Jordan - A Change of Situation

T. Austin-SparksReading: Joshua 3; 4:1-9. The passage of Jordan, about which we read in these verses, is a consummate presentation of what the Lord is saying to us in this series of studies. It must be quite clear to us, as we read it, that it represents a profoundly critical point in the history of the people invo... Read More

Possessing the Inheritance

T. Austin-SparksWe have pointed out that the whole of the New Testament is the spiritual and present-time counterpart of the book of Joshua.
