Reading: Romans 4:16-25. We are being led to see the relationship of faith to three things. Firstly, faith in relationship to enlargement.

Reading: 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.
