The Hand of the LORD is Mighty

Dec 28, 2025    Pastor Joel Denney

Pastor Joel examines Joshua 4 and God's command to establish memorial stones after Israel crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land. He emphasizes the importance of remembering God's mighty works through intentional memorials—both physical and spiritual. Just as Israel set up 12 stones to commemorate God's provision and deliverance, believers today must create reminders of God's faithfulness in their lives. Pastor Joel connects Old Testament memorials (Passover, the Jordan crossing, the bronze serpent) to New Testament ordinances (baptism and communion), showing how God has always called His people to remember His works. He challenges the congregation to establish spiritual memorials in their homes and lives, teaching the next generation about God's deliverance from sin and His abundant provision. The ultimate purpose of these memorials is not just personal remembrance but to declare to all peoples that the hand of the Lord is mighty, inspiring obedience and fear of God across generations.
