On the first Sunday in the new Vintage21 space, Tyler Jones paints a picture for 117 S. West Street. After laboring to upfit a new building it's enticing to sit back and rest- but the sacrifice is just beginning. What does God desire for Vintage21 and Raleigh? What should our prayer be? Listen and find out.
I Kings 8:27-29 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O lord my God, listening to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays before you this day. That your eyes may be open night and day toward this house, the place of which you have said, My name shall be there…
II Chronicles 2:5 The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
2 Chronicles 2:6 But who is able to build Him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven cannot contain Him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before Him.
Reflection Questions:
Spend some time thanking God for His provision to our Family over the last four years.
Spend some time asking God so use this building as tool to restore Raleigh and make His name known.
If we encounter defeat, we must own our part. God’s heart for the Triangle and calling on our church is precise, we are to reach the million people that do not know Him. Finish your time acknowledging you sin and need for Christ. Ask Him to forgive.
