Building Committee

This last week was the first service of the Venue68. Tom came in for a live sermon. He began his sermon giving credit to the building committee and the staff/volunteers who oversaw the completion of the buildings. As Tom was going through the names on the various committees, he asked people to stand to be recognized. Somewhat embarrassing was the fact that only a few of the building members were not in the service of almost a 1,000 people. Reflecting on that a little more though, this is a great testimony to Asbury that so few people were actually in the service. This reflects a community of people (mostly older) who have nothing personal to gain from the completion of the building. They will not benefit from this building. They will not experience the programs, the worship, the community. However, they saw the Kingdom growing through this building. Even though it did not involve them or benefit them they worked hard on building this building for others. This is living in the image of Christ, a selfless love for others and the Kingdom that transcends what you will get out of this.
