Building on the Rock

In a world of shifting sands and unpredictable storms, where do you place your trust? It is easy to admire the architecture of a godly life, but the true test of a building isn’t its outward appearance—it is the foundation hidden beneath the surface.

This Sunday, we dive into the closing words of the Sermon on the Mount to explore what it truly means to be a "wise man" who builds his house upon the rock. We will examine the vital distinction between those who merely hear the Word and those who possess the courage to do it.

Key Themes We Will Explore:

The Hearing vs. The Doing: According to James 1:22, being a "hearer only" is a form of self-deception. We will discuss how to move from passive listening to active obedience.

The Proof of Love: Jesus tells us in John 14:15, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." We’ll discover how our obedience isn't a burden of the law, but a natural fruit of our relationship with Christ.

Weathering the Storm: Matthew 7:24–27 reminds us that the rain descends and the floods come for the wise and the foolish alike. The difference in survival is not the absence of trouble, but the stability of the foundation.

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." — Matthew 7:24 (KJV)

Join us as we learn how to secure our lives, our families, and our futures against the rising tides of life by anchoring ourselves in the unchanging Word of God.
