Reality: Sin often catches its prey when they least expect it (1-5)

After a stunning victory in Jericho, everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next. The next city on the march into Canaan was the city of AI and Israel was anxious to see a great victory here as well. The only problem was that sin is insidious, sin can sneak in when we least expect it and bring with it horrible devastation. In the case of Israel, sin in the camp brought about defeat and loss of life. The momentous victory of Jericho was dwarfed by the devastating defeat in AI. In order to understand this pendulum swing we must understand how sin entered and took hold in the camp.

The first sin we see is

Achan's Sin

In verse 1 I am struck that Achan's sin became Israel's sin.

Joshua's Sin

MTR: Take time right now, search for sin, and confess sin to God?

Response to Reality: The wrong response to the reality of sin is often self-centered (6-9).

We shouldn't have stepped out in faith -> God failed us.

Others will hear of our failure -> God cannot protect us.

What will you do for your name -> God needs us.

MTR: Ask yourself, how do I respond to sin in a self-centered way?

Example: God give me victory over this sin verse God you have already won victory over this sin.

Response to Reality: The proper responser to the reality of sin is an invitation to God (10-18).

God is qualified to identify sin.

God cares more about a real solution than a quick fix. (13)

God is qualified to identify the sinner

Response to Reality: Ruthlessly eliminate sin from your life (19-26).

Sin must be laid out before the Lord.

Sin must be recognized and responded to for the trouble it brings.
