God is my rock


Who do you worship?


Who is your rock?


That ought to be the same person because the one we worship should bring things in to our lives that only the one with great authority can bring.  


Strength.  Peace.  Guidance.  Learning.  Stability.  Insight.  Self-control.  Grace.  Purpose.  


That is just a few.  They are real, or at least they are some of the things that the one I worship brings in to my life.  Maybe you have found that to be true as well.


With the message I shared Sunday at The Community Fellowship I looked at the word rock in the Bible.  There are several different meanings.  Everything from what is used to stone a person to something that is strong to a person that is revered.


Here are some verses that stick out in my mind.



1 Samuel 2:2  NASB

There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.


Matthew 21:42  NASB

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘A stone which the builders rejected, This has become the chief cornerstone; This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?


Psalm 18:2  NASB

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.


Psalm 62:6-7  NASB
He alone is my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken. My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.


Jesus alone is the real rock.  God is the rock that can be trusted and is stronger than anyone or anything else.  He can be leaned on and held on to all the time.  


Know God and hold on to Him as you rock.  Let go of any other rocks.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
