Welcome to episode 50 of After God's Heart. We hope you have enjoyed this program as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you every week. We're in the middle of a series on the Book of Joshua, and today, we are looking at chapter 3. To this point, God has set aside Joshua as the new leader of Israel. He has identified the task of leading Israel into the land of Israel. The task that God is asking Israel to do in Joshua chapter 3 isn't a difficult task. In fact, what He is asking of them is pretty simple. Just walk from here to there. What makes this task difficult is the obstacle between those two locations.

Take your Bibles, turn to Joshua 3, and look at a message entitled, The Impassable River and the Untrodden Path.
