An expository message highlighting several great and important lessons to be learned from the Israelites' two encounters with the Rock at Meribah, from whence Moses drew water for the people. As Paul says, "that Rock was Christ". . .

The Lord Jesus said to the Samaritan woman at the well, "Ye worship ye know not what" -- which is a fitting description of the "praise and worship" found in typical American churches today, which are filled with professing Christians that redefine God in the own terms, that care far more about a spiritual "experience" than they do truth, and that think they can worship God the way

First, we look at the inability of a person to mix faith and works for his justification. Secondly, we look at how Lev. 18:4-5 confirms the inability of a person to have spiritual life, and be justified, by

In this brief midweek lesson, as Bro. Jade continues in his series of lessons through Isaiah 61:1-3, we look at a phrase in Luke 4:18, in which our Lord adds to His quote of Isaiah 61, "recovering of sight to the blind."
