What Happens When God Is the One Building the Future?

Apr 26, 2026    Gary Sandberg

What does it really mean to build your life—and your community—on a solid foundation? In this sermon, we explore Jesus’ words about building on rock instead of sand and what that looks like for a church stepping into its future. At the heart of it all is a simple but powerful truth: this isn’t something we build alone—God is already at work, inviting us to join in.

What You’ll Learn:

What Jesus means by building on a strong foundation

Why faith isn’t about what we achieve, but what God does through us

How generosity, hospitality, and mission flow from being rooted in Christ

What it looks like to trust God with the future instead of controlling it

Why the church is a people, not a building or a legacy
