4. I'm excited about our new church building.
For the past 4 and half years we've been meeting together as a portable church. We've met in homes, hotels, community centers, fire halls and high schools. Now, we stand at the threshold of building a home to call our own.
Here are a few thoughts regarding our building:
*a building will simply help us be more effective at reaching the lost and equipping the believers
*buildings don't reach people ... people reach and grow people
*i don't want to build a monument for God, i want to build a movement based on the extravagant love of Jesus extended towards a lost and hurting community
*our church building will be functional - each space will be designed for multiple uses - it's a stewardship issue
*our new church building will help us be more creative - just think what we can do if we actually had access to a facility for more than 4 hours a week
*buildings cost you something - the lessons we will learn in sacrificial giving will build our faith and prepare us for even greater works of God's grace in this community.
*i'm excited about the first prayer meeting in our new facility. Jesus said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer."
*i can't wait to see the first person respond to an invitation to accept Christ in our new facility.
*i'm excited to see the first new believer baptized in our new facility
*i wonder who will be the first to be married and join thier lives together in our new facility
*i'm excited see lots of kids in our new kids area dancing, worshipping, learning and having fun in church
