Matthew 7:24 - 7:29

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg delves into the deeper and weighty aspects of the house-on-a-rock versus the house-on-sand dichotomy that many are familiar with from Matthew 7. He discusses the importance of laying a strong foundation in one's life by living according to the teachings of Jesus and not wasting time seeking personal pleasure and glory. Gregg emphasizes that the time to build a strong foundation is now, before the storms of life come. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to live wisely and build their metaphorical houses on a strong foundation of obedience to Jesus' teachings.
