| Psalms 61:1-8
Psalms 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
In the time of a flood, you need a rock that is higher than yourself.
In the time of a fight, you need a rock that is higher than yourself.
Do you have a rock?
Do you have THE Rock?
I. THE ROCK OF AGES CAN SHELTER YOU

wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the
shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

II. THE ROCK OF AGES CAN SUPPORT YOU
Luke 6:47-48 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings,
and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which
built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the
flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it:
for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was
