It’s not just about information. God is actually calling us to do, to act on his teachings and on his words. That’s where the real power comes from for our lives.

Well hey, it’s Seth Fancy coming to you from King’s Church Halifax. It’s just a joy to be on RadicalStory.com. I hope you’ve been enjoying our series that we’ve been doing at our church called Good News.
Pastor Brent and myself have been teaching through this series and today we’re going to look at Jesus’ words and the authority in his words. His words carry weight to them, and they’re not just words. This isn’t just a road map. Jesus himself says that they are Good News.
When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” – Matthew 11:2-6
We’re going to look at Matthew 7 today. I hope you just dive into this. I know it’s a familiar passage, but I pray that you have fresh eyes and open ears, as you look at this text. Jesus says, that anyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” – Matthew 7:24-27
It’s not just about information. God is actually calling us to do, to act on his teachings and on his words. That’s where the real power comes from for our lives.
I hope this blesses you today. Enjoy it. God bless you. Continue to pursue him today.
