The Wise & Foolish Builder: Jesus as Lord leads to doing God’s Word

Luke 6:46-49 | “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

• What does “Lord” mean?

• Why isn’t it okay to call Jesus “Lord” while disobeying what He teaches?

• How can ‘Jesus as Lord’ show in a person’s actions?
