Conclusion
Matthew 7:24–27 ESV
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

What’s more important, hearing or doing?

Nature or Nurture - Renee walking
Hearing or Doing
Then Hearing
Today Doing - murder
What does Jesus say, “Whoever hears and does them”

Hearing & Doing!

Hearing and doing vs Hearing and not doing
Wise vs foolish
House not collapsing vs house collapsing

Responsibility

Homes were a huge investment.
You only get one chance.
Judgment/Storm will come, but… being built on Jesus, you will survive

Jesus Is the Rock

We are not built on anything but Jesus

Not Culture
Not Identity
Not Security
Not Emotions
Nothing but Jesus and his teachings
He’s never let me down.
He is faithful in every season & to every Generation
He is eternal, everlasting, all powerful

Conclusion

On June 17, 1998, 81-year-old Robert Kupferschmid rode with his friend Wesley Sickle. Wesley was 52 years old and an experienced pilot. They were flying from Indianapolis to Muncie, Indiana. They were flying the Cessna 172 single-engine plan.
When suddenly, Robert noticed the play began to nose-dive. He got on the radio and begin pleading for help. Nearby were two pilots who heard the call. Mount Comfort was the closest airport, and the two pilots gave Robert a steady stream of instructions on climbing, steering—and the scariest part—landing. The two experienced pilots circled the runway three times before this somewhat frantic and totally inexperienced pilot was ready to attempt the landing.
Emergency vehicles were called out and ready for what seemed like an approaching disaster. Witnesses said the plane's nose nudged the center line and bounced a few times before the tail hit the ground. The Cessna ended up in a patch of soggy grass next to the runway. Amazingly, Robert was not injured.
This pilot listened and followed those instructions as if his life depended on it—and it did. Imagine what would take place in the lives of believers if we listened to and obeyed the Word of God with the same earnestness.
