What kind of life are you building? Jesus invites us to build on the solid foundation of His words—but the structure of that life is shaped by prayer. In this message, we explore how prayer was the secret behind Jesus’ authority, power, and purpose—and how we’re called to the same rhythm.

We’ll look at the Shema (Deuteronomy 6), the prayer that shaped a people, and discover how aligning our hearts, souls, and strength in prayer forms us into resilient disciples.

As we conclude our Sermon on the Mount series, Jesus leaves us with a striking image—two houses, two foundations, one storm. In Matthew 7:24-29, He makes it clear: it’s not just about hearing His words, but putting them into practice. Like deeply rooted trees that withstand the fiercest winds, our lives can remain steady when anchored in Him. This message is an invitation to examine what your life is built on. Is it the shifting sand of self-reliance, or the solid rock of Christ and His Kingdom? Jesus isn’t after performance—He’s after transformation. Let’s be the kind of people who live His way, not just hear it.

In this teaching, we sat with one of Jesus’ most sobering teachings from Matthew 7. As He brings the Sermon on the Mount toward its conclusion, Jesus exposes the false paths that take us where we want to go, the false voices that tell us what we want to hear, and the false fruit that impresses but lacks substance. His words are a call to examine the real foundation of our lives and what we’re truly rooted in.

As a community becoming resilient disciples, we’re learning to follow Jesus not just in belief, but in practice. In Christ, we are being built together into a dwelling for His Spirit—a people rooted in love, formed by truth, and strengthened by grace.
