Rock Of Refuge Ministries

Birth of Jesus Christ – Part 1: Chaotic Night Christmas carols paint a picture of a peaceful night, but the birth of Jesus was filled with chaos. Behind the beauty of “Silent Night” was a world under harsh Roman rule, a difficult journey, rejection, and unexpected circumstances. Jesus did not enter a peaceful environment—He entered a broken one. Caesar Augustus issued a decree for a world-wide cen...

Vision 2026: United in Christ Vision is vital for the life of a church. It gives direction, clarity, unity, and purpose. Proverbs 29:18 teaches that without vision people perish; but with vision, a church moves together toward God’s intention. Vision aligns us to common understanding, common values, and common goals. Rhema Rock of Refuge Ministries began by faith on 28 January 2024 in the house of...

FAITH THAT BELIEVES GOD WHEN IT’S OVER Faith grows strongest at the point where human strength ends. When we declare, “It’s over,” God often says, “Now I can begin.” The disciples prayed, “Lord, increase our faith,” and Jesus taught that even mustard-seed faith can uproot what looks immovable. God specializes in stepping in when we reach a dead end. As long as we still have options, our faith is n...

THE FAITH THAT NEVER GIVES UP 📖  Luke 18:1–8 Jesus begins this parable with a powerful truth:  “Men always ought to pray and not lose heart.” This sets the tone for what kind of faith God is looking for — a faith that persists, endures, and refuses to quit even when nothing seems to change. The story of the widow and the unjust judge teaches us that  faith must be consistent.  The widow had no st...

📖John 14:8-11 “Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but...

Increase My Faith – Part 5: Thoughts Factory! (Think Yourself to the World of Possibilities) 📖  Luke 17:5–6; Romans 1:17 Our thoughts are the womb where faith is conceived and manufactured. Every word, belief, and decision begins in the mind—the factory of our faith. What fills your thoughts will frame your world. If your mind is filled with fear, your life will reflect fear; but if filled with G...

📖 Luke 17:5–6 (NKJV) Introduction: The Condition of Our Heart Matters 📖 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV) Faith operates from the heart, not the head. A heart that is consumed by fear, doubt, and negativity cannot produce faith that moves mountains. The condition of your heart determines the expression of your faith . The World Conditions Us to Think Negatively 📖 Romans 12:2 (NKJV) We live in a generat...

(Obedience to God’s Word) 📖 Luke 17:5–6 (NKJV) “And the apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’ So the Lord said, ‘If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, “Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.’” Introduction – Is Experience Really the Best Teacher? We’ve often heard the phrase: “Experience is the best teacher.” And t...

(Finale – Inheritance Is More Than Land— It’s Legacy ) 📖 Joshua 13:1–2 (NKJV) Introduction: Will It Ever End? God looked Joshua straight in the face and said: “You’re old.” That’s not an insult—it’s reality. Joshua’s time was running out. His time was almost over, but the mission was not yet complete. This reminds us: we are not here forever . Because of that, we must think carefully about the le...

Introduction – Who’s Next? Not Me! Israel was on a winning streak. Jericho? Gone. Ai? Gone. Word spread like wildfire. Nations were shaking. The kings said, “Who’s next?” The Gibeonites said, “Not me!” But they didn’t say it with swords. They said it with surrender. Sometimes the smartest move you’ll ever make is not to fight harder but to bow lower. 1. The Wisdom of Surrender The Gibeonites could...

(Don’t worry I’ve got this) 📖 Text: Joshua 6:18-19 (NLT) ““Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel. Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.”” 📖 Joshua 7:1-5 NLT Introduction: Complacency kills Joshua went with on...

Blessed Is She Who Believes What Is Your Response? Luke 1:26–50 Introduction  When the angel appeared to Mary, she was alarmed and frightened—just like any of us would be. Yet her response was not fear but faith. Luke 1:38 – “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” Mary chose to believe God’s word over her feelings. She declared her identity in God: “I am the Lor...

Intro Today’s word comes from Luke 1:45 : “Blessed is she who believes, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” To believe something you have never seen, and to hold onto it even when you don’t fully understand it — that takes courage. And that’s what I want to speak about today: Resilient Faith. What is Resilient Faith? Resilient faith is the kind of fa...

📖 Joshua 5:1 (NKJV) “So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.” 1. Introdu...

📖 Joshua 3:1–17 (NLT) Introduction: “Arrived” — But Not Yet Finished Joshua 3:1 NLT Israel had been through an incredible journey to reach the Jordan: 400 years of slavery in Egypt. God delivered them with mighty acts — 10 plagues and the Red Sea miracle. He fed them when they were hungry. He sweetened the bitter water of Marah and led them to Elim with 12 flowing springs. He provided water from...

Access to the Promised Future Part 2: What God’s Promise Looks Like 📖 Joshua 1:1–9 (NKJV) Introduction People often make promises they don’t keep—sometimes due to circumstances, fear, lack of discipline, or shifting priorities.
