Preacher: Anson McMahon

Summary

What is the most important thing you could ever remember?

Continuing the series in Joshua with Pastor Anson McMahon, this sermon explores the crossing of the Jordan River and the command to build a memorial of 12 stones. We discover why this act of obedience was crucial, contrasting the faithfulness of Joshua's generation with the disobedience of their parents.

The core message is a powerful reminder that God's faithfulness is not just a past event, but an active, present-tense reality.

This sermon challenges us to trust God's timing, walk in immediate obedience, and intentionally pass our faith to the generations that follow.

Key Points:

• Obedience to God is the key to experiencing the best that God has for me.
• God's timing can always be trusted.
• God doesn't just care about my generation - God cares about the generations yet to come.

Reflect & Discuss:

1. In what area of your life are you currently living as if God doesn't know what He's talking about?
2. How might your life look different if you fully surrendered to God's commands, trusting that His way is the best?
3. What "memorials" are you building in your own life to ensure the next generation knows about the mighty hand of the Lord?
