KINGDOM OVER CASTLE.
This past Sunday, Pastor Brian Nutt challenged us with a question:
Are we building God’s Kingdom or protecting our castle?
It’s easy to protect what’s comfortable.
Our traditions.
Our preferences.
Our resources.
Our buildings.
Our way of doing things.
But Jesus didn’t call us to hide behind the walls.
He called us to GO.
Go into our neighborhoods.
Go into our workplaces.
Go into our schools.
Go into our homes.
Go into our communities.
“You will be my witnesses…” Acts 1:8
The Church isn’t meant to be a fortress where we hide. It’s an outpost where the Gospel advances.
So this week, let’s ask ourselves:
Are we protecting what we have or deploying what God has given us?
Because the goal isn’t to build the best castle.
The goal is to advance the Kingdom.
