The Rock Foundation Proverbs 24:3

 When I was 4 years old my family moved into a 100 year old farmhouse in the country. It had a basement made out of stone. It was dark and damp and I hated going down there. That foundation kept that house standing until last year when I heard the old farmhouse had been torn down. That old farmhouse had a firm foundation, a foundation built to last.

Proverbs 24:3

A house is built by wisdom 

and becomes strong through good sense.

Psalm 118:22 22The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.

Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.”

Isaiah 26:4 4Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD God is the eternal Rock.

And 1 Corinthians 3:11 tells us  11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.

The people that built that farmhouse over 150 years ago to build it strong to last. If we want a faith that lasts, we need a firm foundation too. 

Jesus is our Cornerstone.

Jesus is our Rock.

Jesus is our Eternal Rock.

Jesus is our Foundation. 

What have you built your house on?
