Every builder makes a choice about where to dig. In this message closing out our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Don Wallick walks through Jesus's teaching from the Beatitudes to the parable of the two builders, showing that the point was never just to admire these words but to live them. Along the way we revisit what it means to be salt and light, to seek reconciliation instead of retaliation, to practice faith quietly rather than for show, and to trust God instead of hoarding what we think we need. The sermon ends with a question worth sitting with: is your foundation built on rock, or on sand? Watch "Two Houses," preached September 6, 2026 at Church of the Messiah, and ask yourself what it would look like to actually act on the words of Jesus this week, not just hear them. Scripture: Matthew 7:24-29, drawing on the whole of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7.
