On The Rocks - Pastor Josh We believe that GOOD PARENTING = GOOD CHILDREN (not true Adam/Eve) Book of Proverbs - A book on how life should work, not a promise.

Pastor Josh “ON THE ROCKS” The principle of first - whenever we put God first I our life, there’s order, when we don’t, there’s chaos. Your spouse is designed to be your #2, God is your #1.

wrote a note on Joshua 1:1-9 ESV
READ THE BOOK Two layers of calling: 1) Career: the call to use your vocation for the glory of call. 2) Commission: the call to use your gifts to make disciples. God has given us gifts to disciple others to come to Christ. When you discover your calling, you will feel fear. If not, you are thinking too small. Most common command in the Bible: DO NOT FEAR. Joshua was told “Be STRONG AND COURAGEOUS” 7 times. Faith activates the POWER OF GOD. Fear will prevent it. Who I am: a child of God. Light of the world. Gods chosen instrument. What I have: The same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. … Expand
