面對隱而未現的罪 Confronting Hidden Sins
在我們的四周有多細菌, 我們是看不見的, 但它們會害死我們的, 同樣的, 我們屬靈的生命也有細菌, 我們稱它們為罪, 罪也會害死我們的, 我們當勇敢面對罪, 特別是那些隱而未現的罪。以色列人在艾城的失敗, 因為有三種隱藏的罪沒有解決: 1.輕視敵人的力量 2.輕視神發出的命令 3.輕視自己的軟弱。
Sins are like viruses or germs; they can kill us even when unseen, and our sins can “infect” others spiritually without our knowledge. This week, let us listen and learn as Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shows us how Israel’s hidden sins led to their defeat at Ai.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– Share a time when your decision affected somebody or when someone’s decision affected you.
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. What did Joshua and the elders fail to do? How did they respond when they were defeated?
– What sin did Achan commit? What are the consequences of his sins?
– What do you think about having the whole assembly suffer the consequences of Achan’s sin?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– In what way do you resonate with Joshua?
– In what way do you resonate with Achan?
– What is your attitude when your sin is made known to you (through a devotion, through a friend, etc.)? Share an experience. How could you respond better?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– What are some truths that you need to remember when you are tempted to sin? Write these down.
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
– Spend a few minutes in silence. Pray individually and ask God to reveal any hidden sins in our heart.
– Pray as a group. Seek the Lord to have a heart that accepts correction from Him, to honestly bring our sins to God and ask for God’s forgiveness, and to respond in obedience as God reveals our sins and His love and mercy toward us.
