Summer on the Mount — Week 8: Build Your Life on the Rock | Matthew 7:13–27
Texts: Matthew 7:13–27; Jeremiah 17:7–8

What are you building your life on?

In the series finale of Summer on the Mount: A Better Way to Be Human, Miguel Plaza closes Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount by teaching from Matthew 7:13–27. Jesus ends His sermon with a series of choices: two gates, two roads, two trees, two kinds of fruit, two claims, two groups of people, two builders, two houses, and two foundations.

This message reminds us that hearing the words of Jesus is not the same as building on them. The wise builder is not wise because he heard more, but because he practiced what he heard. Obedience is how hearing becomes foundation.

On Back to School Sunday, this message also speaks to students, parents, school staff, and the whole church. We are all being sent back into something: classrooms, workplaces, homes, new seasons, and new decisions. The question is not simply whether we have heard Jesus, admired Jesus, or learned about Jesus. The question is whether our lives are being built on Him.

If you have built your identity on approval, success, relationships, control, comfort, or anything other than Jesus, this message is an invitation to build again—on the only foundation strong enough to hold.
