Home Building 101: Custom Home

What do you want to do for God? When David set out to build a temple, Nathan urged him to move forward. But God stopped him. Instead of David building a house for God, God wanted to build a house for David. God is in the home building business. The great story of history and our lives is the story of what God has done for us. Message based on 2 Samuel 7:1-12, 18-24, 29.Quotes: Nathan: God is with you. Do whatever you want to do?Duane Brooks: God had never had a house, never asked for a house, never needed a house.Duane Brooks: We are educated beyond our level of obedience. We know more of God’s will than we do.C. S. Lewis: What’s all the rumpus about?Duane Brooks: There is no physical Temple in Jerusalem today. Nevertheless, God has a house. Where does God live? In his people. We are his house.Duane Brooks: My house is not my forever house. But the home God builds in us and for us is forever. You won’t build a house for God, but he will build one for you!Karl Barth: Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth. Grace evokes gratitude like the voice an echo. Gratitude follows grace like thunder lightning.Doxology: Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him all creatures here below. Praise him above you heavenly host.
