Bedrock or Stumbling Block
March 30, 2025
When we build on a solid foundation we build to stand the storms of life. Is our faith built on bedrock or do we become a stumbling block because of the choices we make? Our lives easily turn to rubble when the storms come when we are not building on the bedrock of Jesus.
READ
Matthew 16:13-23
Jesus asked, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And the disciples said, “Some say John the Baptist but others Elijah and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

2. What kind of a foundation are you looking for in your life? What is your bedrock?
3. How is suffering different than serving?
RESPOND
1. What is the difference between saying Jesus is Lord of your life and orienting your whole life to following Jesus?
2. Have you ever suffered to do good? How are you being called to take up your cross and follow Jesus as a suffering servant?
