“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:9-11 NKJV)
I thought this passage did a good job to remind us of some spiritual things that coincide with our new building project. Indeed, what we are working to do, another will one day build on it, just as we have built on the work that others started years ago. Truth for a building, a congregation, or a life. Start with Christ, and all will stand straight and sure!
Thanks to Mike, Pam, and Nick who are just outside the photos above (click to see larger images). The footer and reinforcement bars have been set, and block work will be starting in the next few days.
Please keep us in your prayers that all goes according to plans, and that we are careful with funds.
