Water From The Rock

Moses lost the chance to enter into the promised land because he was disobedient to God. That disobedience was caused by anger, pride, and lack of faith.

Water from the Rock After Moses had led the people out of Egypt, he had sent twelve spies into the promised land to see what lay before them.

Standing In The Storm

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

Jesus teaches that storms are inevitable, but collapse is not; lives anchored in obedience to Christ stand firm when pressure reveals the foundation beneath them.

Others come suddenly—without courtesy, without explanation, without asking whether this is a ...read more

READ 1 John 4:7-21 "God is love" ought to fill our hearts with warmth and hope. But we need to understand this rightly. "God is love" does not mean, that "love is God." It has accurately been said that "love does not define God, but God defines love." Love in modern society bears no resemblance ...read more
