The Wise Person

Last Sunday we spoke about having lives built on the solid foundation of God's truth. Jesus talked about this in Matthew 7:24-27. Take time to read that. We had a crazy time with a couple of clowns acting out this story.

Jesus said, "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

It's important to not only HEAR God's Word, but also put it into practice.

People can have coaches tell them what to do in sports...but they also need to put it into action.
Musicians can have lessons on their instruments...but they also have to practice what they've heard.
Christians can listen to pastors, parents and teachers...but it doesn't count unless actions accompany the learning.

Are there things God has told you to do that you need to do?

There is a time to listen, and there is also a time to then get up and DO it!

For a fun time, you may take turns leading "Simon Sez." One person gives directions, and others do the actions. It's important to listen to the right person giving good directions in this game. Even more important, we need to listen to God's directions and DO what he says. That way, you may be a winner in the game of life!
