In his sermon 'We are Building on the Solid Rock,' Alexander Strauch emphasizes that the foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, and His apostles and prophets. This foundation is described as solid, truthful, and everlasting. Christians are encouraged to build their lives upon this foundation by following a divine blueprint that provides guidance on how to live, act, and make decisions. The sermon contrasts this with the non-Christian experience, where there is no divine word to guide them, leading to a reliance on majority opinion or force. The sermon underscores the unchanging and eternal nature of the Christian foundation.
We have a solid foundation. It's not built on someone's ideas. It's built on the Lord Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh and His chosen apostles and prophets. So it is truth. And it's solid and it will last forever.
And so that's what we're building upon. And so our life has set before it a blueprint. There's a guide map to how we should live, how we should act, where we should be going. And so the Christian has a word from God and that word from God guides us. There are so many questions raised, the ethical questions didn't exist 25 years ago.
We have that solid foundation in the apostles and prophets and Jesus Christ. And that's what we need to look to, to guide our life, to encourage our life, to live our life upon. So we have a word from God. Remember, the non-Christian man has no word from God. It's simply a matter of the 51 percent or who yells the loudest or has the biggest guns.
They could force their way. So we're built on the solid rock.
