Open your Bibles to Joshua 4:1-7
Memorial Day in America…what does it mean?
I’d like to take a moment of silence to thank, and honor all who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, our freedoms, and our families.
This isn’t going to be your typical Memorial Day Service. We are here to honor God above all else and today as your pastor I’m going to point you to Jesus just like I’m supposed to do.
Through the power of the Lord…
- Moses parted the Red Sea…Exodus 14:21
- Joshua parted the Jordan…Joshua 3:15
- Elijah parted the Jordan…2 Kings 2:8
- Elisha parted the Jordan…2 Kings 2:14
- Technically…God separated the waters from the dry land…Genesis 1:9
What should be our true memorial?
Who did Jesus die for?
- Jesus died for the Jewish people…wrong!
- Jesus died for Christian people…wrong!
- Jesus died for the elect…wrong!
Our memorial is the cross…it’s not an idol though and should never be. Just a memorial.
- Jesus has RISEN!
- JESUS HAS CONQUERED DEATH!
- JESUS IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE!
- WE WHO BELIEVE ARE ALIVE WITH CHRIST JESUS!
Romans 8:38 “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Let us Celebrate the Risen Christ and hold memorial in our hearts everyday!
