Matthew 7:24-29

  • 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.
    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.
    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.
    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."
    28 When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;
    29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.



SERMON NOTES - Built Upon the Rock

INTRODUCTION
  • Who we are as Christians, and who we are becoming, demands a transformation from the inside out which is only accomplished through the power of God's indwelling Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus' closing illustration was the Sermon on the Mount's final call to discipleship and was designed to make the listener feel the weight of obedience.

RECOGNIZE YOU ARE A HOUSE BUILDER
  • You are building a house, and that house is your life.

BUILD WISELY, NOT FOOLISHLY
  • The issue is not if we are building, but how are we building? The only difference in the story is whether we are building wisely or foolishly and that depends on the foundation upon which we build.
  • Jesus described a man who built a house on sand. What is a foundation of sand? If you build your life on anything else than the Word of God then you are building on sand.
  • Are you obeying the Word of God? Is it richly dwelling within you? Is it a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path? Is God's Word the authority in your life? If it is, then you are building on the rock.

EXPECT SOME STORMS
  • There are two builders, two houses, and two foundations, but what determines the outcome is a storm.

CONCLUSION
  • Jesus confronts us with a choice of how we will build our lives. We are all building them on something and the difference between collapse and endurance is not knowledge, not intentions, not emotion, but obedience-the deep pilings of a life built not only on the Word of God, but on the God of the Word.
