SUMMARY: The sermon is titled "Tough on Tension" and is based on the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River in Joshua 3:14-4:7. The speaker shares a personal story about facing a difficult exam in law school and receiving a poor grade. He emphasizes the importance of standing firm in the face of tension and being tenacious. Parents are encouraged to play a priestly role in their families and carry the ark of the covenant, guiding their children and holding the Presence of God in the center. Graduates are also honored for their achievements, with recognition for the support and contributions of their families. The second principle is to pull the tension, represented by the Israelites taking twelve stones from the dry riverbed as a reminder of God's faithfulness.

The sermon discusses the story of Joshua and the Israelites crossing the Jordan River, and how it relates to the importance of being tenacious in tension. The sermon highlights three principles: standing firm in tension, pulling some of the tension for your benefit, and setting reminders to remember victories and commitments. The sermon also honors fathers and encourages graduates to remember their achievements and potential. The congregation is invited to come forward to receive a memorial stone to remember their victories. The sermon ends with a prayer for the graduates and parents.
