Joshua (Week 5)

Scripture Reading: Joshua 7-8

Understand the Passage:

1. Who was Achan and what did he do?
2. What seems different about Joshua's approach in preparing to take the city of Ai?
3. After the defeat in Ai, what complaint did Joshua raise with God?
4. What was the outcome of the second raid on Ai? What had changed to create this outcome?

Application:
1. How can prosperity and overconfidence impact our intimacy with God?
2. When have you found your faith in God to be most "shaken?" What were the circumstances and what resulted from that time of uncertainty?
3. What do you learn about the Lord's character through these events? How might we apply this understanding of him to our lives today?
