Building the Future
Objective: To explain, promote and embrace the core values of our faith community, for individual and collective spiritual growth.
Romans 8:18 NLT Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
Introduction: You can be optimistically enthusiastic about the future of the church, once you understand that it develops by choice and not chance.
This is an exciting time to be a part of the church, because it is the hope of the world and it’s being revived, revitalized, and is more relevant than we know.

Transition: The best way to honor the past, is to live into the future!
Exposition: Since we are Bound by Faith and have been Bonding as Family, Building the Future requires…
-A sensible perspective (suffer now)
Struggle makes you stronger, and the implication is that it is temporary.
-God’s sovereign power (glory…later)
It’s God who sustains and celebrates us.
Conclusion: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Psalms 126:5
