Firm Foundation
June 20, 2026 • C.L. "Shep" Shepherd • Matthew 7:24–27
A powerful and heart-touching message based on Matthew 7:24–27 explores the difference between merely hearing God's Word and faithfully living it. Through the moving story of a widowed mother who built her small home on solid ground despite hardship and criticism, this sermon illustrates how a strong foundation can withstand life's fiercest storms.
Being a Christian sometimes needs you to be ready to be uncommon, uncomfortable, and be prepared for the unpredictable.
As winds of grief, disappointment, sickness, and uncertainty inevitably come, many discover that appearances alone cannot hold a life together. Jesus teaches that true security is found not in circumstances, success, or human strength, but in obedience to His words. Like the wise builder who dug deep and built upon the rock, believers who anchor their lives in Christ remain standing when trials arrive.
