Read

1 Chronicles 29:1, "Then King David said to the whole assembly... The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God."

Think

"There's only one entity that will last for eternity – the church!" When we hear of the passing of celebrity figures, we often consider the legacy they leave behind. Naturally, it can lead to thoughts of our own potential legacy. Doing so causes us to reflect on our lives and consider how the future will be shaped by our past and present. Are our lives reflective of something that is bigger than we are? Are we making an impact that will last? In the end, people will pass away and buildings will crumble, but a true legacy will live on. That is a legacy we should be a part of. God's church is the entity that will last for eternity. Fellowship Church is part of that amazing legacy. But it does not exist as some monument to man. We are the church. We exist for God! It's a place where life change happens that will have an eternal impact. Kingdoms will come and go. Governments will rise and fall. But the church will last forever! Be a part of the one entity that will never fade away – the church!

Pray

Dear God, thank you for your legacy of the church, the entity that will last for eternity. I'm so thankful to be a part of it. Help me to be eternity-minded and do my part in extending the invitation of life-change to others as we build the church together. In Jesus' name, Amen!
