Red Letters - The True Foundation
from Trinity Community Church Hosted by Scott Wiens
As Red Letters concludes, Pastor Scott Wines sets Jesus’ wise and foolish builders beside a modern image from Hurricane Michael: a single house left standing because it was anchored far beyond code, on pilings driven deep into the sand. Scott shows that the difference in Matthew 7:24–27 isn’t the weather but the foundation. He lays three stones for a storm-ready life: Christ as cornerstone, Scripture and sound doctrine to keep us from being tossed by every wind, and an abiding relationship with the Triune God through prayer and the Spirit. Trials intend opposite ends—Satan schemes to destroy, but the Father uses suffering to produce endurance, character, and hope. Scott resists “upper story” relativism and calls us to the objective truth of God’s Word shaping everyday obedience. Because this is the final week of Red Letters, he gathers the series’ themes into Jesus’ closing charge: hear His words and do them. The life fastened to the Rock will stand when rains fall, floods rise, and winds beat against it. We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.
