Episode 212 - Carrying the Load

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Christopher Wren was the premiere English architect of the seventeenth century. In 1688 he was commissioned to design a building and devoted his considerable skill to the task. His design was stunning as it used a series of columns that left a large open space on the first floor to conduct business. The city leaders, though, feared the columns would not be sufficient to support the structure of the upper floors, and they insisted he include four more pillars in the design. However, he intentionally had them constructed too short, so that they did not reach the ceiling above. They looked like other columns, but bore no actual weight.God’s design for the church doesn’t include any decorative columns. Each one of us is called to be a part of God’s design in helping one another in the church.
