We continue our study of the themes of books of the Bible with Joshua on this week's episode of One Single Story podcast. Numbers is all about "Victory & Conquest." Pastors Stephen Mizell, Alyssa Bream and Jay Rivenbark look at the theological and practical applications of Joshua, focusing on chapters 7 and 8. In this section, we see the sin of Achan bring death to his whole family and victory in Ai after a failure. Why is the sin of a person held against all people? How do we reconcile God's calling for violence with the message of "turn the other cheek" by Jesus? How much of repentance is action? Why would Jericho's spoils be off limits and Ai's be acceptable? Why are some given second chances and some not throughout the Bible? The instructions of God involved destroying/eliminating some things and dedicating/giving some things. Which is more challenging? Why was it important for God's word to be read publicly by the Leader?
