Matthew 7:27 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

Matthew 7:27

The collapse is total — 'great was the fall of it.' A life built on anything other than Jesus cannot hold when the storms come. The parable ends with urgency: choose wisely now.

Memory phrase: Great was the fall of it

Talk about it: How does this story make you feel? Does it make you want to make sure you are building on rock?

Prayer: Jesus, I choose to build my life on You. You are the rock that will never move.
