This sermon is situated in the truth that every person has foundations, crowns, and teachers. Foundations are the things and/or people we stand on that enable us to live the lives we lead. Crowns are the things we consider to be the pinnacle of beauty and honour in our lives. Teachers are the people and/or resources we stand alongside that teach & advise us on life.
This passage encourages us to put on the unfadingly beautiful crown of the Lord Jesus Christ rejecting the fading crown of pride. This is evident in whether we give God the honour and praise for all that is good in our lives. We are also encouraged to make the Word of God our primary and most significant teacher. For what could be better than the very words of God himself. Finally, we are encouraged to make our only foundation the secure cornerstone of Jesus Christ. There is no other foundation we can stand on that will be as secure, majestic, and eternally glorious as this.
