Two Builders

Jesus taught about our response to His words by comparing two types of builders, one who builds his house on the rock and the other the sand. Pastor Adam Barnett explores this parable and encourages us to remember what is required for planting our foundation on the rock.

Matthew 5:1-2 (NIV)

Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them…

Matthew 7:24 (NIV)

Therefore everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Matthew 7:21-23 (NIV)

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.

Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)

Therefore everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 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.

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. 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.

If you hear the gospel and profess faith in Christ, you will express your faith through obedience and action
