BONUS: Sermon on The Mount,”And DO Them”

A few weeks ago, I was privileged to give a Sunday morning message at my church, and since we captured the audio, I thought we could post it as a special addition for those who may be interested.

The Lord has been opening my eyes to how the “be doers of the Word” theme runs throughout the entire Bible. I keep seeing it almost on a daily basis as we listen and read Scripture. This theme is featured in the Sermon on the Mount as well. The key verses (for this message) are found in the 7th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew:

24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock…

26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand… The person who chooses to act on the Word of God verses the one who does not act of them.

That’s also by the way the essential difference between the person who’s walked through the narrow gate in verse 13 and the one who hasn’t. It is the essential difference between the one who’s like a tree bearing good fruit in verse 18, and the one who isn’t.
