God is Always Going to Construct His Church by Pastor Ed Young

I still cannot explain to you the whats and the whys and the hows of this whole situation. But you know what I do know? The devil was trying to take down Fellowship Church. I looked at Lisa and I said, “Lisa, this is it. All the work, all the prayers, all of the sacrifices, down the tubes because of a betrayer.”

And you know what my wife said?  She said, “Honey, God has called us to build his church. And if it doesn’t happen here, we’ll start over and do it again.” I’m so thankful I married a ladder and not an adder, aren’t you?  What great words. So here we are, man, we’re in a tight situation.  We’re in a difficult situation.  Now we owe millions and millions and millions of dollars that we don’t have.

We don’t have any multi-squillionaire people just dropping millions on us.  What do we do?  Well, this building had to go on, 4300 seats.  Our children’s building, we put the brakes on.  And some of you who have been here for a long time remember that when we moved into this building in 1998, the children’s facilities weren’t even done.  We had to have the children meeting outside for several months because of betrayal.  The reason today we have the modular buildings out there for our preschool is because of betrayal.

But here is what I have learned; you don’t betray God’s church.  You don’t mess around with God’s church.  You don’t trash God’s church.  You’re not disloyal to God’s church.  God is always going to construct his church.  That’s why Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”
