2 Houses are being builtAnd, a storm is coming

House that Fell • Heard the Lord • Did nothing • Built a house without foundation • Rains descended • Floods came • Winds blew and beat on it • House collapsed • Ruin of that house was great

House that stood • Coming to Jesus • Acknowledging Jesus authority - Lord • Hearing His words • Having the opportunity to apply Divine wisdom to your own situation • Doing exactly what He says • You can rightly call Him Lord

TRUE SUBMISSION • Recognizing authority -Matthew 8:5-10 • Obedience • Willingness – going a step beyond obedience • Determine what pleases God • You are to be submissive

Did Jesus want an answer? • Is it not rather a statement, that you should not call Him ‘Lord’ if He does not have ‘Lordship’ over you? • Calling Jesus ‘Lord’ and ‘Master’ with unwillingness to submit to Him is unreasonable. • The proof of ‘Lordship’ is in obedience. • Romans 6:16
