We had a total of 27 in class tonight, so we had a full house. We had a great supper before hand, and that always brings out a crowd, because our ladies can cook! You might have noticed that we didn't have a post for Sunday. That is because we cancelled the services due to the snow and my computer was down. Thanks to Jimmy McGhee for bringing it back to life! We studied in Matthew chapter 7 verses 24-27 and discussed building on the sand or the rock. In our lives we choose how we build our lives. Many build there life upon things that change and can let them down. This is building on the sand. Others choose to build on that which is unchanging, eternal, and never undependable. This is building on the Rock. Jesus is the Rock, and when we live the way He wants, our lives are able to stand up to the storms of life. If we build our life on the things of this world, then the storms of life can bring our lives down in a great fall.
This pertains to both getting saved(hence building on the Rock) and once we are saved building our lives in accordance to God's will(also building on the Rock). If you want a joy and peace that will last even through the worst storms, then you should build on the Rock of my salvation, Jesus Christ.
We are carrying the crew to Winter Jam Sunday, so keep us in your prayers. Also please keep the Whitaker family in your prayers as they deal the loss of Mrs. Dorothy. She is at home with the Lord now and back with her husband. Until next time, keep the faith and praise His name-brother jason
Matthew 7: 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
