The Narrow Road // Week 12: Wise & Foolish Builders // Pastor Blaine Keene

Listening to AND obeying Jesus's teachings is the strong foundation for our lives.   Reflection Questions: How am I working the words of Jesus into my everyday living? What words of Jesus am I hearing, but not obeying? Am I building my life on the rock or on the sand? Am I on the broad road that leads to destruction, or the narrow road that leads to life? “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.” - Matthew 7:24-27 MSG
