Matthew 7:24–27
Main Point: When you build on the right foundation, you don’t have to fear the storm.
Matthew 7:24-27 NIV (New International Version)
“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. 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. 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. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Matthew 7:28 (AMPC)
“...the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching,”
"He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the rock" (Luke 6:48 NIV).
Isaiah 28:16 NLT
“...I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken.
