Christ the Solid Rock

We can stand firm and face the trials that come our way when we build our lives on a strong foundation. Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.


To build on the rock a person must first be in right relationship with Christ, born again, saved by grace through faith. But it doesn't end there, we need to continually be in His word and be obedient to what it says. The man who builds on sandy soil symbolizes those who do not give Jesus and His Word their proper place.

Matthew 7:24-27 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be likea a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
