Building Memorials to Remember: Reflecting on God’s Blessings and New Beginnings

In Joshua 4, the Israelites are instructed to create memorials to commemorate God's miraculous deeds. We often forget the blessings and victories He has given us. These memorial stones symbolize reminders of our experiences with God and serve as teaching moments for future generations. They invite us to reflect on His goodness, share our stories, and encourage us to trust Jesus for new beginnings, releasing past defeats. Join us in exploring how memorials enrich our faith and keep our memories alive!
