Matthew 7:24
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock:


I. THE BUILDERS.

1. They were alike

(1)  in their need of a house.

(2)  In their privileges. Both heard the same words of Jesus.

(3)  In their efforts; both built.

2. They were unlike

(1)  in their character.

(2)  In their choice.

(3)  In faith and love. One heard and did not. "If a man love Me, he will keep My words."

II. THE FOUNDATIONS. The one sure, the other insecure.

III. THE SUPERSTRUCTURE.

IV. The TRIAL.

V. The RESULTS.
