Now that we are out of Egypt

Next month we will once again be back into the regular programs at the church which will include adult class in the morning and Sundays at Six. For Sundays at Six we will be doing a study on the Tabernacle while in the morning we will conclude our studies in Joshua. Because we will be focusing in the blog on the Tabernacle I thought I would take some time to look at what the studies in Joshua will include.

I first want to spend time looking at the Gospel. We need the Gospel preached to us everyday.

They were out of Egypt. They were saved so why did they need to cross the Jordan? They were okay, they were safe, the land on the east of Jordan was fertile. Two and one half tribes already had taken up residence there.

Like many today they feel that they are saved therefore they are okay. They don't need the Gospel. They heard it, they accepted it and now leave us alone. However, the crossing of Jordan wasn't just entering into the promise land which was for a select few. The promises and the inheritance of God is for everyone. The Gospel is salvation from our sins and the judgment to come but it is much more than that. There has to be a break from the past and go on with God. We need the Gospel every day of our lives.
