Where is your foundation?

In this message, we looked at Jesus’ final words in the Sermon on the Mount, where He shares the illustration of two builders. One builder builds his house on a solid foundation—the rock—while the other builds on a weak foundation—the sand.

Aaron used the picture of ancient Israel’s dry riverbeds to help illustrate what Jesus was describing. When the ground looked firm on the surface but had no real foundation underneath, it would collapse when the storms came. Jesus teaches that He is the solid rock—the only foundation strong enough for us to build our lives on.

He ended with an illustration using ping pong balls in a jar, asking the question: What are we building our lives upon? Our lives can easily be filled with hollow things that don’t truly satisfy. But when we allow the Spirit of God—like living water—to fill us, He brings the fullness and foundation our lives truly need.
