THIS IS THE MOMENT OF GOD | DR. MARK RUTLAND

In this stirring message from Joshua 3 and 5, Dr. Mark Rutland challenges believers to recognize when they’re standing on holy ground — the moment where God is ready to move. Drawing from Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River, he urges the Church to sanctify itself, step into the unknown by faith, and follow the movement of the Holy Spirit without hesitation. This sermon powerfully reminds us that God is still a miracle-working God, calling us to obedience, surrender, and expectant faith so we don't miss the moment when He chooses to act.
