JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. In the Bible, the building of a house can often be referred to as your life or family. The most important part when building a house, or any building for that matter, is the foundation.
All of our lives are built on foundations which determine their direction. Jesus tells us in a parable that when we build our house on a foundation of our own choosing, it ends up crumbling when the bad times happen.
When we build our own foundation, instead of a foundation that is built on Christ and his teachings, we build it in vain. All the hard work we put in ends up crumbling down from one thing or another.
As we lay the foundation for our lives on Jesus, we allow him to do the heavy lifting. When we let God construct the foundation, He is the one who ends up building our house and the direction of our lives. We find our lives are no longer built in vain, but on a foundation that will never fail.
