Study 6: Matthew 7:15-27: Trent Evans

How deep are your roots?      This message explores Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24–27, revealing that it is not a standalone teaching but the conclusion of His warning about false prophets and false disciples. The sermon emphasizes that hearing God’s Word is not enough - true discipleship is demonstrated through obedience. Both builders hear the same truth and face the same storms, yet their outcomes differ because of their foundation. A life built on Christ through surrendered obedience stands firm, while a life built on mere profession without practice collapses. Jesus calls His followers to examine not just what they say, but how they live, urging them to build lives rooted in His authority and truth.
