    On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand: MATTHEW 7:24-29

    Sean’s newest book has just been released: Understanding Christianity: Biblical Answers to Life’s Most Important Questions You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC7WTLQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title   Dr. Sean Cole concludes the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:42-29 You’re either a genuine Christian who proves your salvation not only by a profession of faith, but because your heart has been changed by grace alone. Or you merely “say” you’re a Christian, but there has been no internal change by the Holy Spirit. It’s a profession of faith without possession of faith. There is no middle ground. In this conclusion, you’re either a wise builder or a foolish builder. Since Jesus ends the sermon with these sharp contrasts between the two builders and their houses, this sermon explores this passage in FIVE areas of contrast. What does it look like to build wisely upon the rock, and then look at the opposite of what it looks like to build foolishly upon the sand.   Sean has published four other books: Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk   You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1   https://shop.g3min.org/products/compassionate-calvinism-defending-the-doctrines-of-grace-without-being-a-jerk 30 Days of Praying the Scriptures https://bit.ly/49XaYQN 40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:   https://g3min.org/shop/books/g3press/40-days-in-philippians-finding-joy-in-jesus-sean-cole/   Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223   VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net   FOLLOW on:   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321   FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmanuelbaptistchurch-ster4705   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X: https://x.com/sdcole
