because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal Reference- Isaiah 26:3-4 remains true and steadfast today: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal." The Command: Trust - You've beautifully captured the heart of our walk with God—whether He says stay, move, wait, or build, our singular response must be trust. This isn't passive resignation but active reliance on the One who holds all things. The Foundation: His Character. Our trust isn't grounded in circumstances but in who He is: Our Everlasting Rock—unchanging, unmovable Our Fortress and Shield—our protection and defense Omniscient and Omnipotent—all-knowing, all-powerful Faithful in covenant—"I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) Working all things for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28) Enduring in mercy—"His love endures forever" (Psalm 136:1) Th...

Purging is God's Way... . Reference- Deuteronomy 2:14-15  This is a powerful and sobering text that reveals a profound truth about God's nature and His governance of history and hows God "tracking the past to prepare the future. 1. The Past Act Being Tracked: Rebellion and Unbelief - The "past thing" God is tracking is the rebellion of the Israelites at Kadesh Barnea, recorded in Numbers 13-14. After hearing the fearful report of the spies, the people refused to trust God and enter the Promised Land. Their past act was a fundamental breach of the covenant of faith.   • God's Sworn Oath: In response to this rebellion, God made a solemn declaration (an oath): "Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun... For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you." (Numbe...

The Tabernacle’s Timeless Testimony: Hammered Gold and Desert Wood Reference: Exodus 39:43 states: "And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.. The Tabernacle was built exactly as God commanded through a perfect chain of faithfulness: God revealed, Moses relayed, God empowered skilled hands, and those hands worked in obedient precision.  Two key components embody God’s everlasting plan— the Menorah , a lampstand of pure gold inside the Holy Place, and the Acacia Wood , the incorruptible framework of the courtyard.

A Tool in God's hand.  Reference:  2 Kg 8 : 7-13- Ben- Hadad , king of Aram, was sick at the time. He was told, “The Holy Man is in town.” The king ordered Hazael , “Take a gift with you and go meet the Holy Man. Ask God through him, ‘Am I going to recover from this sickness?’” Hazael went and met with Elisha. He brought with him every choice thing he could think of from Damascus —forty camel-loads of items! When he arrived he stood before Elisha and said, “Your son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, sent me here to ask you, ‘Am I going to recover from this sickness?’” Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘Don’t worry; you’ll live.’ The fact is, though—God showed me—that he’s doomed to die.” Elisha then stared hard at Hazael, reading his heart. Hazael felt exposed and dropped his eyes. Then the Holy Man wept. Hazael said, “Why does my master weep?” “Because,” said Elisha, “I know what you’re going to do to the children of Israel: burn down their forts, murder their youth, smash their bab...

FROM THE DEPTHS TO THE UNSEARCHABLE HEIGHTS Based on the Revelations of Job 5:20-26, 9:1-13, 11:7-12, and 12:13-25 Heavenly Father, Ancient of Days, Lord of the Whirlwind and the Whisper, We come before You today with a heart full of awe and a mouth full of praise, not based on our fleeting circumstances, but on the unshakable, terrifying, and beautiful truths of who You are—truths You unveiled to Your servant Job.

 09Jan2026-  From Contention to Covenant Reference Gen 26- Few verses  The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land I tell you to. Stay here for a while, and I will be with you and bless you.” So Isaac remained in Gerar. After he had been there a long time, Abimelek told him, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.” Isaac then left, settled in the Valley of Gerar, and made his home there. He dugged wells (Esek, Sitnah) but contention and opposition came with Philistine. He moved on again, dug another well, and this time no one argued over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us space, and we will flourish in the land.” From there, he went up to Beersheba. That same day, Isaac’s servants came with news about a well they had dug: “We’ve found water!” He named it Shibah, and to this day the town has been called Beersheba. My head is spinning—he moved so many times and went through so much—wow. This pass...

Subject: He Has Given Us Room! A Report from Our First 2026 Intercessory Prayer   Dear BCC Family, Hallelujah! A resounding praise to the Lord this morning! Eighteen prayer-filled souls gathered for our very first Intercessory Prayer of 2026. Despite the morning's weather and road challenges, nothing stopped us from stepping into God's promises for this new year. It was a powerful declaration that when we seek Him, He meets us.  We began by anchoring our time on the foundational promise God gave to Isaac in Genesis 26:24: "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham." A couple of powerful truths from this verse set the triumphant tone for our session: Fear not, I will bless you, I will increase for the sake of Abraham... From this foundation, the Holy Spirit wove a rich tapestry of scripture through the believers present: From Isaiah 51 ...

Promises preceded practices. Reference: Gen 26 Isaac had a very less face time in the Bible in comparison to the other Patriarchs. However we see a profound and strong guidance from his life, which is fuelling and giving us a strong foundation of our Faith journey.  Yes, Isaac faced famine, endured strange name-calling, and dealt with contention, criticism, confinement, accusations, strife, quarrels, disputes, and hatred. He had to make tough decisions, choose his battles wisely, and navigate the challenges posed by the Sadducees and Pharisees of his time. But our faithful God briefed him the blue print in Gen 26. God told Isaac to stay in a certain place for a while, and he obeyed. He reopened the wells his father Abraham had dug, which the Philistines had blocked after Abraham’s death, and restored their original names. At Esek (Contention), he chose not to fight over disputed blessings, even though he was strong enough to defend them. At Sitnah (Hatred), he moved on and adjusted...
