Joshua 4:
Memorials are an important part of our history.
They make us remember the pain, the struggle, and the victories of life.
The world is moving so fast that people quickly forget the things of yesterday dealing with the things of today.
Memorials can be in the form of stone, national holidays, or even books.

Train the Next Generation in the wonders of God.
Over and over again in the scriptures we are commanded to train the children, to instruction them, and nurture them in the ways of the Lord.
Why do you suppose we have middle schoolers claiming to be atheist or agnostic.
Because we are not passing down the wonders of God.
There’s no memorials of God being taught in the home anymore.
Josh 4:21
God’s heart is in the children’s ministry.
God knows that training up the children is the key to changing the world.
If we fail to train the children we lose a generation.
When you teach the kids the wonders of God you are reminded of them again.
The children’s ministry should be the dearest thing to our hearts, but yet we can’t get people to even volunteer.
You want to change a generation?
You don’t have to be a great evangelist.
Just show up and love on some kids next Sunday.
you don’t have to take them home you just got to teach them for an hour and a half.
(Pull out your phones and open up Church Center) Our kids ministry needs three new teachers and three new aides right now.
Declare God’s mighty works to all the Earth.
God doesn’t miraculously move you from Egypt, the world, sin, and a slave for you to keep it to yourself.
God doesn’t miraculously move you from Mt. Sinai, the wilderness, law, and a saint to keep it to yourself.
God brings you into Caanan, the Promise Land, grace, and a soldier for the whole world to know He is God.

Conclusion
Today, I have brought with me 3 memorials that I keep to the Lord.
My Silver dollar.
It was given to me by my first mentor.
I keep it as a memorial of how God invested in my life so I can invest in others.
My bullet.
I got this bullet the day a rescued a guy from committing suicide.
When I got to his house he was waving the gun around saying he wanted to die.
As I talked him down he gave me the gun and I emptied it immediately.
I keep this bullet to remind me that I put my life on the line for the gospel of Christ and am willing to die if necessary that others might live.
My Bible.
This is my first wide margin Bible.
The notes that are recorded in this Bible are not just my thoughts but times that God met with me and taught me personally his truths.
It reminds me that my God speaks to me directly and guides through his Word.
What are your memorials from the Lord?
If we want to see our world turn to Christ We Must:
Remember his mighty hand.
Train up the next generation lest they forget our God.
Declare the might works of God to all the Earth.
