Pilgrim Baptist Church: Rev. Massey's
sermon title, Sunday, September %, was,
Built on a Rock" The message was
taken from Matthew 7:21-27, about the
house that was built on a solid rock which
nothing could destroy it.
Also in the message, Rev. Massey quoted
the words of the Bible which said, He
who hears and obey the words of our
Master is far better off than he who
also hears the words of our Master but
just admires them without obeying them"
In the sermon he stated that a man does
not necessarily have to be of powerful
physical physique nor does he have to
be mental genius to build his house on
solid rock that will not perish from
storms, floods, or winds if it is placed
right God is stating these things so
that man will build his whole body and
soul upon a rock that cannot be shaken
ny evil dIOunu
house that is not built upon a solid
rock is subject to moral calamity and
lack of faith. In the absence of faith
the person will show signs of spiritual
collapse and this will ruin the entire soul
1t was also made clear in the message
that we only lift ourselves by listening
to the words of our Master and doing
the things that are fit in his eyesight.
