Build The House: A Call To Build The ChurchSample

"What Are You Building?" The Tabernacle was a portable tent that was set up to house the Ark of the Covenant and the presence of God. It was a mobile church where Moses and the high priests could meet with God on behalf of the people. One of the greatest kings of Israel, David, realized one day that he was living in a palace and the Ark of the Covenant was still in a tent. David loved God so much that it bothered him that his house was lavish and God’s House was a tent! Although God never asked for a permanent building, David’s heart was in the right place. He wanted to honor God and make His House a priority. Though David had it in his heart to build a permanent building for God’s House, he was not the one to build it. God specifically told David to have his son, Solomon, build the Temple. Although God cannot be contained in any building, having a posture of honoring God's House pleases Him. When we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, God promises to take care of us. Do you have a desire to help build God’s House through your local church? What does it look like for you to contribute to building God’s kingdom?
