The First Sunday – Family service

The wise man and the foolish man

Matthew 7:24-29

Speaker: Simon Downing

Today is our monthly family service where we hope to see lots of young people and families joining us. In today’s talk Simon will be reminding us that “wise” people build their life on the rock of Jesus. There is no firmer foundation. To build on the rock means to be a hearing, responding disciple, not a superficial one who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. The story of the wise man and the foolish man is a Sunday school favourite but it also contains an important message for all of us. Most people do not intentionally build on a false foundation, instead they just don’t think about their life’s purpose. Part of our responsibility as believers is to help others stop and think about where their lives are heading and to highlight the consequences of ignoring Jesus’ words.
