Rev. David Van Bebber, Pastor:
 
Our worship services were opened by Brother David this morning with prayer and reading of the Word from the book of Luke Ch. 6:46-49.   

Build on the Rock

46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.[a] 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell.[b] And the ruin of that house was great.”

This is one of a collection of six parables that are considered by Biblical Scholars to be a “Parable of Wisdom”.  Discipleship that is sound and enduring is the issue addressed here. Build your house upon solid ground or upon the sand and the rains come and destroy it. In life we must choose to lay a strong foundation on solid ground.  One house will stand and the other one will fall. Mans materials are worthless, but securing them to a foundation in Christ is what makes the difference.
 

The Youth Group along with their teachers sang a very special song this morning it is called  “Grace Like Rain”.  We look forward to hearing more special songs from them.
