Sunday's sermon was out of Joshua 3 & 4 when the Isrealites cross over the Jordan River. The Lord went before them pushing back the flood water so that the people could pass through on dry land. When they arrived at the other side they were told to set up rocks of rememberence to serve as a sign. So that future generations would know what the Lord had done. To be a memorial.
The service included some incredible testimonies of God's faithfulness and His peace. One family had been through a head on car collision and walked away, God had protected them. Another had their home destroyed by fire but God saved them, that night they were all out of the home, instead of in the rooms that were destroyed. They talked about there experiences very openly, the strengths and weaknesses they felt. I cried!
Pastor Brad encouraged us to all think of how God has moved in our lives. Wether it be 10 years ago, last year, last week or yesterday...God has moved! And to not let those things he has done be forgotten. The congregation wrote on post-it notes some of those things he has done and attatched them to a memorial in the atrium. There were some incredibly awesome things posted. Marriages healed, lives saved, God's provision...on and on thousands of yellow post-its testifying to God's goodness.
As a part of a bible study last year we were asked to do a timeline of our lives. Highlighting milestones and remembering what God has done. I think it is time to bring that out....and remember.
