Preamble: As we continue to go through this month, instead of harping on what the world is trying to turn this into, I'm going to continue speaking faith, hope, and love. Today's post continues the theme of sharing the love of God through Jesus Christ and what He promises to all those who surrender control of their lives to Him and follow Him as Lord and Savior.

Offertory scripture:

Sermon message:
Thesis: God is our protection
Part 2 of 3 of sermon series “speak faith”
Focus: Psalm 91
God is your protection.
God is my protection.
God is our protection.
Moses wrote Psalm 91 (and Psalm 90)
He wrote these psalms during a season of unexpected times. Not unlike today which is also a season of unexpected times.
Moses made mistakes. Tried to do things on his own strength, and paid the price for it.
He learned that we should listen to God.
Before we react and/or act, we should listen to God.
Matthew 11:15
We should act on what God says; when He says it, do it.
Moses did act on what God told him to do. Because of it 3 million Hebrews were saved from Egypt.
Build your house on rock vs on sand. Jesus talked about this.
What you speak is important. Moses found this out as well. Words can encourage or tear down.
Consider the case when Moses, Joshua, Caleb, and 10 others brought back a report of the promised land before it was theirs. The other 10 discouraged the rest and therefore they didn’t go over.
Mark 11:23
Psalm 138:2
Psalm 91:1-2
God doesn’t run out of power. He is Almighty. He is Most High. He is eternal.
