Matthew 7:24-27
[24] “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. [25] And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. [26] And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. [27] And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

DEEP SHEET:  Sermon Study Questions
1.  Why have Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:13-27 been so hard and uncomfortable to hear? In the words of D.A. Carson, is Jesus trying to frighten people into the kingdom?
2.  What are the differences between the two houses portrayed in this passage?
3.  What does it mean to have Jesus as our Rock? (Isaiah 28:16; 1 Corinthians 3:11; Luke 6:46)
4.  What were the “sandy stopping points” noted in the sermon? In what ways do they contribute to self-deception? (Matthew 7:21-23, 28-29)
5.  How does the Parable of the Sower help us to answer the “Why” question?
6.  How can we apply the effect of the storm to life, death and future judgment? (Proverbs 10:25; 12:7; 14:11)
