Kingdom Builders

Understanding the Power of Kingdom Builders

Introduction
Welcome to our church blog! Today, we delve into the heart of our recent sermon, which focused on the concept of "Kingdom Builders." This message is not just about financial giving but about understanding our role in God's grand design. Whether you're a long-time member or a curious visitor, this summary will help you grasp the essence of the sermon and how you can apply its teachings to your life.

What Does It Mean to Be a Kingdom Builder?

Awareness of What You Have
One of the key points discussed was the importance of being aware of what God has given us. Whether it's our job, influence, or resources, we often underestimate the power of what we hold. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish serves as a powerful reminder that what we have, no matter how small, is enough for God to perform miracles.

Thankfulness for Your Resources
Are you thankful for what you have? Jesus showed us the importance of gratitude when He thanked God for the loaves and fish before distributing them. Being thankful for our resources, no matter how limited they may seem, opens the door for God to use them in miraculous ways.

Obedience in Action
The final step is obedience. Jesus instructed His disciples to distribute the food, and they did so without hesitation. Similarly, we are called to act on what we have been given. Obedience in using our resources for God's kingdom allows us to witness His miracles firsthand.

The Impact of Kingdom Builders

Local Impact
Our church is committed to making a difference locally. We partner with organizations like Under One Roof and Buffalo Ridge to support community initiatives. We also focus on foster care, ensuring that families and children in need are well-supported.

Future Christian Leaders
Investing in the next generation is crucial. Our church has purchased a building to expand our kids' area and is developing programs to nurture future Christian leaders. We also prioritize safety with protective measures like installing security films on our windows.

Global Impact
Our global initiatives include partnerships with organizations like Involved International and Designs for Hope. These partnerships allow us to extend our reach to places like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda, where we support church planting, water projects, and solar installations.

Life Application

Challenge for the Week
This week, take a moment to reflect on what you have been given. Are you aware of your resources? Are you thankful for them? How can you be obedient in using them for God's kingdom?

Questions to Ponder
1. What resources do I have that I often overlook?
2. How can I show gratitude for what I have?
3. What steps can I take to be more obedient in using my resources for God's work?

Conclusion
Being a Kingdom Builder is about more than just financial giving; it's about recognizing, appreciating, and acting on what God has given us. As we move forward, let's commit to being aware, thankful, and obedient, trusting that God will use our efforts to perform miracles.

Thank you for joining us in this journey. Let's continue to build God's kingdom together, both locally and globally. Amen.
