My sermon notes for Sunday morning, June 4th. Remember, these are my personal study notes and not a manuscript of the sermon. They are provided as an outline each week for our Tabernacle Church family. The church provides a live stream of the service each Sunday at 10:30 on Facebook. We also provide the services through YouTube by Sunday afternoon. You can find Sermon Notes, Family Devotional Guides, Prayer List, and other resources at our Church Website.

The True Disciple – vv. 47-48
Come to Him, Hears His Words, and Does them
- Hear, Believe, Trust, Obey
- I believe it talks all 4. Because, if you truly believe who Jesus is then you will naturally follow Him.
- Coming and Hearings is not the most important… but going and doing.
HE IS LIKE
- Building a house
- Dug deep onto the foundation
- Dedication, Discipline, Devotion
The man Jesus described in his parable “dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock” (Luke 6:48). Building his house cost him something. Living the Christian life costs us something too. It takes discipline to work at understanding the Scriptures. It takes patience to persevere in prayer. It takes courage to put sinful desires to death. It takes dedication to grow in new areas of obedience. It takes sacrifice to serve others instead of ourselves. Above all, it takes faith to trust in Jesus Christ and not hold anything back.

When floods come
- The storms of life come
- Our faith stands strong
The False Disciple – v. 49
Hears and does not
- A life unchanged
- A life that is no different than the world
- A moral life is not necessarily a converted life
Doing what they want to do
- Based on thier experience, rather that God’s Word
- Feelings over truth
- As long as if fits their agenda
- Jesus on THEIR TERMS.
- No commitment to the things of the Lord
Built on no foundation
- Quick. Easy. Convenient
They fall immediately when the storms come
- No faith. No foundation. No hope
