God makes promises to Joshua just as promises had been made to Moses about the land they were to possess and how God was to protect them on their journey. Keep in mind that those on the journey are now the children, grandchildren, or maybe even great grandchildren of the Israelites that were freed. They have been journeying their whole lives, they have heard God\u2019s promises, they have followed Moses\u2019 lead and now Joshua is called upon to be the leader of God\u2019s people and lead them into the promised land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s story tells us about Joshua readying and taking the Israelites across the Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: I would encourage you to read a few verses further than the lectionary gives us today. If you include the next seven verses (Joshua 4:1-7) you will hear about the setting of the 12 stones to help the future generations remember their crossing over through the Jordan, into the promised land. I\u2019ve included it as optional below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Written by <strong>the Rev.

data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3476171_33a8db-dd\">Scripture: Matthew 23:1-12<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have heard lots of parables and teachings in the last few weeks addressed to the people who were testing Jesus, the religious leaders who were challenging him. Today, however, he outright addresses their behavior. He\u2019s letting all those around him (not just Jews, but anyone in authority) that it is not right to order others around and lay your heavy burdens on them while you sit by showing how wonderful you are. Matthew has already touched on this a bit in Chapter 6 when he talks about practicing your piety in front of others. For Matthew, it is our true, actions that speak of who we are and how we follow Christ. It is not about showing others what we do or how we follow, but the action and the following that are important. We also see this in Matthew 20:25-26, \u201cBut Jesus called them to him and said, \u2018You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.&nbsp;It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a message that will greatly resonate with children, especially older children who have seen people in authority say one thing and do another or order others around while they do nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>Written by <strong>the Rev.
