Nothing good comes from turning our backs on God. It’s a sobering reality we see in the people of Israel in Hosea’s timeand also in our culture today.

Vernon McGee, shares as we study how Joshua’s army got the victory at Jericho because God was leading the charge. But in their next battle against the small city of Ai, they were defeatedbecause they thought they could handle it on their own.
