Growing A Healthy Church Paraugs

Healthy Churches Follow the Blueprint

In order to build a great building, you need to follow a blueprint. Blueprints outline the complete structure of the building, from the foundation to the framing to the room layout. Blueprints also give a clear picture of what the finished building should look like.

God’s Word is the blueprint for the Church. It identifies the foundation and the plan, and it shows a clear picture of what the Church should look like. Throughout this reading plan, we’ll see a big part of that picture, but today we’ll look at three very powerful primary truths related to the blueprint:

1. Jesus is the foundation for the Church.
2. Jesus will build His Church.
3. We are the building blocks Jesus will use in building His Church.

Healthy churches follow the blueprint. They trust God to build their church on the only foundation strong enough to bring stability and strength. They are passionate about being the church and helping people find their unique role in it.

As you read today, let God’s Word sink deep as you are reminded of these blueprint basics. Jesus is the foundation. He is the builder. He is the leader. We are the Church, and we are here for the world.
