#9 - WHY CHRISTIAN STILL NEED TO THINK ABOUT SIN (+1 Worship Song)

#9 in the series HOW SHALL WE STUDY OUR OLD TESTAMENTS? Chapter seven presents an amazing contrast to chapter six. In chapter 6 what seemed an impossible task is accomplished with ease. In chapter 7 what seems at first to be an easy task becomes almost impossible. Chapter 6 closes with the conquest of Jericho and such glowing words of hope - "So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land”(27). You’re left with the feeling that everything would then be coming up roses for the new leader and his trusting people. How could they miss with this great God on their side? Joshua’s military reputation was already the stuff of legend. The people were now established in their promised land. They had taken the strongest fortified city. They had the ark of the Lord. Then the opening words of chapter seven sound with dark music in the background.
