October 19, 2025 - Joshua 7

Sometimes the most difficult stories can lead us to the most powerful truths.  This account of a man named Achan is one of those stories.  Achan was a man who carried something we all can understand: a mistake, a failure, that he kept hidden.  Psychologists tell us that shameful secrets and unspoken guilt do incredible damage to our whole person.  But how could we ever bring what is in the dark, bring what is hidden, out into the open?  Through Achan's story, we will see how our gracious and redeeming God can turn our deepest troubles into a door of hope.
