Building a Great Life on Great Foundations

I am handing over to the Master Builder now.... check out what Jesus says:

24 "These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock.
25 Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.
26 "But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach.
27 When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards."
Matthew 7:24-27 (MSG)

Also shows the importance of life application of teaching!

And the role of incarnational teachers and leaders (ie teachers who live the message):

Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say....
Matthew 7:16 (MSG)
