    I. The Builder’s Wisdom

    Hebrews 3:4 AV
    4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

    II. The Builder’s Foundation

    1 Corinthians 3:10 AV
    10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

    The Wise Builder

    The Wise Builder Digs Deep
    The Wise Builder Lays the Right Foundation

    The Foolish Builder

    The Foolish Builder ignores the Master Builder’s Instructions
    The Foolish Builder Trusts in his own abilities and knowledge

    III. The Builder’s Cost

    Luke 14:28–30 AV
    28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
    Matthew 7:21–23 AV
    21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
    “The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.”
