Follow Me!

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 23, 2017

Where should I live? Whom should I marry? How can I find out God's will in the matter? You can't. His will in those matters is hidden from us. However when we seek his revealed will, we can make decisions about our lives in faith rather than fear.

The Cleft Of The Rock

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017

The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more
