A House or A Tent?

These are my notes from Pastor Spencer's sermon Jan 31, 2016.
First, he recapped from the Jan 17 sermon, to bring us back to where we were two weeks prior: Am I building a house for God?
 Or am I setting up a tent now and then?

Then dove right into part two of it:

1. We need a strong foundation to withstand all storms.
2. What we build on needs to be firm and stable.

     *Second Layer - Personal Revelation of who Jesus Christ is - Acts 16:16
          >We can hear about Jesus. We can read about Jesus. We can view artist's renderings of Jesus. And still not believe.

     *Fourth Layer - Everlasting Life - John 3:36
     *Fifth Layer - Chief Cornerstone - Ephesians 2:20
