JESUS, MY FIRM FOUNDATION
HOOK
GAME: WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING ON?
Prepare two small tables,
one soft pillow, some building blocks or Uno Stacko.
Divide kids into 2 groups.
One group gets to build on a table; the other has to build on the soft pillow,
placed on the table.
Each group has to build the
tallest building out of the blocks/Uno Stacko pieces on the table/pillow in 3
minutes.
At the end of 3 minutes,
gently shake the two tables. Or get kids to try to blow the other team’s tower
down (no contact allowed!).
See which one stands firm
and which falls down (hopefully the one on the pillow falls first lah ;-))
LESSON: PARABLES OF THE WISE & FOOLISH BUILDER
(Matt 7:24-27)
Matthew
7:24-27 24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows
it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes
in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it
won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching
and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27
When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will
collapse with a mighty crash.”
Jesus liked to use a lot of stories when He taught the
people. These stories are called “parables”.
Jesus told the people a parable about two men. These
two men were building a house.
One built his house on the rock — he dug deep to make
sure he had a solid foundation. The other decided to build his house on the
sand. Both houses looked nice when completed.
But one day, a heavy rain came. The wind blew, the
flood rose. The house on the rock got wet, but it stood firm. However, the
house on the sand fell flat and was destroyed.
How many of you saw the news
and pictures of earthquakes and tsunamis?
This reminds us that in such
storms, many things are easily destroyed.
Our hope and faith cannot be on them.
When we build our house on
sand, we’re building on our own abilities, our intelligence, our achievements,
our money ... we think that we are good enough for God. But when the storms
come, we realise that whatever we have built cannot stand.
But when we build our house
on the rock, we are building on the sure foundation — Jesus. Jesus calls us to “come
to Him and hear His words and put them into practice.”
Only Jesus is good enough for God. Only He can make us good enough for
God.
And when we believe and trust in Him, we can stand firm till the end.
Do we want to build our life
on ourselves or on Jesus?
Pray: Thank you Jesus that You are
our sure foundation. You have done a perfect work on the cross, and all we can do is to
trust in You and not be shaken. Thank you for keeping us safe in the storm. In Your
name we pray, Amen.
ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
HUDDLE TIME
Get
kids in smaller groups. Get them to share what it means to really trust Jesus
and build their lives on Him. Assure kids that when they trust on Jesus, they
will not be shaken. Encourage those who have yet to accept Jesus to do so.

The wise man built his house upon the rock
or
This Wise Man
sung
to “This old man”
http://bibleschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2010/10/wise-and-foolish-builders.html)
This wise man, he built well
he built well up on a rock
When the rains came down
And the floods came up
This man's house stood firm and strong!
Foolish man, he built wrong
he built wrong up on the sand
When the rains came down
And the Floods came up
This man's house came tumbling down!
