Mountain view

What is the foundation in which your life is built on?

Today Jesus wants you to choose.

The worlds way or his..

Matthew 7:24-29 (ESV)

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.”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Jesus way

Hear His plans

Matthew 7:24a

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine

Heart condition

Adultery, lust

Murder, hate

Love above the status quo

1 John 3:17-18 (ESV)

17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but indeed and in truth.

Do not Judge ..

Enemy

Those who hate you

Those who stand for everything you don’t.

1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)

11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Follow His plans

Matthew 7:24b

puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Built = eekodomell strengthen/build Peter on you

House= our bodies

The rock= petra Romans 9:33  (ESV)

33 as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Paul writes to the Romans not works faith…

Practice…

Obedience is a response to a loving relationship

Obedience is not just doing what God says but responding to the love of God.

Luke 9:62  (ESV)

62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Obedience will be work

Luke 6:47-48 ESV

47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.

Pray

Read Gods word

Love all people

Live for God

1 Peter 2:4-5  (ESV)

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Get Ready for the Storms

Matthew 7:25a (ESV)

25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house;

Storms will come

Storms

Physical

Emotional

Financial

Spiritual

Building on the rock doesn’t stop the storms

Matthew 7:25b

yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Storms show were our wisdom comes from.

James 1:2-4  (ESV)

2 Count it all joy, my brothers,[a] when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Storms show us that we can depend on God

Jesus..peace be still

Mark 4:40  (ESV)

40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”

2 Corinthians 2:14 English Standard Version (ESV)

14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

Don’t Follow his plans

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.” foolish= moros …moron..stupid

Sand

Comparisons

Both houses are the same

Built in the same place

Experienced the same storms

Argue that both had the same directions

Only one trusted Jesus for the foundation

Only one survived the storm of sin…

Matthew 16:24-26b

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Authority.

Matthew 7:28-29 (ESV)

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Other prophets say..the Lord says…

Jesus said, I tell you the truth John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me.

Gospel

Communion..

1 Corinthians 11:27 ESV

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.

Here again

As I walk now through the valley

Let Your love rise above every fear

Like the sun shaping the shadow

In my weakness Your glory appears
