You Can’t Go Back || Joshua 4 (Session 6)

You can’t go back once God brings you through. In this verse-by-verse study of Joshua 4, Reasoning Through the Bible follows Israel after the Jordan crossing and explores why God commanded twelve memorial stones to be taken from the riverbed and set up as a lasting testimony for future generations. This Bible study explores: why God told Israel to build a memorial with twelve stones what it means for children to ask, “What do these stones mean?” why teaching the next generation was so important in Israel how Christian parents today can preserve and pass on their testimony why the priests had to stand firm in the river until the work was done what it means that Israel had “passed over” why the Jordan closing behind them becomes a powerful picture of no turning back how true salvation changes a person so that the old life can never fit the same way again A major takeaway from this session is that God’s people must remember and must teach. Memorials matter because hearts forget. Joshua 4 reminds believers that they should intentionally tell their children and future generations what God has done, not leave the story untold. This chapter also gives a needed challenge about perseverance. The priests were told to stand in place until the work was finished. In the same way, believers today are called to remain faithful in the assignment God has given them instead of growing restless because others seem to be doing more visible things. In this Bible study: Joshua 4 verse by verse memorial stones meaning passing faith to children Christian testimony and remembrance standing firm in ministry crossed over the Jordan salvation and no turning back God’s faithfulness down to the day why remembering matters This is part of an ongoing verse-by-verse Bible study through Joshua from Reasoning Through the Bible.
