Where you build your house… matters. The type of foundation you build your house on … matters. Is it sand, or is it on solid ground? Because one thing is certain… the storms of the sea will blow in, and your foundation will be exposed.

And the results… they could not be more divergent. One house remains standing, while the other one goes crashing into the sea.

Jesus made the same analogy when it came to building your life. We have the same options… and we face the same consequences.

He makes use of a storyline called a parable to communicate an amazing, yet unsettling truth.
