Read Matthew 7:24-27
Have you ever built something or cooked food and realized after it was completed that the materials used were very low in quality or you forgot a key ingredient? How did that turn out?
What do the wise and foolish builders have in common, and what distinguished the two builders from each other?
The rain, streams and wind eroded the foundation of the foolish man's house causing it to crash down. In your life, what would represent a foundation made of sand?
What does it look like to build your house on the rock (a solid foundation)?
Why do people "hear" Jesus' words of encouragement to build their lives on Him, and yet choose to build their lives on "sand"?
Have you ever endured a "storm" in life that you can share with the group? How did you endure it, and what was the end result?
What needs to change for you to be more like the wise man and less like the foolish man?
What have you currently been doing to lay solid bricks (prepare) for "storms" that will come in your future?
Explain why Christ is the only foundation that will never fail and always last.
What commitments are you willing to make to be more like the wise man who built his life on Christ?
