I remember my first real job.  I was so excited (mainly to get a paycheck) but I specifically remember loving being a part of the team.  As a bus boy I was helping make sure the whole restaurant was clean and was an optimum environment for hospitality to take place.  Every time I cleaned the table, I was caring for people.  Work is an interesting thing.  Once we lose sight of the big vision, it becomes discouraging.  The church is work and may we stay focused.  Sometimes it takes opposition to create an opportunity to accomplish more than you thought was possible.  Their plan was frustrated…so it’s time to accomplish some work.  As we work together on the mission of the church, let us focus on the clear call to rebuild lives.

Watch Week 3 of Relaunch:  “Fighting For The Church Family” Here:

When the work on the wall is in full swing the people of Jerusalem are attacked fiercely by the opposition.  They are jeered at, humiliated and their physical well being is even threatened.  Like the people rebuilding the wall, as we rebuild lives one person at a time we must come together and fight for our church family through praying continually, working tirelessly, and motivating constantly.
