Key Points

  • Jesus challenges us to apply His teachings.
  • The warning of imminent storms and coming judgment is motivation for reflection.
  • We know that good works will not save us, but they are a barometer of our spiritual health.
  • Foundations are costly. Jesus paid the price that allows Him to be our Rock. It costs us to follow Jesus and apply His teachings.
  • The passage from Luke comes on the heels of his sermon on the plain.
  • Foundation building includes fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. 
  • We are to take ahold on eternal life which leads to real life!
