"God Builds His Church"

One ofthe channels on TV my wife and I find ourselves watching is Homes and Gardens –HGTV. There are a lot of shows on this channel that involve the buying, sellingand building of homes. Flip or Flop and Property Brothers are two such showsthat take older homes and completely renovate them – b/c there is a characterflaw in the house that the owner doesn’t like or for potential profit. You getto see many aspects of building or renovating a home from start to completionof the project. And it gets really interesting when they start the renovationprocess and find mold or asbestos or termites – that cause them to spend a greatdeal of time and money to fix.

Homebuilding and renovating pique our interest b/c it just may be that we have afascination and desire with homes we live in or dream of living in.

Thismorning, the apostle Paul uses the image of construction and building to tellus how “God Builds His Church.”He tells us how God’s Word is the foundation with Jesus Christ as the chiefcornerstone; and that we as believers are the church.
