Foundation Stone or Stumbling Block?
1 star|1 comments|August 19, 2008|105 reads
 
The above is the title for David's sermon on August 24th.
He writes: "Everyone of us has the capacity for brilliant insight and great mistakes, and God likes us that way.
One minute Simon was "the rock on which Jesus would build the Church." The next he was Satan, as in "get behind me Satan!" How can one person be so brilliant? How can the same person be so mistaken?
We should know.
Are we aware of our giftedness?
Are we willing to make mistakes?

Read Matthew 16:13-20 (you can just click here to see it) and then think about where you have been a stumbling block to God's will and where you have been a foundation stone on which He could begin to build.

Feel free to comment below. It will be good for us to share.

Know that David will not share any thing you write here verbally without your personal consent.

I can become a stumbling block to God's work in our worship at church if I fail to adequately plan for our experience together in worshipping the Lord.
I too can become a stumbling block to God's work in our worship if I become too zealous in making sure we follow my plan to the letter - and possibly ignoring God's direction as we worship.

I can become a foundation stone when I spend the time planning carefully for worship, but remain open to God's guidance while planning and while executing the plan as we worship together.
