Introduction

  • I Corinthians 14; Acts 20:7 – It’s God’s will that local churches assemble. Buildings are authorized under this general authority.

Let’s keep our focus on the spiritual.

Let’s thank God for the building.

  • Acts 2:46; 3:11; 5:12 – Where did the first Christians meet? Solomon’s portico.
  • Isn’t the need for a new building a wonderful problem to have?
  • Many brethren in the world do not enjoy such comforts.

Let’s not compromise the gospel to fill the pews.

Wherever we worship, let’s try to do it well.

In matters of judgment, let us practice love.
