Part 3: Christ With Us: Standing Strong Forever

Today at CrossLife Church, Pastor Daron takes us back—way back—to one of the most defining moments in the history of faith and the power of God’s Word. From the crossing of the Jordan River in Joshua 4, to Martin Luther’s bold stand at the Diet of Worms in 1521, this message reveals what it means to stand strong on the authority of Scripture and trust in God’s promises through every generation.
This sermon connects biblical history, Reformation history, and our own faith story today, showing how God’s Word remains the solid foundation that never fails.

In this message:
Discover how God’s miraculous “2.0 water miracle” at the Jordan River reminds us that His Word still parts the impossible rivers in our lives.
Learn why Joshua’s twelve stones were more than just rocks—they were a symbol of remembrance and trust in God’s unshakable promises.
Revisit the courage of Martin Luther, who stood before emperors and popes to proclaim that the Bible alone is our highest authority for faith and life.
Reflect on the Reformation truths: grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.
Be challenged to examine your own relationship with God’s Word—are you standing on it, or trying to stand over it?
Be inspired to lead with faith like Joshua, reform like Luther, and trust like those who crossed the Jordan—believing that God’s promises are still piling up the waters for His people today.
As Pastor Daron reminds us, history is really HIStory—God’s handprint pressed into the foundation of our faith, our church, and our lives. “For the Word of God is incomparably superior to the church.” – Martin Luther
