In this week's message, we learned about the terrible history of the valley of Achor and what it represented to the nation of Israel. But now, in Hosea 2:15 we see that valley of turmoil being transformed into a door of hope.
The story starts with the hidden sin of Achan, which doesn't stay hidden. But before it is brought to light it causes the army of Israel to suffer defeat. This leads to a dramatic revealing of Achan’s sin and the consequences that come with it. Have you been struggling with some hidden sin? What is keeping you from confessing it and repenting from it? Will you let God turn that valley of turmoil into a door of hope?
Maybe this isn't where you are in life right now, but you have a valley of Achor story from your past. Would you share how God worked in your life to redeem that situation as an encouragement for your group and as an example of God's goodness?
When we think about how Jesus became Achan for us dying for our sin even the secret sin in our lives so that God could see us as good how does that make you feel? How does this truth encourage you to continue the process of sanctification?
