Remember the Past, Moving Forward | Onohili Ejodame | Joshua 4

In this sermon, we explore the powerful moment when the Israelites crossed the River Jordan into the Promised Land. After God miraculously stopped the waters, He didn’t immediately give battle strategies for Jericho — instead, He commanded them to build a memorial of twelve stones. Why? Because before facing future battles, they needed to remember God’s past faithfulness. This sermon unpacks the importance of “memorial stones” — reminders of God’s power, provision, and promises. Just as the Israelites needed reminders, we too need to remember what God has done in our lives. Forgetting weakens faith, but remembering fuels courage.
