Tonight we take a break from our walk through Genesis to look at the vision the Lord is giving us for this church family. We see in Jesus' words in Mark 11 that the house of God is a "House of prayer for all nations." "House" speaks to the family of God living in communion with one another. "Prayer" speaks to the family of God living in communion with Him. And "nations" speaks to the lost who are not yet in the family of God, but who God desires to be in communion with. We look at the first component tonight, "house," to see what God's design for His house is and how we intend to build THAT house.

Tonight we talked about the significance of The Table before continuing our walk through Genesis. The Lord was the one who closed the door behind Noah. Doors protect, doors separate, and doors connect. What do we do when a door closes and the new door has not yet opened? What do we do when we want to take something, or someone, from a previous season into a new season...but the door closes on them? Let's grow up into a mature church family that understands that we serve a sovereign God who alone ordains times and seasons...and doors.
