Theme: Repairer of The Broken Walls
Revelation 7:13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes —who are they, and where did they come from?"
Revelation 7:14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
"We are blessed by the blood of the Lamb"

"Christ is the chief cornerstone of the foundation of the church and we are the bricks that help build the Temple"

Haggai 1:1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest:
Haggai 1:2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "These people say, ’The time has not yet come to rebuild the LORD’s house.’"
Haggai 1:3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
Haggai 1:4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?"
Haggai 1:5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.
Haggai 1:6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Haggai 1:7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.
Haggai 1:8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the LORD.
"Our hearts and minds are in taters or disarray, our spiritually needs to be fed and uplifted daily to sustain us"
"We do not tithe which leaves our storehouses in shambles, we need to realign and do what is right in the eyes of the lord there's a blessing in tithes which can repair the broken walls"
Revelation 3:1 "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Revelation 3:2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.
Revelation 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
"We must not live in denial of our short Cummings but accept and repent to be restored and repaired"
Revelation 3:8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Revelation 3:9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars —I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
Closing
" The house of the Lord is in tatters( us the congregation) we refuse to serve the Lord, express our gifts, live in fear, constrained by sin but God is the answer we must remain steadfast in our faith the cornerstone of the foundation of the walls"
Oh how good it is to be by the side of the Lord, cast your burdens unto him and he shall free you in the mighty name of Jesus!
