David August 13, 2023 \| Luke Davydaitis In Joshua 15 verse 63, we learn that Jerusalem had not yet been captured, which is very significant given how important Jerusalem became. Here Luke speaks about how David achieved this much later (2 Samuel 5:6:7), and how we can learn from David’s faith as we face strongholds today.
