Foundations | Zac Bush | October 2, 2022 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed, and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6:46-49 1. is saying yes to God Promptings. (v. 46) 2. A to Christ can lead to a collapse. (v. 47-49) 3. Jesus calls us to to Him, to from Him, and to what He asks.Foundations | Zac Bush | October 2, 2022 BIBLE READING PLAN Reading the Bible every day is a great way to grow in your faith. After you read, take time to journal or reflect on these questions: What does it say? What does it mean? How can I live this out today? On our website, under Publications, you can find online resources for reading through the Bible in one year: westwoodcc.org/publications • Have you ever experienced a home improvement or DIY project go horribly wrong? What led up to the “collapse”? Were there any steps you could take to avoid it? • What type of “collapses” could we experience throughout life? (Could be financial, relational, spiritual, etc.) What might be some warning signs that may come before a collapse? Read Luke 6:46-49 Have someone summarize this parable in their own words. • What are your observations from this parable? Why do you think Jesus told this story to his followers? • Do you identify more with the builder who builds his house on the rock, or the builder who builds his house on the sand? Why? Has there been a time in your life when you’ve felt more identified with one builder more than the other? • What are some ways we can begin (or continue) to establish our life on the solid foundation of Christ? • What habits are you cultivating that might lead to the erosion of your foundation of faith? What corrective measures need to be embraced in your life to reverse the erosion? • Do you find it easy to hear Jesus’ words and obey? Why or why not? Pastor Zac taught that we’re all on the spectrum of obedience to Christ: come to him, hear from him, and put his words into practice. Where would you put yourself on this spectrum? How can you take the next step towards obedience in your life?Next >
