Summary
After God miraculously parts the Jordan River, His first command isn't to charge forward, but to stop and remember. In this sermon on Joshua 4,
Pastor Anson explores why God commands Israel to build two memorials—one on land and one hidden in the riverbed. We learn that God, the true main character of our story, wants us to intentionally remember His faithfulness. These "memorials" are not just for celebrating past victories; they are vital for helping us trust Him during today's emergencies and our "seasons of drought."
The ultimate measure of great leadership isn't talent or results, but simple, humble faithfulness to God.
Key Points:
- God wants me to remember things that are actually worth remembering.
- Remembering how God was faithful to me yesterday helps me to trust Him during today's emergencies.
- What makes a leader a great leader is faithfulness to God.
Reflect & Discuss:
- What "memorial stones" (answered prayers, moments of provision) can you set up in your own life to remember God's faithfulness?
- How does remembering God's past faithfulness change your perspective on a current "drought" or emergency you are facing?
- In what area of your life is God calling you to be a "great leader" through simple, humble faithfulness and obedience?
