0:00.0 | Lesson 6. Building on your homestead. Digging into the Word. For we are God's fellow |
0:07.6 | workers. You are God's field, God's building, according to the grace of God given to me. Like a skilled |
0:14.9 | master builder I laid a foundation and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it, for no one can |
0:23.0 | lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. First Corinthians 3, 9 through 11. |
0:33.7 | Before a builder can start the structure of his building, he must first lay what's called a foundation. |
0:39.6 | This foundation is usually made of stone or concrete so that the structure of the building has |
0:44.9 | something solid to build upon. When buildings do not have a good solid foundation, it can cause |
0:50.4 | major damage to the rest of the building. The walls can collapse, the floor can sink in, |
0:56.4 | and many other issues can arise that make the building completely uninhabitable. This is exactly |

1:24.9 | secured firmly upon Christ, we are able to build strong, beautiful lives |
1:30.2 | that reflect His glory with the work we do for His kingdom. |
1:35.6 | Every time you start a new project, or you work hard at your schoolwork, or your job, or |
1:40.8 | you foster your relationships with your friends and family, you are building upon |
1:45.3 | whatever foundation is laid in your heart. If Christ is your foundation, then you are one of God's |
1:51.2 | fellow workers, and the work you do, no matter how big or small, has massive meaning for the |
1:57.9 | kingdom of God. Take care how you build. And remember to make sure your |
2:02.3 | foundation in Jesus is strong so that you don't find yourself crumbling when hard times come. |
2:08.3 | As you begin your building projects, I want you to think about how everything you do in life |
