This document summarizes a sermon given at Arise Christian Church about the biblical parable of two houses, one built on a rock foundation and one without a foundation. The sermon discusses how both houses experience adversity but the one built on the rock survives because it is well built and able to withstand challenges, just as obeying Jesus' words enables believers to endure trials in life. Worshippers are challenged to not just be interested listeners but obedient disciples who act on what they hear from Jesus.

9. “… just as the nature of a house's foundation determines how well the house will hold up against the forces of nature, so also the extent of one's obedience to the words of Jesus determines how well one will hold up against the trials of life. ” - Gary Yamasaki ( Direction 33/2(2004))
