Be the Church
We are constantly saying to Be the church
Not some thing we do but something we are
God has always sought a place to interact with His people
The garden
On amountain
A tent
A temple
A synagogue
And now in us
We are the church
The Church is the one institution that exists for those outside it.
- William Tyndale
The church is unlike, or should be unlike any other organization
It is the Bride of Christ
Cannot love Jesus and demean or hate His bride
It is not something I just go to but it is something I become
So then if we are the church and are being the church , why do we build buildings?
Because I say again all through scripture God has designated a place where he interacts with His people
The perfection of the garden
The precise details of the tabernacle and temple
In all of them - the people were involved in maintaining, supporting, giving, and building
We are not talking about buildings
We are talking about the people and kids that will hear and grow in Jesus
We want to Build families, facilities, and a future.
Last two weeks we spoke about families, today I want to us to think about the spaces that we are praying will be filled with lives being transformed
This is what we are investing in
Turn to 1 Chronicles 29
Let’s pray
David had a desire to build the Temple for God, but God said it would be Solomon who would build it.
David never saw it built, but he knew 3 things that drove him to make the investment
1.
God deserves our best
When or where in your life has God short changed you or cut corners?
2. It is our Joy to give
The most obvious lesson in Christ's teaching is that there is no happiness in having or getting anything, but only in giving.
- Henry Drummond
There is joy in generosity
3. What we have, is His
It is all God’s
To be used as however or whenever He wants
We are invite to join Him
The only investment that will last and is guaranteed a return is an investment in His kingdom
Build
This not about a building - it is about lives
It is not about Family Church - it is about the kingdom and us doing our part.
If the church were the goal, then sustaining that church would logically be the priority of the highest order.
But if the Kingdom of God was the goal, then the Kingdom-building instrument would gladly self-sacrifice for the eternal prize.
- Author: Jeff Christopherson
Next week we will make commitments as to how we will invest in the future of our church and mission to reach our community.
Today I ask you, what are you building that will make an eternal impact
Better yet what are you willing to invest that will make an eternal impact
God does not need us, but He does invite us to be a part of something huge.
Let’s pray
