What is your foundation built on?

It's about a week before Christmas. I thought we were going to have a small group, because only 4 inmates came to the session at first. Then another 4 guys came in late from another block. Then later another guy came in after his visit, so we had 9 inmates which is a good sized group.
Point: God brings the people to the session. Whether it is one person or twenty people, it is God's session, not mine.

We sang Christmas carols tonight. We were going to stop at three songs, but the inmates really wanted to sing 'Amazing Grace", so we did. As the fifth verse of the song, we sing "Praise God" as the text, repeating it throughout the melody.

Then we read Psalm 37. The "Fret Not" Psalm.

Our lesson scripture tonight was Matthew chapter 7. We spend a lot of time there. It starts with Judge not, lest you be judged. You can really spend a whole session on that verse. But we went on to verse 37 - the part about the 2 builders.
