Sermons on Faithfulness

Using the image of building a house on the foundation of Christ, the sermon asks what happens if Christians fail to finish the spiritual building by not following God’s instructions. It gives three consequences: we labor in vain (Psalm 127, Proverbs 24), the world mocks us (Luke 14, Matthew 5:16), and our house collapses (Matthew 7:24-27). The preacher stresses hearing and obeying Christ’s word, taking care how one builds (1 Corinthians 3), and showing the world something new after failure.
