One of
the 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, selling
and building of homes. Flip or Flop and Property Brothers are two such shows
that take older homes and completely renovate them – b/c there is a character
flaw in the house that the owner doesn’t like or for potential profit. You get
to see many aspects of building or renovating a home from start to completion
of the project. And it gets really interesting when they start the renovation
process and find mold or asbestos or termites – that cause them to spend a great
deal of time and money to fix.
Home
building and renovating pique our interest b/c it just may be that we have a
fascination and desire with homes we live in or dream of living in.
This
morning, the apostle Paul uses the image of construction and building to tell
us how “God Builds His Church.”
He tells us how God’s Word is the foundation with Jesus Christ as the chief
cornerstone; and that we as believers are the church.
