White Horse Church Sermon Audio

This is the moment when the tension built up all through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, numbers and deuteronomy. They've been waiting sooo long to enter the land that God had promised them, the land flowing with milk and honey, a land of their own possession, the place where they would build the temple, and finally have rest. They get all the way to edge of the promised land, the precipice of everything they've been hoping for and promised and they run into a huge, impassable river! Joshua sees this not as an obstacle, but an opportunity to see God display his power and grace to his people. God then makes the opportunity obvious as he tells Joshua he is going to work through him as he worked through Moses by splitting the river in half. Joshua acts not out of his own strength, but in faith steps out and follows God into the river. God miraculously splits the river as he did for Moses, and God leads his people into the promised land.
