Title: Achan for a Break'in (4)
Series: His Story
Author: Joey Rodgers
Text: Joshua 7:1-26
In 3rd grade, I had to walk to school every day, usually w/ a friend/sibling. One day, my neighbor/I, decided we needed a day off - so..., we skipped school - and we had a big time. Little did we know the school would call our parents to ask if we were home sick. Needless to say, when I arrived home, my mother was waiting at the door - "JIR (or your name is mud) - where have you been - your sins have found you out!" UGH!
Today, in our His Story series, I want to introduce you to Achan - who was ach'in for a break'in!
Achan is the poster-child for your sins will find you out. He learned the hard way that - sin will always take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you're willing to pay.
Yet Achan's story is NOT unusual, but serves as a reminder of how easily we can all be swept into sin if were not vigilant to follow the leading of the H.S.
Let me remind you of his story. As the Israelites were walking around Jericho, on the 7th day, Joshua told them to spare no one and to take nothing. Not a spoon, goat, or t-shirt (even if it had a camel saying, I went to Jericho and all I brought back was this dumb shirt) - b/c God had already claimed dibs! (READ)
On the 7th day, they arose at daybreak and marched around the city (7x) as before, except that on that day they circled the city (7x). The 7th time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet, Joshua commanded the army, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city - and all that's in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are in her house shall be spared, b/c she hid the spies we sent. But keep away from the devoted things, so you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Other-wise, you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. All the silver/gold and the art ...
