If you are an annual read-through-the Bible person, you'll likely remember those passages in Genesis, Leviticus and other locations where the list of names becomes a tedious read. Nehemiah 11 is one of those chapters where we tend to wonder about God's purpose in including this record of families. Listen with an open mind and prepare to be encouraged as we see a great meaning and purpose behind the names in Nehemiah 11.

After the depressing realization & punishment of Achan's sin in chapter 7, there is no time to stop the conquest of Canaan. Joshua & Israel must continue their God-given task of taking the land. How do you recover lost ground? What should our response be after realizing a sin habit or pattern that needs to be confessed? There is much that can apply to us from this lesson in chapter 8 of the book of Joshua.

It's easy to think that our sin doesn't affect others or change circumstances in the lives of those around us. But as we examine the story of Achan, there is a sobering connection to his sin and to Israel's first defeat in the land of Canaan. Sin does not come without consequences and God is indeed jealous of his holiness against sin. Follow along in Joshua 7 as we learn the ugly effects of secret sin.

It may seem old fashioned to sign a document or take an oath of covenant but throughout the Old Testament we see the emphasis that God placed on commitment to His Law. Israel as a nation had fallen from obedience and as they realized their lack of dedication to the law, they desired to re-establish a covenant with the Lord. What parallels might we find in today's world with this account from Nehemiah 10?
