Words From The Word

Is Obedience the Rock Your Life Stands On—or Are You Building on Sand?


Listen Later

When the storms hit, will your life stand firm or collapse? In Episode 2 of our devotional series, Pastor Roderick Webster digs deeper into Jesus’ Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27) to show why obedience—not opinion—is the solid rock of genuine faith.


🔹 In this episode you’ll discover:

Why hearing the Word isn’t proof of salvation—doing it is.

The hidden cost of following Jesus (Luke 9:57-62) and why excuses don’t cut it.

The stark contrast between a life built on God’s truth vs. one built on self-satisfaction.

Practical steps to move from “I believe” to “I obey.”
