Remembering the Future
This Sunday, our sermon titled "Remembering the Future" invites us to explore the fascinating narrative found in Joshua 3-4. Here, we're called to immerse ourselves in the mighty acts of God as the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land. This pivotal moment is more than just a historical event; it is a rich tapestry woven with divine purpose and spiritual significance.
Our journey begins with the awe-inspiring image of the priests stepping into the river, their faith leading them into uncertain waters. As God miraculously parts the Jordan, we are reminded of His steadfastness and power. This act of divine intervention not only marks the Israelites' passage from wilderness to promise but also serves as a vital lesson for our own lives: we must cross our own Jordans with faith, trusting in God’s providence.
The first point of our sermon, "Celebrate the Past," encourages us to remember and honor God’s faithfulness. Just as the Israelites set up twelve stones from the Jordan's bed as a memorial, we, too, must recall the moments where God has proven His love and reliability in our own stories. Reflecting on these past experiences fortifies our faith and empowers us to face future challenges with courage and hope.
Our second point, "Look to the Future," is a gentle nudge to trust in God's plans for us. The leaders of Israel were commanded to share the story with future generations, a testimony of faith that offers hope. As we share our own experiences of God's faithfulness, we not only strengthen our own faith but also inspire others to trust in God's promises.
By engaging with these scriptures, we are prompted to consider how the past acts of God inform our current path and future journey. Just like the Israelites, who looked back with gratitude and forward with anticipation, we are called to remember the miraculous and prepare our hearts for what lies ahead.
We warmly invite you to join us as we delve deeper into this inspiring part of scripture. Experience the presence of God in our Classic service at 9 am, where tradition meets timeless truths, or embrace a more modern expression of worship at our Contemporary service at 10:30 am. Let us come together to be reminded of God's faithfulness, to celebrate His mighty works, and to prepare our hearts for the promises to come.
