How Sin Keeps You from Victory: Achan’s Cautionary Tale

In this week’s episode of Solid Scripture, Messianic Jewish brothers Josiah and Hosea Geoffrey continue their walk through the Bible with Joshua 7:1-8:35, in which one Israelite named Achan takes forbidden spoil from Jericho, causing Israel to be defeated in battle against the city of Ai, and bringing disaster upon himself and his household. Why would one man’s sin make God angry with the whole people? Can we hide our sins to escape punishment? How do God’s commands reveal our own sinful weaknesses? The brothers cover all these questions and more in this Bible study.
