The Bible: Strong Foundation (Matthew

What happens when life puts pressure on your faith? Jesus says the difference isn’t the storm—it’s the foundation. In this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we explore what it means to build a life that actually lasts. Through a very real (and slightly humiliating) story involving a flimsy chair, we’re reminded that collapse is rarely caused by a single moment—it reveals what was already underneath. As we stand on the edge of a new year, this sermon invites us to slow down, dig deeper, and rethink our relationship with Scripture. Not as a spiritual eating contest. Not as fast food. But as nourishment that forms us from the inside out. You’ll hear why: • A life can look strong and still be fragile • Information isn’t the same as formation • Scripture is meant to be received, digested, and lived • Slowing the pace can actually deepen our faith This message also introduces our church-wide invitation to read through the New Testament together—not to check a box, but to sit with Jesus and let His words shape who we are becoming. If you’re longing for a steadier faith, a deeper walk with Christ, or a stronger foundation for the year ahead, this message is for you. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27 🏗️ Theme: Building a faith that lasts
