35s
“So who is the wise builder? It's a it's a fair question. The wise builder is actually fairly quickly identified for us as the one who builds upon Jesus and his word. Notice that. It's not just one or the other. You know, I'm I I I follow Jesus. The follower of Jesus who follows him, who builds their life upon him and his word is the wise builder.”
35s
“Jesus in verse 24 as he's wrapping this whole thing up says, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be the wise man who builds his house on the rocks. And then you notice he says, when the rains come. He doesn't say if. Right? You're either just getting through a storm, in a storm, or there's a storm coming.”
37s
“And the fool is also quickly identified as the one who builds upon self reliance. Their own they're gonna build their own house their way. The thing is in the normal day to day, things seem pretty equal. The the one who declares, I don't need god, who's totally dependent on himself, may appear to be doing just as well as the one who's committed their way fully to God. On the surface of things, they may look the same.”
26s
“You see, they fail to see the importance of getting and staying plugged in to a church. You see, so what that means is God has given us his word. He's given us his spirit, and he's given us his church. To the person who says, I don't need the church is no different than the person who says, I don't need this or that. I've I've got this all on my own. That person is foolhardy according to God.”
