"God Builds His Church"

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.
