Recently the Lord gave this message for a Church Anniversary I was invited to just recently.  I shared the message a little with a few of my close friends and they were encouraged by it so I keep praying and building on the Word.  Jesus said "that upon this Rock" I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  Then the story of David killing the giant Goliath with one of five smooth stones are the basis for the thought.  Jesus, being tempted of the devil to change rocks to bread, replied man shall live by every "Word" that proceeds from the mouth of God.  So Jesus is the Word become flesh, and Jesus is the Rock that is higher than I when my life is overwhelmed; please lead me to this Rock...In Exodus, God tells Moses to speak to the Rock, but in frustration with people, Moses hits the Rock and he gets water for the people, but he forfeits ticket to the Promised Land for disobedience.  After studying a lot of scripture, I will conclude like Jesus said, " whoever listens to His words would be likened to a wise man or woman, who built their house on the "Rock" and the rains fell and floods raged and beat against that house:  but the house stood the storm because it was founded/anchored on the Rock.  In short, You can't Loose, with the Rock I use and the Church can't loose with the Jesus we use....RY
