In this sermon Build a Memorial, Memorial Day is a public legal holiday in the United States of America and among its armed forces worldwide. It is for the purpose of remembering those who died in the defense of our country. It is a holiday for us to simply remember the price that was paid for our freedom. All throughout the Bible God has ordained that there would be memorials. He has instituted the practice of building and having memorials in our life. It is beneficial for us to remember the things that Jesus has done in each of our lives. In a Biblical sense a memorial is a sacrifice. A monument or an event that brings us into remembrance of something that God has done. The word memorial in scripture comes from a word that means to prick, to pierce, or to penetrate the memory. The Bible says that the memory of the righteous is a blessing and it says of the wicked that his memory perishes from the earth. To many times we forget the things that God has done for us in the past so we have no faith for the future.
