Title: Build Stronger (1)
Series: Build Stronger
Author: Joey Rodgers
Text: Luke 12:35-48
I want to start today w/ a quiz. First - can you identify the following pictures - (1) Pyramids; (2) Great Wall; (3) Colosseum; (4) Machu Picchu; (5) Wailing Wall; (6) Acropolis; (7) Taj Mahal; (8) Chichén-Itzá; (9) Ephesus; (10) Petra. Who here has visited (5) or more? What do all of these structures have in common? They were built to last!
Today, we begin year (4) of our (6) year missional plan to Aim Higher, Dream Bigger.
It all began w/ Shine Brighter. After 20 yrs of deferred maintenance, we set out to reinvigorate, refresh, and renovate our ministries/facilities b/c the light that shines the farthest, shines the brightest at home.
In year 2, our challenge was to Think Smaller by prioritizing people over programs and to put key relationships w/ God, our families, and others at the forefront of our lives to spur one another.
This past year, our focus was to Live Bolder by consciously living each day on mission where we live, work, and play to influence/introduce others to the God who loves them w/ an unconditional, eternal love.
Today, we're launching into year (4) of our (6) year plan - and the focus this year is to Build Stronger.
To Build Stronger refers to the intentional process of enhancing/fortifying something - whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or relational to improve/increase its resilience, endurance, effectiveness, and quality. In essence, it's engaging in actions/practices that positively impact ourselves/others to contribute to a more fulfilling/impactful existence.
W/ regard to our church - to build stronger is about how we're striving to improve/empower our churchmembers to strengthen/fortify God's Kingdom as we seek first His Kingdom/righteousness.
All of this is predicated on an idea found in Luke 12 - that to whom much is given... much is required!
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burnin ...
