Build Your House On The Rock (Matthew 7:24-27 - Sermon on the Mount Series)

Build Your House On The Rock (Matthew 7:24-27 - Sermon on the Mount Series)

Author: Marci Ferrell: Christian Homemaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother September 12, 2023 Duration: 29:36
In Matthew 7:24-27, we find a contrast between the wise man who builds his house on the rock and the foolish man who builds his house on the sand. The foundation on which we build our lives is critical when the storms of life come. The wise man hears and practices the words of Jesus, building his house on the Rock, which is immovable. In contrast, the foolish man hears but does not practice the words of Jesus, building his house on sand, which is unstable, and in the end, he will fall. Matthew 7:24-27: 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

Hosted by Marci Ferrell, who draws from her own journey as a wife, mother, and grandmother, this podcast is less about presenting perfect methods and more about sharing grace-filled perspectives. You'll hear discussions rooted in scripture, exploring how biblical truth directly shapes the challenges and joys found in managing a home, nurturing relationships, and personal spiritual growth. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with a friend who understands that this calling is both deeply ordinary and profoundly sacred. The aim is to move beyond surface-level tips to consider how our faith informs everything from daily routines to heart attitudes, fostering a sense of shared purpose and resilience. This is for any woman seeking authentic, gospel-driven encouragement, reminding us that our work within the walls of our homes is meaningful and seen. Tune in for a podcast that consistently points back to the foundation of thankfulness and trust in God's guidance for every aspect of life.
