Sermons on Wilderness Wandering:

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

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 1, 2023

Cry Out Loud

Contributed by Donato Solano on Jan 18, 2006

God is always waiting for us to cry unto Him when we are in trouble. Crying out to Him is not a sign of weakness but of strength. It is a sign of strength of faith in the Lord.

It is different from what God in His word is saying to us. He ...read more
