The Good Life 9 – Two Foundations

The Good Life 9 – Two Foundations.

Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 7, verses 24 to 29.

A challenge, a warning and an invitation.

A Challenge

²⁴ So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. ²⁵ The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25

A Warning

²⁶ But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. ²⁷ The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash

Matthew 7:26-27

And an Invitation

²⁸ Come to me, all you who are tired and are carrying heavy loads. I will give you rest. ²⁹ Become my servants and learn from me. I am gentle and free of pride. You will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ Serving me is easy, and my load is light.

^{Matthew 11:28-30}
