We're excited for another beautiful Sunday with you! Here are some important facts you'll need to know for Sunday:
Jesus now takes into how to build our lives and eternity correctly. Jesus gives us the great illustration of the two builders. One builds on rock and one on sand. In His magnificent illustration we see how to create a stable life. And we are talking having stability through the toughest seasons and storms of life…and ultimately building our lives on the Rock Jesus Christ which secures our eternity!!!! I hope I see you there!!!
Building My Life On The Right Foundation
1. Relationally: ______________ life is a result of right foundations
2. Stability: Right foundations allows me to be ______________ in shaky times
3. Eternally: I have the freedom to _________________
Let’s do what we do!!! Read the text: Matthew 7:24-29. Write down your thoughts and questions to share with your group. Take your time to glean out what you may
have never noticed in the text before. Have fun!
1. Let’s first write down as many contrasts between the two builders, or let’s call them the two foundations. Question: Why do you think a person would build on sand? I mean, they know it’s not the best to build on? I don’t think there are any wrong answers. Discuss with your group.
2. What is the fundamental difference between the two builders, and why is that important in our walk of faith? Explain
3. The proper foundations in life lead to an unshakeable foundation during storms. Let’s be honest. How do we handle life’s storms? Do we panic, or are we stable? Do we let our emotions get the best of us, or do we remain led by the Spirit? Explain
4. I shared on Sunday that the man who built on sand was foolish. God gives us the freedom to ruin our lives. Why would God ALLOW that? I mean, doesn’t He love us? Explain
5. Share a time, if any, when God allowed you to ruin your life, and what you learned?
6. Now let’s connect the dots to Jesus’ previous teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. How does Matthew 7:24-27 fit with Matthew 7:13-14? Explain please
