WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? – Week 2
1 Corinthians 3:9-17 *

1 Corinthians 3:9-16 ESV – For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.

1 Corinthians 3:9-16 ESV – For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:9-16 ESV – 13 each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

1 Corinthians 3:9-16 ESV – 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

1 Corinthians 3:9-16 ESV – Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:9 ESV – For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV – Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

As a church we are called to KNOW GOD, FIND FREEDOM in Him, DISCOVER OUR PURPOSE and MAKE A DIFFERENCE in our world.
