Go to the Lord, Not to Man, Smky Mtn, 11/22

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of going directly to the Lord rather than relying on man, using the example of the Israelites complaining to Moses instead of God when they lacked water. The preacher highlights God's provision and faithfulness through biblical events such as the crossing of the Red Sea, manna, and water from the rock. He warns against the sin of 'smiting the rock' like Moses did, symbolizing disobedience and misplaced trust, and encourages believers to seek God earnestly, pray, and fulfill their responsibilities in the church with love and gratitude. The message calls for personal reflection, obedience, and reliance on God alone for guidance and provision.
