What Is Your Foundation?
Matthew 7:24-29 HCSB
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and
acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house
on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew
and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because
its foundation was on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t
act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house
on the sand. The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew
and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse
was great! ”
When Jesus had finished this sermon, the crowds were
astonished at His teaching, because He was teaching them
like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.”
1. Is Jesus the Foundation for Your Life?
Where we spend our time
What we sacrifice
The priority we place on worship
Making decisions from Faith, first
God doesn’t blend
Matthew 22:34-40 HCSB
“When the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the
Sadducees, they came together. And one of them, an expert
in the law, asked a question to test Him: “Teacher, which
command in the law is the greatest? ”
[Jesus] said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is
the greatest and most important command. The second is
like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the
Prophets depend on these two commands.””
John 14:15 ESV
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
Amos 7:7-9 HCSB
“He showed me this: The Lord was standing there by a
vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand. The Lord asked
me, “What do you see, Amos? ” I replied, “A plumb line.”
Then the Lord said, “I am setting a plumb line among My
people Israel; I will no longer spare them: Isaac’s high
places will be deserted, and Israel’s sanctuaries will be in
ruins; I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a
sword.””
2. Is Jesus the Source of Your Peace?
Matthew 7:24-29 HCSB
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and
acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house
on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds
blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse,
because its foundation was on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t
act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on
the sand. The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and
pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse
was great! ”
When Jesus had finished this sermon, the crowds were
astonished at His teaching, because He was teaching them
like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.”
1 Corinthians 3:11-13 HCSB
“For no one can lay any other foundation than what has
been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ. If anyone
builds on that foundation with gold, silver, costly stones,
wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become obvious,
for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by
fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work.”
Psalms 18:2 HCSB
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my
God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the
horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
