Joshua 7 - Their courage melted away

Sabbath School From Home

The difficult story of Achan and his family being destroyed again raises the question of "God's endgame".

Achan and his family stole plunder from Jericho against the specific command to set these things apart for God. Worse, they lied about it and buried the treasure suggesting deliberate deception. There's a lot to be horrified in this story, but perhaps the most intriguing thing is that it shows sin and disobedience within Israel. We discuss how this obvious truth impacts the overall narrative of conquering the Promised Land.
