The unshakeable foundation * Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (NIV) * Description of paradise * Luke 23:43 “Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” (NIV) * Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (NIV) * Luke 12:20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’” (NIV) 2. The responsibility of building a house * Meaning of “the Day” (1 Corinthians 3:13) * 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (NIV) * 2 John 8 “Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.” (NIV) * Matthew 6:3-4 “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (NIV) * “A Life God Rewards” Thoughts to share at mini church: 1. What should we do to help our beloved family and friends lay an unshakeable foundation? 2. What do you think it means for you to build using gold, silver, and costly stones? MCC20260322.mp3
