We're grateful to our Lord that he has given the strength to our brothers in Christ to be able to pour in concrete foundation over the weekend and now they have started on installing the frame for the add-ins in front and on a side. Amazing progress! Glory to our God!

Let's talk a little about FOUNDATION....
If you have
ever asked the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” you will
find yourself in the majority.
Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, accidents; all make us wonder why? Interestingly in John 16:33, Jesus told us that
“in this world you will have trouble.”
That’s a promise that no one can escape.
Trouble doesn’t discriminate if you are young or old, if you are rich or
poor; it makes no difference what city, country, or even continent you are
from. The Bible promises us that “in
this world you WILL have trouble.”
But the
question remains. Why? One thing is certain; disasters always show
us just how powerless we are in this world. We like to think we are in
control. We think;
“I can find my own peace and harmony”
“I can build a solid marriage with my own power”
“I can control myself so that I won’t pay the price for overindulging in life’s pleasures”
“I have everything under control.”
“I can find my own peace and harmony”
“I can build a solid marriage with my own power”
“I can control myself so that I won’t pay the price for overindulging in life’s pleasures”
“I have everything under control.”
But the truth is we have far less
control of our lives than we think.
Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord
establishes his steps.”
So how do we overcome these
disasters? The answer is, same way a
building withstands an earthquake, a floor, or a tsunami. By making sure our foundation is firm. Jesus told a story in Matthew 7 about the
wise man who built his house on the rock—a foundation of knowing and following
God’s Word. Floods and winds could not shake the home built on the rock.
However, “everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be
like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the
floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and
great was the fall of it." (verses 24-27)
As the foundation for the expansion
of our church is poured, we are reminded that this is an investment in our
future. The stone will provide a
foundation for the physical building, but more importantly God’s Word will
become THE foundation of many hearts and lives.
That is the purpose of this building project. That is why we ask for your support. Will you join us?
