Planting a Healthy Church

DAY 3 OF 7

Build on His Foundation

Did you also know that you have an expert church builder and growth consultant at your disposal? He’s 100% committed to your church plant.

And, it gets even better! You have access to the very best church leader consultant who brings incredible vision, a massive mission, and clear values for your church. He stands ready to lead your church to everything God has planned for it, all free of charge. There is no cost for any of these things, and there is no way to put a price on the value they bring.

All of these powerful things are in and through the person and power of Jesus. The Church was Jesus’ idea. He founded it, and He is still fully committed to it. He is the foundation, the builder, and the head of the church. Fully devoted followers of Christ do not build the church. Jesus builds His church through fully devoted followers. Your job is to follow Him and build the church on His foundation.

You have some major things already in place for your church launch. In today’s reading, you’ll see that the three things you already have for your church plant give you a huge advantage!

First, the foundation for your church has been laid. You just need to build on that foundation, which is Jesus. Also, in Him, you have someone dedicated to growing a strong church—so strong that the gates of hell don’t have a chance! And, you have someone leading with vision, mission, and values—Jesus. He is the foundation, the builder, and the head of the Church.

As you read today, let the truth of these things sink deep. What are the implications for you as a church planter? How does this change your perspective? How will you build on His foundation?
