The God of Second Chances

Every one of us at one time or another in our lives have really messed up and we have needed a second chance. In Joshua 7 the children of Israel blew it when one of their own stole from God. This angered God and brought defeat to Israel. In Joshua 8 we find Israel confused and afraid. However, we quickly discover God revealing Himself as the God of second chances. In the end Israel accepts God’s second chance and experiences victory over their enemy. Turn in your Bibles to Joshua 8 and let’s see what we can learn about how to receive a second chance from God when we sin and don’t follow God’s plan and experience defeat.
