The Prodigal Church Pt. 7
What are you really building? This message explores how believers become co-builders with Christ, learning how grace, unity, and Spirit-filled living form the only structure that can truly stand.
--------
In Unlocking the “How to” Guide for Building the Church, Pastor Paul Lawler unpacks 1 Corinthians 3:10–23 to show how the church is not just a gathering place, but a growing people. The message calls believers to be more than attendees—to be builders. Key applications include:
Build on God’s Grace: Your gifts are from Him, and they’re for His glory.Build on the Foundation of Christ Alone: Not personalities, not popularity—only Jesus.Build with Materials That Last: Your work will be tested. Invest in eternal things.Build in Unity: The “you” in “you are God’s temple” is plural—we build together.Be Filled with the Spirit: The true evidence of Spirit-filled living is fearlessness, love, power, and self-control.The call is clear: Don’t just go to church. Be the Church. Build with intention, build on Christ, and build in step with the Spirit.
