The Blessing of a Solid Foundation: Introduction to Sermon on the Mount

We start at the end of the Sermon for an important lesson that Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount. The key to understanding much of what Jesus is teaching is found in the illustration of the man who hears and does what is commanded. He is like one who digs deep and builds his house on a rock.
Pastor Stoos clearly shows that the only contrast in this famous story is whether or not one does what they have heard Jesus command. Both men hear, both men build a house and both face the storms of life. One obeyed and the other did not and the result could not be more different.
Along with some general background on the Sermon on the Mount there is discussion of many applications that we see for individuals and churches in this teaching.
