Consider this: to the non-builder, most of the emphasis and excitement is focused on the design of the house, the building, or the structure they're looking to build. But how much attention and consideration is given to its foundation? When dreams are dreamt, are they ever about building the foundation of their dreams? Does the planning and the laying of the foundation ever outvalue or at least balance the esteem given to the architectural design, the interior decorations, or whether there's enough money to build out the man cave or that dream kitchen with its high-end appliances?

In our world, it's assumed that the builder knows how to plan, prepare, and build the necessary foundation while we get to focus on the more "important stuff." But in the Kingdom of God, the responsibility of building the foundation has been entrusted to us. We are the builders, and the completion of the foundation is in our hands.

I invite you to join me on a journey through Scripture, where we will discover how the spiritual foundation we choose to lay sets the limits for the kind of structure we can build.

In 1 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul stated that he was given the grace to be a wise master builder. But directly after that, Paul indicated he used that God-given grace to lay, or in other words, build a foundation. However, this foundation wasn't a physical foundation, it was a spiritual foundation! But where did Paul learn how to lay a spiritual foundation? From the One Who gave him the grace!

I invite you to come with me on a journey through Scripture as we discover how the Architect of the Universe—our Heavenly Father—laid the foundation of the Earth and how that applies to our lives today in Christ.

At some point in our lives, every one of us have asked ourselves these questions: "How do I begin? Where do I start?" Thankfully, we don't have to figure that out! The Holy Spirit—Our Helper—is standing by, ready to impart to us plans from our Father—the Architect.

Now, certainly, He's got the building plans, but what if you're not ready to build the structure? What if you still have to lay the foundation and you don't know how to begin? What if you're not even sure your foundation has been completed yet? I invite you to come with me on a journey through Scripture as we discover how to begin your foundation.

If you could have a sit-down talk with our beloved brother, Paul, the writer of 3/4ths of the New Testament, wouldn't you like to know how he went from falling to the ground in pride on the road to Damascus, to being an Apostle from God to the gentiles? Wouldn't you like to know what happened after his supernatural experience meeting Jesus, and how he went from persecuting the church to building them up? Wouldn't it be awesome to know what transpired in-between, and how Paul laid and completed the foundation of Jesus Christ in his own life?

Well, it doesn't have to be a mystery anymore because Paul actually answered these questions in his letter to the Galatians! I invite you to come with me on a journey through Scripture as we discover and uncover Paul's personal testimony of how the foundation of Jesus Christ was laid and perfected in his own life.

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Which comes first: the foundation or the building?

The spirit of these two questions is the same, and they are not mysteries. Yet, there are people today who will argue it's the egg that came first. Any builder will tell you that if you're going to build a house or building of any size, you must first have a firm, complete, finished foundation BEFORE you build your house or building. Otherwise, the house and building will surely fall. So, which comes first: the foundation or the building? Join me in today's episode as we go on a journey through Scripture and dig out this foundational truth.

In 1 Corinthians 3:10 (KJV), Paul describes himself as a "wise masterbuilder" according to the grace God gave to him. He went on to say, "...let every man take heed how builds..." In order to build our individual lives on Jesus and, like Paul, to contribute our part to building up the Body of Christ—God's Building—"wisdom is the principal thing" (Pro. 4:7, KJV). What are we supposed to build? How are we supposed to build? Where are we supposed to build? When are we supposed to build? Would you like to find out? It's all in the Architect's plans. Tune-in with us today in this episode as we discover how we require the grace and wisdom of God to build our lives according to the Architect's plans.

Jesus is the foundation, and we—the Body of Christ—are the building. But what kind of building are we? And who is the architect? Why is it important to know that we're God's building? Come with me on a journey through Scripture as we answer these questions and more!

During His 3 to 3.5 years of ministry on the Earth, Jesus laid the foundational truths of New Testament doctrine. After His resurrection and ascension, His disciples continued to preach and build the Church upon this foundation.

This foundation laid in the hearts of His disciples revealed an amazing side effect: people began to take note that they had been with Jesus. Join me in this episode as we discover how the result of building our lives on the Word of God changes us to be just like Jesus. And as you and I surrender more and more of our lives to the living Word of God, the world around us will be able to see and take note that we've been with Jesus, too!
