Study 13: Joshua 7: 1-26: Trent Evans

Hidden Sins: Explore this sermon on Joshua Chapter 7, focusing on the story of Achan, who disobeyed God by taking forbidden spoils during the conquest of Jericho, leading to Israel’s defeat at Ai. Highlighting the consequences of sin and disobedience, and emphasizing the impact of individual actions on the community, Trent explores the idea that hidden sins can weaken and destroy -not just individuals- but entire communities. Achan's story is a cautionary tale about the importance of upholding God’s commandments to maintain divine favor and ensure collective success. The sermon, delivered on Mother’s Day, called on the congregation to reflect on their personal and communal commitments to God's laws, urging them to examine any hidden sins that might hinder their spiritual well-being.
