14 Exodus 17:1-16 - Christ, Our Rock And Banner

Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon Pastor Kevin walks thru Exodus 17. Here we see God's people test him. Once again, God is patient with his grumbling people, not only by miraculously providing them with water from a rock, but giving his very presence (v.6) and by giving them victory over their enemies. The Apostle Paul later makes an astonishing claim about this story. We are told in 1 Corinthians 10:4 that “the Rock was Christ.” For those who questioned, “Is the LORD among us or not?” the answer was clear that he was—­Christ himself was present to sustain, save, bless, and be judged.
