1. God granted his people victory (1-19)

God led his people to a battle of strategic importance. God presented an unusual battle plan. The Israelite army, led by an armed guard, then the Ark, carried by priests, would circle the city, once a day for six days. The priests blew trumpets. On the seventh day, they circled the city seven times, blowing their trumpets. At the right time, everyone shouted and attacked. It was uniquely a plan from God. It required strong faith.

2. The Lord granted them victory (20-27)

When they obeyed the Lord's directions, the walls fell. They stormed the city and conquered it. They dedicated the entire city to the Lord. They even kept their covenant to spare Rahab and her family. God could work through them because their hearts were made right by him and they obeyed God.
