Crossing the River

In this sermon, Pastor Sam McGrew continues an ongoing conversation about who we are as a church, what God has called us to, and where we believe He is leading us next. Drawing from Joshua 1 and 3, Sam uses Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River as a picture of stepping into a new season with faith, courage, and spiritual ownership. He explores the call to consecrate ourselves, follow God’s Word, move in God’s timing, and rely completely on His presence as we step beyond what is familiar. Just as Israel had to step into the overflowing Jordan before God opened the way, we are called to trust God and take ownership of the work He has placed before us. The message also explores the practical steps of pursuing this vision through deeper discipleship, stronger home groups, and a renewed commitment to prayer and fasting as we seek to become a house of prayer and see our community transformed.
