The Wise and Foolish Builders
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.” Matthew 7:24-27
"Jesus was a carpenter by trade. He knew what it took to build a house. Jesus is the son of God and he is giving us this passage and telling us that the foundation is important: in our lives, in our family, in our careers, in our society and in our nation. The key is the foundation in everything. What are you building on?" Pastor Matt
