Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been speaking at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Tenth Picture - Joshua Joshua 3:14-17 Joshua was a warrior and he led Israel into many battles. Such is the life of the believer. (Read Rom 6:6-23.) The crossing of the Jordan is a picture of our crossing of the river of death and entering the heavenly Canaan. But it is also a picture of us passing from death unto life at the new birth and the battles that ensue as we war against sin in this world.
