Theme: “Jesus Christ:The Rock of our Life” Matthew 7:24-27

Matthew 7:24-27 “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

1. The foundation rock for our life is 1. The foundation rock for our life is Jesus Christ – the Gospel of grace

2. We can build on rock even if we are surrounded by sand (trials & troubles)

2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Romans 5:20-21 “…… But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Prayer to Become a Christian (Home Page:www.thechurchontherock777.org.au) “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I ask Your forgiveness.

I want to serve God by following You as my Lord and Saviour. Amen.”

(Benediction) Psalm 90:17 May the favour of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us — yes, establish the work of our hands.
