Episode Synopsis

Matthew 7:24 (NIV) - “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." In life, we are all builders. Every decision we make, every value we hold, and every action we take adds to the structure of our lives. But what determines whether that structure will stand firm or crumble when storms come? Jesus provides the answer: the foundation matters most.The parable in Matthew 7:24-27 reminds us that storms—challenges, trials, and even judgment—will test what we build. The wise man builds on the rock, which represents hearing and obeying God’s Word. The foolish man builds on the sand, symbolising mere hearing without action. Both houses look the same until the storm reveals their true strength.In today’s world, many build on the “sand” of fleeting trends, opinions, or personal feelings. But only a life anchored in God’s unchanging truth can withstand the storms. Obedience to His Word isn’t always easy, but it transforms us from the inside out and gives us a secure foundation.Take a moment to reflect: Are you building on the solid rock of Christ, or on the shifting sands of culture? Let’s not merely listen to sermons or read the Bible without applying what we learn. True wisdom lies in obedience, which not only secures our lives but also bears witness to God’s faithfulness.To build your life on the rock, first, begin each day with prayer, asking God for the strength to obey His Word. Then, identify one area in your life where you need to act on what God has been teaching you.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word that guides and strengthens us. Help us to be doers of Your Word, building our lives on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. Teach us to trust and obey You in every circumstance, knowing that You are our firm foundation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
