were and their relationship with the Nephilim.Join me as I explore these fascinating connections in this video reaction from House of David!📺 Watch on YouTube: Was Goliath actually a giant? - YouTube📖 Resources to help you grow in the Word:📕 Dr. Joel’s Bible Study: https://a.co/d/2LR3QAp📕 Order Dr. Joel’s Book, The Hidden Peace: https://bit.ly/muddamalleresources📖 Dr. Joel uses the Christian Standard Bible—Get 40% off with code TTT40: lifeway.com/en/shop/bibles/csb#Christianity #Theology #BibleStudy #History #Gospel

SOSIAY: God or Gods? Deuteronomy 32 Worldview.
This week, Dr. Joel analyzes Deuteronomy 32. Which may be one of those crucial Old Testament verses that is unfortunately often overlooked and misinterpreted. There are also certain passages whose translations are imprecise and may even contain some errors. Deuteronomy 32 is so important because it actually sets the stage for Joshua's conquest to enter and occupy the Promised Land. Part of the occupation involves dealing with the false gods of the nations in order to handle the Nephilim. 📕 Dr. Joel's Bible Study: https://a.co/d/2LR3QAp 📕 House of David: A Theologian's Analysis: Introduction and Cosmic Geography: bit.ly/42bHNoi 📕Jude 9: Dispute Over Moses’ Body (Part 1): https://surl.li/mhqxpp 📕Jude 9: Dispute Over Moses' Body (Part 2): https://surli.cc/wizycv

SOSIAY: The Cross of Christ Has Been Commercialized.
There are certain words in our context and society that have lost their meaning and reverence, and I believe the cross is one of those things. The cross of Christ has been commercialized to a point where it is more fashionable to wear a cross than to live the type of life the cross demands. 📕 Order Dr. Joel's Book, "The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility" - https://bit.ly/muddamalleresources📕 Dr. Joel uses the Christian Standard Bible.

David and the Cosmic War: Finishing What Joshua Started.
Why does cosmic geography matter in David’s story—and in the entire biblical narrative?From Genesis 11, where the people gathered on the plains of Shinar to build a tower, to Israel’s key battles, the Bible shows that ancient people believed geography was deeply tied to supernatural realities. Mountains, for example, were seen as sacred meeting places between God and humanity. But how does this shape our understanding of David’s mission? And how is he continuing what Joshua started?Join me as we explore these fascinating connections in this video reaction!📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Muddamalle📖 Resources to help you grow in the Word:📕 Dr. Joel’s Bible Study: https://a.co/d/2LR3QAp📕 Order Dr. Joel’s Book, The Hidden Peace: https://bit.ly/muddamalleresources📖 Dr. Joel uses the Christian Standard Bible—Get 40% off with code TTT40: lifeway.com/en/shop/bibles/csb

SOSIAY: What Does the Red Heifer Represent in the Bible?
In the book of Numbers chapter 19 we have the presence of the red heifer. We see that the red heifer has significant biblical importance, because it was used for purification rituals. But, what does this have to do with the modern day implications? 📕 Dr. Joel's Bible Study: https://a.co/d/2LR3QAp

SOSIAY: God Speaks to Us as a Merciful King.
In this week's video, Dr. Joel explains some important topics. One point he touches on is why the anointing took place when Moses finished assembling the Tabernacle. Anointing with oil was an act rich with meaning and is further developed in the New Testament. He also explains how the Lord speaks to Moses from above the mercy seat.What this teaches us is that when God speaks to us, He speaks as a merciful King. What did Jesus do for us? It is on the cross that He extends the greatest amount of mercy and compassion, making it possible for all who repent of their sins to turn to Him. The cross is God speaking to us from that place of mercy.
