Let's Calculate The Cost Of Hidden Sin – Part 2 of 2

January 22, 2024

Many of us keep our sins a secret, feeling sure we can contain the damage. Yet when Achan stole, the people of Israel suffered as a whole. In this message from Joshua 7, Pastor Lutzer warns against managing our sins rather than confessing and forsaking them. God takes sin seriously.

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.
