8-15-10: Lesson 2 - Build your life on Jesus

Sermon Theme: Build your life on Jesus

Bible Verse: There is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 3:11

Bible Story: Matthew 7:24-27

Build your life on Jesus by:
1) By knowing his word
2) Trusting Him
3) Doing what the word tells you to do

We need to build our foundation on Jesus Christ. We need to know his word, trust him, obey him because it is the best way for us to live. In the book of Matthew, Jesus was teaching the crowds about God, His Kingdom and how they
should live. He told them how to build their lives on a solid foundation. Jesus said, “Anyone who hears my words and obeys them is like a wise carpenter who built his house on the rock.” Life got hard for the wise man. Rain poured down,
the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. Jesus went on to say, “Anyone who hears my words but does not obey them is like a foolish carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards. The man who built his life on the solid foundation had to do two things. He had to hear God’s words and he also had to obey God’s word. You do not build your life on Jesus by hearing His Word and ignoring it. You build your life on Jesus by hearing His Word and obeying it.
