Parables of Jesus - The Parable of the Builders
Let's have a DANCE PARTY with JESUS!
🕊️Parables of Jesus😃
What can we learn from Jesus?
Watch this video and let us find out about what we can learn from on Matthew 7: 24-29 and Luke 6: 46-49.
The one who hears God's word but does not do what it says is like a foolish builder who builds his house on sand. That house will be crushed in a storm. The one who hears the word of God and obeys it is like a wise man that builds his house on solid rock. That house will stand up to any storm.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.”
28 Jesus finished saying all these things. The crowds were amazed at his teaching. 29 That’s because he taught like one who had authority. He did not speak like their teachers of the law.
23 July: Memory Verse
So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.
