Being in a Rocky Place

ORU Podcast - Max Barroso 260410 S3 Ep33   Being In A Rocky Place   Summary In this episode, Max Barroso from Buenos Aires, Argentina pastoring in Oklahoma City shares what to do when you find yourself in a rocky place. In Genesis, Jacob found himself in a hard and rocky place. He faced many struggles over the

course of his whole life. Shortcuts do not make the journey easier.  Quit beating the rock and rest upon the Rock. Jesus is the rock. Jesus is trying to get us to a place of infinite knowledge and or revelation. We can travel with God out of a rocky place into a perfect place. We can be busy for the kingdom without growing closer to our King. God is not just trying to get us to do something but to you to become someone who knows Him, loves Him, and then someone who can change the world. We rush to the highlight reel without an understanding of the hard work those highlights require. God leads us to the place where we can say, "How awesome is this place." He brings us out of the rocky place on purpose. Your environment does not define you.    Main Texts:  Genesis 23:10-18   Chapters: 00:16 Introduction 05:06 Being in a Rocky Place 10:28 Rest Upon the Rock 15:44 Out of the Rocky Place 20:29 Highlight Reel vs Hard Work 25:05 Your Environment does not define You 28:25 Conclusion
