As Pastor Paul touched on, the motif of "God is With us" and "Trust in God" is still alive and strong in the miniseries' third and fourth episodes. I really like the way they are retelling the stories and touching on this major theme. It seems to be pointing to an overall theme of Jesus being "God with us" when he is born.
It is quite obvious (and this is not a negative thing at all) that the producers, directors and writers of this miniseries always had Jesus in mind first and foremost. I like what they've done so far, and I hear that Jesus is coming this next Sunday, so that is good news indeed!
Things they missed:
1. Conquest of Canaan: To the casual observer on Sunday evening the Israelites defeated Jericho and everything else fell into place. The conquest of Canaan wasn't all neat and tidy for the Israelites though. Immediately after Jericho the Israelites were defeated at Ai because of Achan's sin. Again, I understand and respect that they must blitz through many of these stories for time's sake but there are quite a few gems missed here.
