TRANSCRIPT

Joshua 4:4-7So Joshua called together the twelve

men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the

middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder,

according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when

your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that

the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of

the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan

were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel

forever.”

Genesis 9:11-13I establish my covenant with

you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a

flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making

between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations

to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it

will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Joshua 4:4-7So Joshua called together the twelve

men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the

middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder,

according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when

your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that

the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of

the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan

were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel

forever.”

1) The Feast of the Passover

Exodus 11:4-7So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About

midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn

son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than

there has ever been or ever will be again. But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any

person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and

Israel.

Exodus 12:12-13, 22, 33“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike

down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.13 The blood will be a sign for you on the

houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you

when I strike Egypt.

22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on

both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.

33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will

all die!” 

2) Day of WorshipMark 2:27

3) Meal of Remembrance

I Corinthians 11:26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this

cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

I Corinthians 10:16-17 - Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a

participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is

one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
