Scripture: Luke 6:46-49
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell you? 47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. 48 That one is like a man building a house who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it quickly collapsed, and great was the ruin of that house.”
Questions
Everyone is invited to stay after lunch (which is provided) to discuss questions raised by the main Scripture passage and/or sermon in a small group format. We'd love to prepare ahead to answer your questions, so please read through the passage above a few times and then type your questions into the "My Questions" box on this page.
When reading Scripture, it is helpful to:
- Read the passage in more than one translation of the Bible. BibleGateway.com is a great resource for this. This article published by BibleGateway will help you understand how different translations compare to each other. At Walmer, we usually read from the NRSV.
- Read an interlinear version of the passage. This shows the Greek or Hebrew text with the English translation immediately below, word-for-word. It also provides resources to better understand the grammar in the original languages and how that grammar affects meaning.
