Reading the Owner's Manual: Part 4 - True Foundations
from Houston's First Baptist Church · host Gregg Matte
Jesus concludes His Sermon on the Mount with a powerful illustration about two foundations - rock and sand - representing how we build our lives. A firm foundation requires both salvation through relationship with Christ and wisdom through applying God's Word. When storms inevitably come, those built on rock stand firm while those on sand collapse. True faith isn't about religious activities but genuine relationship with Jesus. We can't avoid life's storms, but we can choose our foundation, submitting to Christ's authority in every area of our lives.
