Two Builders

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus told a story about two men. Each man built a house. The wise man built his house on a rock. The foolish man built his house on sand.

Then the rain came down. The floods came up. The wind blew and beat on the houses.

The house on the rock did not fall! The house on the sand fell with a great crash. Jesus said people who hear His words and do them are like the wise man.

Memory Verse

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
