Summary
Joshua 7 illustrates how Achan's private sin—stealing devoted things from Jericho—triggers God's judgment on all Israel, resulting in military defeat and 36 deaths. The sermon warns that sin always has public consequences and calls listeners to confess hidden sin and surrender areas of life (control, time, money) they withhold from God.
Highlights
What you cover, God will uncover. And what you uncover, God will cover.
Your sin never only affects you. It may seem like it's under the surface for a little while, but eventually your sin comes out.
Personal private sin can have massive public impact.
