But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.

Luke 12:20a

As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.

Luke 6:47-49

1.) Jesus is not surprised that we will

in our life.

…In this world you will have trouble…

John 16:33

2.) The storm

the in our foundation.

The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.

Luke 6:49

3.) We damage our foundation by trusting in:

A.) Health

And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”

Luke 12:19

B.) Wealth

This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.

Luke 12:21

4.) We strengthen our foundation when we trust Jesus and seek his kingdom.

But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Luke 12:31
