This Bible study devotional covers Joshua chapters 19-21. In this passage, we will discuss the common themes of wealth and poverty.

As always, we are committed to showing you how to see the good news of the Gospel in every passage of Scripture. In Proverbs 23-25, we see that when we trust in the wisdom and kingdom of Jesus more than the wealth of men, all our needs will be provided for.
