Be a builder!


Event: Stephen's Speech to the Sanhedrin

S - Scripture
Acts 7 v. 48a Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands.

O - Observation
Church is NOT a building. God does not just sit in our churches and wait to see who comes in. No, church is a body of believers. 1 Corinthians 3 v. 16, "Do you not know that you are God's temple, and that God's spirit dwells in you? Just as a physical building represents and draws us to Christ; so must we as individuals, as building blocks, construct an invisible church. 1 Peter 2 v. 5, "And like living stones, be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." That's the most awesome thing about God, and him dwelling in us. Living stones. We can configure so many different structures. A small group doing a bible study (a structure). A group of Christian friends playing (structure) meeting and hanging with other Christians on a mission trip or visiting family (all structures).

A - Application
What structures am I building as a living stone?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a part of many worthy structures for you.   Love Will
