JOSHUA - WEEK 7 // AI, ACHAN, AND HIDDEN SIN

Previously, the Israelites encountered the large city of Jericho, but it was a small battle with God on their side. In contrast, Ai was a small city but a massive defeat without God on their side. Achan, one of the Israelites, chose to sin and hide it. He, his whole family, along with the Israelites suffered consequences due to Achan's sin. When Joshua and Israel repented of their sins, they were able to recover God’s plan - to move forward into the Promised Land and accomplish all that God had for them.
