UNCROSSABLE RIVERS (3 of 12)
Jerry Vines
JOSHUA 3-4
2/1/95
Some of you may have come tonight and there is an
uncrossable river in your life. Looming just before
you there is a river that seems impossible to deal
with. This third and fourth chapter of Joshua will
tell us how to cross the uncrossable rivers in our
lives.
As chapter 3 begins the children of Israel are on

great miracles He performed in the life of the
children of Israel. The crossing of the Jordan is one
of the major events in all of the Bible.

What God did for the children of Israel in the Old

you do on your job. It has a great deal to do with
how you conduct yourself at school. It has everything
to do with the way you lead and guide in your home and
in your family. The things we are going to study
tonight bear in a practical way on your daily life, on
what you are experiencing day by da ...
