Foundational Priority

While they frame and prepare to pour the foundation for our new Children’s Building, I’ve been thinking about foundation of our lives, relationships and families. Our culture offers all kinds of options when it comes to the way we build our lives and what we build them on.

However, Jesus made it clear that obeying His teaching is the only way to build a foundation that will last.

“‘But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid 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.”
When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this. It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.” (Matthew 5:26-29 MSG)
