During the pregame show pastor tells us that earthquakes and wars at the same time are a big deal.
But we must now start the sermon. Pastor's plan is to get to Jacob's limp and connect that with other events. Where we are now... Joshua with Achan.
So here's your list:
Achan ?
36 Dead ?
Beautiful Garment ?
Pastor ties these together and asks, When God says “Beautiful Garment”, what does He mean?
As you listen you'll learn that God always protects His plan of salvation.
God is coming in Joshua 6. That's a big deal. In Joshua 7 Israel is in serious danger. What is this Garment? Is it a covering like the Ark of the Covenant? Remember Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6? Yah, he was killed for touching the Ark. So is this the same sort of thing?
Pastor reads a request from the Internet. Someone is asking about the numerology of the number 36. Pastor goes on to talk about the 36. The majority position is that these 36 are Achan's children. That is not a God honoring position. In this case it's a good time to break from the crowd.
So... pastor will spend some time on the 36. It's going to help you solve the Garment and other things... the motives of Achan.
Pastor is asked, How do you know the Bible is true? His answer is that it testifies of Christ on every page.
Pastor has us add up the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 36. Do you know what it is? Hint: It's Evil. But wait... there's more. Pastor gets into "The Evil". We have God there dealing with the 36 Men. Hum... Might be important.
Add Achan to the 36. So what is so important about the number 37? Want to know? It's time to find out. You might want to stop reading this and press play.
