2. Phil. 4:13
13 I can do everything through him
who gives me strength.
3. Matthew 7:24-27
24 Anyone who hears and obeys these
teachings of mine is like a wise
person who built a house on solid
rock.
25 Rain poured down, rivers flooded,
and winds beat against that house.
But it did not fall, because it was
built on solid rock.
4. Matthew 7:24-27
26 Anyone who hears my teachings
and doesn't obey them is like a

sand.
27 The rain poured down, the rivers
flooded, and the winds blew and beat
against that house. Finally, it fell
with a crash.
