Wise and Foolish Builders
Jesus used everyday images to drive home his truths to people he spoke to-in Bible times and throughout the ages, including us! Everyone needs shelter, so everyone can relate to wanting a sturdy shelter that's able to withstand the forces of nature. A house built on a firm foundation won't wash away when the storms come.
Likewise, a life built on the firm foundation of faith in Jesus won't fall apart when life's crises arrive. When life is calm, foundations don't seem so important. But when trouble hits, only the rock-solid foundation of Jesus can help us survive the storm.
Luke 6:46-49
John 14:15
• When is a time you disobeyed your parents? What were the consequences?
• When is a time you disobeyed Jesus? What happened?
• How do you feel inside when you disobey?
• When and where are you most likely to disobey? Why?
• When Jesus talked about floods hitting the houses, what do you think he meant by "floods"?
• Why do you think it's important to do what Jesus says?
