The Consequences of Sin

In this powerful sermon, The Consequences of Sin (Joshua 7:1–5), Pastor Byron Chesney lays bare the devastating ripple effect of disobedience through the story of Achan’s hidden sin. Drawing from Israel’s crushing defeat at Ai, he outlines three undeniable truths: sin provokes God’s wrath, causes us to lose His favor and protection, and brings harm to everyone around us—including our families and churches. What began as one man’s selfish act ended in national defeat, death, and destruction. Pastor Chesney doesn’t stop at judgment—he closes with the hope of forgiveness through Jesus Christ, urging sinners to confess and forsake their sin before it ruins more than just themselves. Sin has consequences—but Christ offers mercy. Don’t delay. Come home.
