Built on a rock
This document tells a story using pictures and text to teach children about building one's life on solid foundations like Jesus' teachings, rather than on shifting sands. It discusses a real example of a home destroyed by a sinkhole after being deemed safe. The story contrasts two houses, one built on rock that remains standing when floodwaters come, while the other on sand is washed away. It relates this to Jesus' teaching about the importance of not just hearing his words but doing them, so that one's life is firmly grounded like a house built upon the rock.
Are you wise or foolish
This passage from Matthew contrasts those who hear Jesus' words and follow them ("wise man") with those who don't ("foolish man"). The wise man builds his house on a solid rock foundation, so it withstands storms and hard times. But the foolish man builds on sand, so his house is destroyed when troubles come. It urges people to decide if they will be wise by having strong faith in Jesus, or foolish by not believing and facing destruction later.
Location matters
Choosing a home site takes a lot of careful thought and planning. How much thought and care do we put into choosing where to lay our spiritual foundation? This lesson brought to by Wayne Cornwell to the church at Highland Heights on February 14 explores why Jesus told us that it matters if you build your faith on sand or rock.
God's Judgement For The Christian
- Jesus finishes teaching from the Sermon on the Mount by addressing how Christians should prepare for God's judgement. He explains that merely claiming to follow God but not obeying His will is insufficient, and on judgement day God will reject those who knew His words but did not act on them.
- Jesus compares Christians to builders, one who builds his house on a solid rock foundation by both hearing and obeying God's words, and one who builds on sand by only hearing but not acting on God's words. When troubles come, only the house built on the rock remains standing.
- True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's word, not just words or works. Christians must hear God's words and do them
Ready For Any Calamity
Are you ready for any calamity? The best way to prepare yourself for any situation in the future is to prepare your foundation today.

Alternative: How to Build a Rock Solid Life
This document provides guidance on building a solid life foundation through following Jesus' teachings and enduring life's storms. It advises that 1) we all experience troubles but can have peace through Jesus, 2) to build wisely on the rock of Jesus' words rather than the sand of foolishness, and 3) to fix our eyes on eternal things rather than temporary problems. Building a solid life involves hearing Jesus' words, putting them into practice through obedience, and enduring storms with the foundation of faith in God.
Nothing to fear
Jesus teaches that those who listen to and follow his teachings are wise, like building a house on solid rock that can withstand storms. In contrast, those who do not obey his teachings are foolish, like building on sand where the house will collapse in storms. Jesus taught with authority unlike religious teachers of his time, and his message called people to action while assuring them of triumph over difficulties through their trust in him.
