## Resource

This Sunday, guest preacher Dr. Wanda Walborn continued our FOLLOW series with a teaching on obedience from Matthew 7:21-27. Obedience is not an inspiring word for many of us. We want Jesus' love, His forgiveness, His grace, but we hesitate at obedience because we have seen the word distorted. Scripture presents it differently—not the loss of freedom, but the way we learn to trust a good Father. In the parable of the wise and foolish builders, both houses faced the same storm. The difference was the foundation, quietly formed long before the rain, built with integrity, consistent sowing, and grit. The habits formed in the calm show up in the storm. The application from this sermon was to ask the Lord for one habit to practice this week. Write it down. Tell someone. The small decisions you make each day become the foundation you stand on tomorrow.
