Firm Foundation

Series: Storms

Summary

There are many times our lives can feel like a sandcastle. We spend time worrying about the wrong wave coming at the wrong time and potentially wiping out our sandcastle. But Jesus tells us if we build our foundation on the Rock, we can wave-proof our life! Jesus further tells us how to build our foundation on the Rock – by hearing the words of Jesus and doing them. A byproduct of truly hearing the words of Jesus is action. The wise man is a doer, and the foolish man is only a hearer. Jesus warns us to not be like the foolish man, building his house on the sand. If our foundation is anything other than in Jesus, it is sand, and we are susceptible to every storm of life. The storms of life cause us to lean into Jesus even more. Every testimony we share is a testimony of a weathered storm. Jesus offers us a house built so securely on the Rock that no matter what waves, winds, or storms come our way, we’re secure.
