Luke 6:39-49

Pastor Rob covered a loaded section of scripture this morning, part of which I have spoken on before, and that is building your house (life) on a firm foundation (that is Jesus Christ). He taught about how we need to watch how we live because God cares about the quality of your life and he cares about the destiny of your life. The first point is to possess faith in God, making our desire going after God and not finding our satisfaction in the things of this world. Without this everything else is useless. The next part of the scripture is a warning about the blind leading the blind. That means we should be careful who we follow and be careful how we lead. Following anyone but Christ will lead us on a bad path and we are also called to be imitators of Christ so that those looking to us will see the character of Christ in our lives. It should be evident in our lives and leadership that we are seeking the Lord at all times. We also need to be about practicing love towards others. Our faith should be evident through our actions. As I've spoke on before our faith should show in the good we do for others and in how we treat each other. Our love for each other will have a huge impact on unbelievers. We must also practice honesty with ourselves, cleaning up our own lives before were start trying to help those around us fix their failures. God is also looking for obedience in his disciples. Our lives need to be built with Christ as our foundation. Anything else will come crashing to the ground and will not stand the test of time. In the end good things will flow forth from a person with a good heart and evil things from a person with a bad heart. The essence of who you are flows from your heart - so how is yours?
