About this listen
We would like to ask you all:
- What is your life built on? If you could think of your life in terms of having a foundation what would that foundation be? Picture it. Name it.
- What happens when storms come—social, financial, emotional, relational, spiritual, or legal?
- Will your life stand or collapse built on your named foundation? Where and to whom do you turn when you are in a violent emotional storm?
Jesus speaks directly to this in Matthew 7:24–29:
(24) “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
(25) The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
(26) But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
(27) The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
(28) When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, (29) because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.” This is God’s word
