Preacher: Jerod Beck

Summary

In this powerful exploration of Joshua 3, Pastor Jerod Beck unpacks the miraculous story of Israel crossing the Jordan River. Discover how God turns impossible situations into showcases for His glory. This sermon challenges us to cultivate a "spiritual FOMO"—a holy fear of missing out on what God wants to do in and through us. Learn why preparing our hearts and walking in simple, step-by-step obedience are the keys to experiencing God's wonders and trusting in His unchanging, promise-keeping nature.

Key Points

  • There is value in preparing an encounter with the LORD.
    • Pray
    • Fasting from: Food, Entertainment, Social media
    • Read the previous Sunday's passage and read ahead a passage.
  • The LORD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
  • We are to obey the God of the impossible.

Reflect & Discuss

  1. What practical steps can you take this week to "consecrate" yourself and prepare your heart to meet with God and His people on Sunday?
  2. Reflecting on God's past faithfulness in your own life, how does that empower you to trust Him with an "impossible" situation you're facing right now?
