Chapters Mentioning Jericho

Hebrews

The People Who Trusted What They Couldn't See

The author of Hebrews rolls out the ultimate highlight reel — story after story of people who trusted God before they ever saw the payoff. From Abel to nameless heroes who died in caves, this chapter redefines what faith actually looks like when everything is on the line.

James

The Chapter That Won't Let You Off the Hook

James calls out the church for playing favorites, drops one of the Bible's most quotable lines about mercy, then makes the case that faith without action isn't really faith at all. This chapter will make you uncomfortable in the best possible way.

Luke

The Story That Changed the Question

Jesus sends out seventy-two followers with nothing but a message, drops one of the most famous stories ever told about a man left for dead on a road, and gently reminds a busy friend that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop and sit.

Luke

The Ones Who Won't Give Up

Jesus tells two parables about prayer that nobody saw coming, blesses the children everyone tried to turn away, and has a conversation with a rich man that left everyone asking the same question: then who can be saved?

Luke

The Day Nobody Saw Coming

Jesus walks into Jericho and singles out the most hated man in town. Then he tells a story about what you do with what you've been given. And then he rides into Jerusalem — and everything shifts.

Mark

Who Actually Gets In

Jesus tackles marriage, welcomes children everyone else pushed aside, watches a wealthy man walk away, and redefines greatness in a way that still hasn't sunk in. Then a blind man on the side of the road shows everyone what real faith looks like.

Matthew

The Family Tree Nobody Expected

Matthew opens his Gospel with a family tree that's anything but boring — full of outsiders, scandals, and unlikely heroes. Then he tells the story of how Jesus actually arrived: through a confused carpenter, a teenage girl, and an angel who showed up in a dream.

Matthew

The Upside-Down Kingdom

Jesus tells a story about workers who all get the same pay, predicts his own death for the third time, flips the script on what greatness actually looks like, and heals two blind men who wouldn't take no for an answer.
