A Strong Foundation

We are gearing-up for our next building drive, A Strong Foundation, realizing that in order to expand our facilities and build our sanctuary we need to pay down our debt so that we’ll be in good financial shape when we do build. We need to take care of our own personal foundations as well, so that we can be equipped for the journey to which God has called us.

Our foundation is what makes us who we are. Our egos and our souls make up this foundation, influenced by our heritage, faith, environment and actions. To have a strong foundation, God has to have a central place. If God comes into your life for just an hour on Sunday that is a sign that your foundation is not as strong as it might be. The strong foundation that Jesus wants us to build is our spirit; Jesus wants us to strengthen the light within us. By doing this, we grow in faith, love and devotion. We become the light of Christ for the world. Build your foundation by spending time alone with God, reading and contemplating God’s Word, in prayer and meditation, and perseverance. The spirit grows on it’s own time.

God of Light, look upon me with favor, and help me to realize and grow the light that is within me.  Amen.
