God held back the water of the river Jordan so that the people of Israel could cross on dry ground as they made their way into the land of Canaan. As they crossed, God instructed them to pick up twelve large stones from the river bed, and Joshua arranged them in a pile on the other side. These stones were to remain there as a testimony, a reminder of the faithfulness of God and a mechanism for passing the faith down to through the generations. When we look back on the stories of God's faithfulness, both in our own lives, and in the history of God's people, it helps us to face the obstacles that are yet to come.

God spoke to Moses from the midst of a burning bush. His words were good news about his rescue plan for the people of Israel, but Moses responded saying "Who am I [that I should do this]". God reassures him by promising to be with him and by revealing his great Name, YHWH. What does this name mean? What does it mean for you? Listen to find out.

How are we to know that God's promises will come true? This was a question Abraham asked of God, and it is a common question today. Abraham looked to the past faithfulness of God and the covenant that God made with him. We can look to these same things, and when we do, it will help us to wait patiently.

Sometimes being a Christian can be a hard thing. The struggle against temptation is real, and it can feel like a heavy burden. How can we prevail in the face of temptation? We can follow the example of Jesus who was "tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin."

If you know anything about computers, you will know that they break. Often the fix is simply to push the reset button. Our lives are similar in that they quickly become corrupted by sin. Thankfully we have a God who is loving and merciful. When we come to him in repentance, he pushes the reset button and restores us.

In his last words to his disciples before ascending into Heaven, Jesus commissioned his disciples to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. This remains the mission of the Church today, and we are all called to participate in it. We do this in two primary ways. The first is raising our children and grandchildren in the faith, passing the Gospel from one generation to the next. The other way is through reaching out to people who don't know Jesus and inviting them to come into his kingdom.

Everything belongs to God, and he has made us stewards, or managers, over a portion of what is his. Therefore, we need to manage our resources carefully and generously, knowing that we are accountable to God for the way we handle our time, our talents, and our money. God’s resources are to be used generously for the building up of his kingdom.

Reading and studying the Bible is of the utmost importance as we follow Jesus as Christians. But it is not enough to just read the Bible, we also need to put the things we read into practice. Jesus meets us wherever we are, but he is not content to leave us there, he wants to transform us through his Holy Spirit who he has placed in our hearts. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15, ESV).

To be a disciple is to be a follower of Jesus. Jesus called his disciples and they learned from him by listening to his words and watching his actions. Today we can still learn from Jesus through two foundational disciplines. Reading and studying the Scriptures (and doctrine) and praying.
