Where Are You Building?
Series: 2023

Where are you building, that is the question that came to my mind this week.

For all of us we need to know what we are building on

 

As I child I remember singing the song about the wise man and the foolish man

Most of us would understand the folly of building a house upon the sand, but, when we are talking about our faith, it changes

Just like building on sand would be cheaper and faster, so is shallow faith

Deep faith takes time and much effort, just like building on solid rock

It isn’t only the difference in the investment

It really is about the difference in the choice of foundation

We would probably all confess that Jesus is our foundation

But, is He really?

Often times, even for Christians, our faith and trust is in other people first and only Jesus as a last resort

Jesus is the chief cornerstone and because of that the best one to place our trust

Let’s look closely at this passage again

Vs 24

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.(NASB)

Hear the Word

Act

Wise

Vs 25

"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.(NASB)

In every life some rain will fall

On the solid foundation, even through the rain you can stand

Vs 26

"Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.(NASB)

Hear the Word

Ignore

Foolish

Vs 27

"The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."(NASB)

Great was the fall

We all have a choice of what we build our life on

It isn’t just a nice picture or a few empty words

Houses that are still standing after a hurricane are examined and replicated

Not only will you building on the firm foundation make you wise, it can influence others as well

Where are you building today?
