This Sunday, we will be celebrating the Grand Opening of our new ministry hub. Our sermon text will be Ephesians 3:14-21. The message is entitled: God’s Love for Waterbrooke Church.

One of the questions that someone might ask us is, “Why build this ministry hub?” The answer is rooted in one of the great truths of the New Testament. God’s purpose in the sending of His Son into the world was for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.

For the apostle Paul, one of the earth-shaking discoveries that he had to make as a former self-righteous religious zealot was that God was making a people for Himself out of all the broken families and divided nations of this shattered world. As I write this, I am in Northern Ireland, where people still live in separated communities between Protestants and Catholics, and still have walls up between Irish Republicans and British Loyalists.

The church exists to glorify God by going on the adventure of discovering in community how broad and long and high and deep is the love of God in Christ. Waterbrooke exists to explore gospel-empowered community in the power of Christ and to the praise of His glory. This building project creates new spaces for that community to be fostered and explored in prayer, conversation, discipleship, and compassion. God loves His church and we have the privilege of both discovering and sharing that love in Christ.

Come this Sunday as we celebrate God’s love and faithfulness and as we commit ourselves to grow as a gospel- centered community together.
