The sermon centers on the urgent call for every believer to build their life upon the unshakeable foundation of Jesus Christ, using materials that endure—love, joy, peace, and righteousness—rather than fleeting, destructive elements like bitterness, lust, or selfish ambition. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, it emphasizes that while all believers will be saved, their works will be tested by fire at the judgment seat of Christ, determining whether they will receive rewards or suffer loss, not of salvation, but of eternal recognition and honor. The preacher underscores that the motivation behind every action—whether giving, speaking, or serving—must be rooted in Christ's name, the desire to honor Him, or the love for fellow believers, as even small acts done in faith endure. Through vivid illustrations from Scripture, including Stephen's martyrdom and the parable of the talents, the message calls for intentional, daily discipleship, urging individuals and families to create a life of purpose, joy, and holiness, with a vision to make the coming year a season of spiritual investment and divine reward. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, inviting a personal commitment to build with eternal value, not for human approval, but for the glory of God.
