Bible Study Curriculum: Luke 6: 46-49

Get off to a Good Start

Jesus was a carpenter so it’s natural
that he told a story about two builders

One builder built a house on the rock and the other on the sand by the sea.

Rock is so hard for digging – it takes all day! (no jack hammers in Jesus day)
The builder kept chipping at the rock slowly all day.

The other builder liked the sandy position.
Lovely to look at and soft on under your feet.
Soft to dig in too. His house was finished quickly

The house was just finished when the storm hit. Wow !! Disaster!!
The sand under it washed away and the house collapsed. Finished!

The house on the rock was steady and safe.
Jesus said, ‘Build your life like that– strong
and safe on the good base of God’s word.’
