Foundations

Matthew 7:24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

and does them = "practices them", "acts on them", "follows them", "obeys them".

Matthew 7:24 I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock

“house” = your entire life.

The wise person builds the entirety of their life on the bedrock of Jesus' teachings.

John 16:33 In this world, you will have trouble. But take Heart I have overcome the world.

Overcome - a victory rooted in the past that continuously effects the present and the future.

Matthew 7:26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

God’s word waits on human action so that we're walking by faith not just talking by faith

Mark 7:13 You make void the word of God for your tradition

2 Timothy 4:3 The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Mark 4:35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”

Mark 4:38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Mark 4:39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? Now look at this, Jesus says: How is it that you have no faith?”

Mark 4:35 He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”

Rain = Loss Or Disappointment

Flood = The World

Wind = The Devil, Demonic Forces
