A House for God to Live In?

KEY VERSES:

1 Kings 8:27 (NLT)  “But will God really live on earth? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!”

1 Corinthians 3:16 (NLT)  Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?

BIG IDEA: While a building cannot CONTAIN GOD, it can HONOR GOD and become a gathering place where people open their hearts to GOD’S PRESENCE.

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

1. MISSIONAL EFFECTIVENESS. How important is a building to the people we are trying to reach?
2. MOMENTUM. How would a building help to relieve and re-energize volunteer staff? What new work would a building create? 
3. GENERATIONAL IMPACT. How could a building advance the Gospel beyond ourselves?
4. FIT. What would a building look like that would advance God’s vision for this community, rather than distracting from it?
5. INVESTMENT. How much money, time and prayer are you willing to invest into a building that advances God’s vision for this community?
6. HONOR. Would this move at this time be honoring to God?
