Princeton Theological Seminary

Seminary Chapel | Opening Communion, Fall 2022 Scripture: Joshua 4:1-7 Homily: “Remembering to Move Ahead” God told Joshua to create a monument of twelve stones taken from the Jordon River crossing to give the people a memory of God’s faithfulness. But the people had just entered the Promised Land, and all of the challenges of moving into it still lay ahead. At the beginning of a new academic year we remember this is not the beginning of God’s faithfulness. We cannot find the courage to take on the challenges of today or tomorrow without sacred memories of the holy grace that has brought us this far.
