Going Deeper

Going Deeper is a simple way for the whole family to keep growing all week long. Each week, we provide age-specific questions and resources for Adults, eKids, and eYouth to help continue the conversation beyond Sunday. Whether you’re reflecting on the message, talking through faith at home, or helping your kids and students apply what they’ve learned, Going Deeper is designed to help every age take their next step with Jesus.

Stories Week 5

“Parable of the Foundations" Matthew 7:24-27

Bottom Line: Jesus reminds us that our lives are to have a strong foundation in God.

  • Have you ever found yourself in a situation in which you adopted a belief or a stance that the world around you accepted, but then their opinion changed and you were criticized for not keeping up with the change? A fashion trend, a lifestyle, a slang term? How did it make you feel? Remind yourself that God's teachings are true and they don't change. When you build your life and beliefs on His word, you can have peace knowing that you don't have to change your belief system based on the world's changing ones.
  • What are some things that you've turned to for escape from troubles you've experienced? Remember that while not all forms of escape are bad in and of themselves, they aren't a solid foundation to build your peace upon. They can't replace the true, lasting peace and joy that only God can give you.
  • Challenge: Ask God to reveal to you something in your life that you're building either your identity or your joy upon that isn't Him. Ask Him to help you place Him above that thing in your heart.
