  2. Strong Foundation - Luke 6:46-49 46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.[h] 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell.[i] And the ruin of that house was great.” 46 "Mengapakamuberserukepada-Ku: Tuhan, Tuhan, padahalkamutidakmelakukanapa yang Akukatakan? 47 Setiaporang yang datangkepada-Ku danmendengarkanperkataan-Ku sertamelakukannya--Akuakanmenyatakankepadamudengansiapaiadapatdisamakan-- 48 iasamadenganseorang yang mendirikanrumah: Orangitumenggalidalam-dalamdanmeletakkandasarnyadiatasbatu. Ketikadatang air bah danbanjirmelandarumahitu, rumahitutidakdapatdigoyahkan, karenarumahitukokohdibangun. 49 Akantetapibarangsiapamendengarperkataan-Ku, tetapitidakmelakukannya, iasamadenganseorang yang mendirikanrumahdiatastanahtanpadasar. Ketikabanjirmelandanya, rumahitusegerarubuhdanhebatlahkerusakannya."

  3. 908 years old • Europe’s oldest church • In 1905, serious signs of structural weakness • Original builders laid tree trunks flat on the soft watery soil • The foundation was rebuilt and restored – 5.5 years Winchester Cathedral

  4. 200 years to complete • 185 feet, famous for its 18 foot lean • In 1990, was about to collapse • The foundation was restored – 3 years • June 6, 2001, the tower position was returned to the position it was in 1838 Tower of Pisa

  5. The importance of Foundation • Whether it is a home, a cathedral, a tower or a LIFE, the foundation one has is crucially important • Dasar/fondasisebuahrumah, gereja, bangunantinggiataudasar/fondasi KEHIDUPAN sangatlahpenting

  6. The Foundation reveals: 1. The nature of my faith. 2. The strength of my commitment. 3. The level of my maturity. 4. The healthiness of my attitude. 5. The measure of my teachability.

  7. What foundation will you lay down or have you laid down? • Foundation of self-achievements and abilities? • Wealth? • Fame? • Career? • “Good times?” • Prestasidankepintaran? • Kekayaan? • Namabaik/ketenaran? • Karir? • “Good times?” The parable of Jesus that we heard invites us to examine the foundation we have chosen to build our lives upon

  8. “Why do you call me Lord, but do not obey me?” • You call me Lord, you call me master, and yet you will not do the things I tell you? • People like being called Christian as long as it does not inconvenience them • Issue: Obedience

  9. Example of a man building a house • House – Greek: Oikia or oikos, translated as House of God, Christian Life, Dwelling Place or Spiritual Body(RumahTuhan, KehidupanKekristenan, KehidupanPribadi) • “Dug down deep” and laid the foundation on rock , then we will have a strong foundation

  10. To dig down deep is to get beyond surface-level Christianity • Not just church attendance, but service in and to the church • Not just reading the bible, but discovering it’s truth • Not lip service, but TRUE obedience to Chris as Lord • MelayanidirumahTuhan • Bukanhanyamembaca, tetapimencarikebenarannya • Bukanhanyadimulut, tetapimenggenapiataumentaatikehendaknya

  11. V:48 “Like a man... who laid the foundation on the rock.” • The word rock used here is from the Greek word PETRA. • Jesus in 1 Cor. 10:4 “and the rock was Christ.” • Peter in Matt.16:18 “you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church(note: who will build the church? Christ) • Rom. 9:23 “See I lay a stone in Zion, that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And the one who puts his trust in HIM will never be put to shame.

  12. V:48 “Like a man... who laid the foundation on the rock.” • JESUS = The ROCK and the solid foundation upon which we should build • Yesus = Batukarangdansatusatunyadasar/fondasidimanakitabangunkehidupankita

  13. V:48b “When a flood came, the torrent struck that house, but could not shake it because it was well built.” • With no foundation in a marriage, we have divorce. • With no foundation in our relationship to Christ, we have backsliding • With no foundation in our church, we lack faith and vision • With no foundation under a house, we have a mess!

  14. In verse 49 he shows us what happens when we claim to know him, but do not have that deep and solid foundation.“But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” • In contrast is the person who listens but doesn’t obey.Two houses. May have looked the same on the outside!The difference is in the foundation.Without a solid foundation, when hard times come, when things don’t go right, when we face struggles at home, on the job, at school...we will not have the strength to endure!

  15. Isaiah 33:6He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!1 Corinthians 3:11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. Karenatidakadaseorangpun yang dapatmeletakkandasar lain daripadadasar yang telahdiletakkan, yaituYesusKristus.

  16. Built to last • We need to reevaluate our beliefs and level of obedience to God’s commands so that we are not deceived by the devil. He wants us to think that everything is fine.Each of us know in our heart of hearts if everything is really fine. • Without a solid foundation, when hard times come, when things don’t go right, when we face struggles at home, on the job, in marriage, at school...we will not have the strength to endure!

  17. Built to last • Jesus = Ourfoundation • Being a good listener is not enough, be a DOER!Janganhanyamenjadipendengar, tetapi PELAKU firmanTuhan • Obedience - Ketaatan • “By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:10-11).

  18. The Foundation reveals: 1. The nature of my faith. 2. The strength of my commitment. 3. The level of my maturity. 4. The healthiness of my attitude. 5. The measure of my teachability.
