Preaching from Hebrews. James Earl Massey

(Josh 5:13–15). When Joshua realized that he was confronted by the Lord’s angelic messenger, he fell submissively before him, listening for instructions. The writer here appeals to his readers to take the listening posture before the word of God. Openness to that word keeps one on good terms with God, to whom all are unavoidably accountable.
