This week, we continue our Strong and Courageous series through the book of Joshua where God repeatedly tells Joshua to “be strong and courageous” in the face of every challenge ahead. Today we will explore Joshua 7 and the story of Achan, whose hidden sin brought trouble not just on himself but on the entire nation of Israel. It’s a powerful reminder that sin doesn’t just affect us, it impacts others and our relationship with God. Through this passage, we’ll wrestle with what it means to live before a holy God, how sin distorts our alignment with Him, and how His grace realigns our hearts through Jesus. As Timothy Keller said, “Christian living is therefore a continual realignment process—one of bringing everything in line with the truth of the Gospel.” If you’ve ever felt distant from God, or if grace has become a “band-aid” instead of a reason to live differently, this message will call you back to the holiness, mercy, and hope found in Christ.
