As our new building was constructed, we added symbolic touches such as bricks from the old church in the footings, and the names of beloved saints inscribed on the concrete floor of the worship space. Such actions were ways of expressing the hope that we are building on a sure foundation. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:10-11).
