Text:. Joshua 3

Setting the Stage:

Body

God expects his people to follow him one step at a time (1-6).

The people were commanded to follow the ark.

The people were not told where they would go.

The people were reminded that they followed none other than God.

MTR: Ask, what is the next step God wants from me?

God uses his provision to remind his people that he is among them (7-11).

It was not about the tool but the one wielding the tool.

It was not about the strength of the enemy but the one leading the charge.

It was not about the size of the obstacle but the faith of the follower

MTR: Ask yourself, how do I need to be reminded that God is among us?

God often works through faithful leaders who step out and demonstrate faith (12-17).

The priests were called to step out in faith.

The priests were called to remain in the middle.

The people were called on to continue marching forward.

MTR: If you are a leader then ask, how is God asking me to step out?

MTR: If you are not a leader then ask, how is God asking me to push forward?
