Opening Prayer John Ahn

I Will Run to You

Your eye is on the sparrow and Your hand it comforts me From the ends of the earth to the depth of my heart Let Your mercy and grace be seen You call me to Your purpose as angels understand For Your glory may You draw all men As Your love and grace demands

And I will run to You, to Your words of truth Not by might, not by power but by the Spirit of God Yes, I will run the race, till I see Your face Oh, let me live in the glory of Your grace

Hallelujah (Your Love is Amazing)

Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me When I am surrounded, Your love carries me

Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing

Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising All the joy that’s growing deep inside of me Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through And I can feel this God song, rising up in me

hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah to the lamb hallelujah hallelujah by the blood of christ we stand

every tongue, every tribe every people, every land giving glory, giving honor giving praise unto the lamb of God

Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude of those from every tribe and tongue we are your people redeemed by your blood rescued from death by your love

There are no words good enough to thank you There are no words to express my praise But I will life up my voice And sing from my heart With all of my strength

My Chains are gone

Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found Was blind but now I see

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I've been set free my God my Savior has ransomed me and like a flood His mercy rains Unending love Amazing Grace

The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine

Scripture Matthew 7: 24-27

The Wise and Foolish Builders 24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Sermon

Building on a Solid Foundation Text : Matthew 7: 24-27

The Importance of Foundation Illustration of a building: The Seers' Towers It is like a high school drop- out who wants to become a board certified Neurologist!!!

Every Aspect of Your Life Education Profession/Career Marriage Relationships/Friendships Spiritual Life

Five Things About Your Life That You have No Choice About Where you were born (Nativity) The conditions/Circumstances under which you were born (Ideal or Otherwise) Who your parents would be? Ethnicity/ Status) What your gender would be (Male or Female) W When you were born (time in history)

But you have a Choice about how you live your life!!! However, your choice has a consequence! Whatever you do with the word of God will determine what you do with your life.

From Our Text... Two Types of People The wise.... The foolish... What are the differences?

The Wise Builders Make Jesus the Foundation of their life: 1....Guided by His word The word of God is like a mirror, light, compass, etc..Listen and Obey His voice and not the other voices 2....Desire to please him and no other person.

The Foolish Builders Do not care about God’s word Are controlled by the other voices Men, Media, Satan, Self Do not care about the outcome of their lives

The Outcome Rain Fell Floods came W Wind blew One house stood undamaged! The other house Crashed!

Application We are all digging foundation for our future Watch what you do with the word of God --The law of sowing and reaping is real! Every choice has a consequence! You can start a new life/foundation today! Accept Jesus and make Him the foundation of your life.
