The Church Has Left The Building | Dare to Dream | Pastor Steve Andres

We do available, God does amazing! This weekend Pastor Steve Andres concluded our DARE TO DREAM series and our church committed to walk in faith and generosity.Acts 3:4-6Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”The very first miracle after the upper-room outpouring was to bless a man who could never have reached the upper room. If Peter and John had never left the building, the lame man would never have received his healing!1) The dream is not for a church building, but for changed lives.The man in the story was close to a magnificent church building, but he remained unchanged. Our dream is not to host church activities, but for multitudes to experience the life-changing grace of God in Christ.2) God gives his people vision for something better.Peter and John were equipped to see something better for the lame man than just begging for help. They knew that Jesus could heal the man, because they had seen him do it with others.3) Your obedience is an answer to someone else’s prayers.In one moment of obedience, Peter and John became the answer to countless days and nights of prayer and searching. God is already preparing us to be an answer to someone else’s prayers.When we are thinking days and dollars, God is thinking nations and generations. That is why we give with faith and generosity, trusting that this is only the beginning of a blessing that will last for generations!
