Cutting Sanctuary Floor
Trenching for new sound booth
Work around the church continues at a fast pace. As you can see by the pictures included in this post, we have some good workers who are not wasting any time. We could not be more pleased with how the project has begun, so thank you for praying so diligently.
As I see how building projects move from demolition of the old through to completion of a new facility, I think of the Christian life. We can’t just expect a nice new life without dealing with some of the old stuff in our life. Not all “old stuff” is bad, but there are things in our life that God needs to deal with if we ever want to get to the place of maturity in Christ. He may have to break up some hardened hearts before He can make them tender to the things of God. He may have to remove some old stains before He can make us clean and refreshed. The apostle Paul said, “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor 5:17).
May this building project remind you of the work of God in your life. It may get messy at times, but it is always worth it in the end. Allow the Master Craftsmen shape you into the person He desires for you to be.
As we pray for the physical work on the church, do not neglect to pray for the spiritual work to be done as well. This is a great opportunity to grow as a church in both areas.
Are we having fun yet!
To God be the glory,
Pastor Mel
