The Sermon On The Level - Part 4 | Luke 6:43-49 | Pastor John Miller

Did you know you can believe the right things about Jesus and still be lost? In this sobering conclusion to the "Sermon on the Level" (Luke 6:43–49), Pastor John Miller warns against the danger of an empty confession. A true disciple is not defined by what they say, but by the fruit they bear and the foundation upon which they build their lives. Pastor John unpacks two powerful illustrations: one from horticulture (the tree and its fruit) and one from architecture (the two builders). Discover why "good omitted is evil committed" and why your words are simply a bucket bringing up what is already in the well of your heart. Learn the five keys to making biblical judgments with humility and grace, and find out what it truly means to build your marriage, family, and future on the "Rock" of Christ's teaching. In a world of shifting sands, this message is a call to move beyond hearing and into radical, life-saving obedience. In this study, you will discover: - Fruit Inspection: Why we are called to be "fruit inspectors" of doctrine and character rather than critical judges. - The Treasure of the Heart: Understanding how our "treasure chest" of inner thoughts eventually manifests in our speech. - Five Ways to Judge: A practical guide to making judgments humbly, prayerfully, biblically, lovingly, and mercifully. - The Danger of "Lord, Lord": A cross-reference study of Matthew 7 and the most frightening words in the Bible: "I never knew you." - Expositional Listening: Why listening to a sermon should be as urgent as listening to a flight attendant’s safety briefing. - Digging Deep: The architectural necessity of laying a foundation on the Word of God to survive the inevitable storms of life. 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of Luke here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: The Danger of an Empty Confession 01:30 - Review: The Disposition of a True Disciple 03:35 - Section 1: The Lesson from Horticulture (Verses 43-45) 05:15 - Fruit Inspectors: Distinguishing Good Trees from Corrupt Ones 08:00 - The Heart as a Treasure Chest: What are you storing? 10:15 - Five Ways to Offer Biblical Judgment 12:15 - The Sufficiency of Scripture: The Bible is Enough 15:25 - Practical Tips: Judging Privately and Gently 18:50 - Judging the Heart: Your Words are a Bucket to the Well 22:15 - Section 2: The Lesson from Architecture (Verses 46-49) 23:15 - The Contradiction: Why Call Me "Lord" but Not Obey? 26:15 - Matthew 7:21: The Warning of Judgment Day 28:10 - Personal Relationship vs. Religious Conduct 30:10 - The Flight Attendant Illustration: Are You Really Listening? 33:25 - The Wise Builder: Digging Deep on the Rock of Scripture 35:10 - Storms of Life: Bereavement, Loss, and Pain 36:45 - The Foolish Builder: Disregarding the Foundation 38:35 - Father's Day Application: Being an Example to Your Children ⛪️ Connect with Revival Christian Fellowship We are a church located in Menifee, CA, dedicated to the expository, verse-by-verse teaching of God's Word.
